    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    Mine had no problem starting with the A/C compressor seized, drug the belt right around the stuck pulley like it was turning except for the burning rubber smell and smoke coming off that pulley where the belt was dragging on it.

    My Little Build - 2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, Heavy Towing Package 4x4

    Im not sure where you saw that? Come again? Do you want to explain what you have, and what your trying to do there? OK i did some reference, and you must have a 03 or 04 Expedition if you have a 4R70W, and you may not realize it, but it is quite different from my 2005. both 5.4, but not the...

    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    Im still on the factory motor, alternator, power steering pump, and probably a few other bits at 214,000 I just had to have the A/C gone over, compressor seized and confetti'd the system, its all good now tho. I bought it with a blown OD in the trans for 2500, so that cost me 1300 installed(i...

    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    That sounds 10 kinds of fishy to me as well, I had a ford dealer tell me that my 2007 mustang gt needed the following after it went into limp mode out of the blue after driving some mountains. ECM Throttle Body 2 Cam Sensors Crank Sensor Partial Harness Several Pigtails new throttle pedal and a...

    "New" 05 Expy update

    Gen 3s seem noticably peppier as i have an 05 and an 09, the transmission in the 07+ is much better geared and makes better use of the 5.4 3V engines torque curve, and thus also gets a bit better mileage.

    "HD" tow package 2005 Eddie Bauer

    Excursion != Expedition(does not equal), two different Transmissions, two very different load capacities, power ratings, and expected duties. Excursion likely has a 4R100 if its gas which is on average built for 1000 lbs of torque peak, and is heavier and larger when compared side by side...

    "HD" tow package 2005 Eddie Bauer

    Towing with the 03-06 with significant load, especially on hills, with OD turned on is a bad idea, over time it will blow out OD and you will be looking at a decent bill to replace the OD Band in the transmission. I bound mine from someone who did it, after AAMCO quoted him 3k+ to fix it which...

    A Dying Breed

    With the 2V or 3V V10s tho, the 2V was a good at dragging things, but was over all sluggish, the 3V which are kinda hard to find on the other hand seemed to be torque hoppers.

    A Dying Breed

    One idea i had was to score a F-250 from 2010 with the 3V V10, very basic without all the fancy features that make the harnesses complicated, and then have the cab of an excursion swapped over, i believe they are very closely compatible shape wise, and obviously retain the dash and equipment of...

    Another tow mirror thread!

    You can find the trail ridge ones on amazon buddy, you just need to search by part number as they are not well listed by keyword

    She is gone...

    That only gives me the 03, because that year had numerous mirror combinations depending on trim levels, plus he lists another expedition in his signature so i was making my question more thorough.
