    Learning the Ropes with The 5.4 EB 2nd gen

    Congrats on your Expedition. Yes, given all the money you're putting into your Expy your only alternative is to make it your forever vehicle I've had my '04 Eddie Bauer 2 wheel drive with towing package for several years. I'll never get rid of it. I had to replace the tires, rear axles and...

    What does your MPG look like with your EX when towing

    I own an '04 Eddie Bauer 2WD with the towing package. I've towed my fully enclosed Worthington, all aluminum motorcycle trailer loaded with 2 heavyweight bikes with related 'stuff' on several 1000 mile trips between the northeast and the southeast. On I-95 coming out of Florida I was seeing...

    Dashboard Issue

    I didn't see your reply till now. I didn't specify an amperage, I just asked for a replacement for my model. The first replacement as a Motorcraft (which failed), the second was from Autozone. Now that you've mentioned it I'll do some research and see what it is. Thanks.

    Dashboard Issue

    I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer with a 5.4, 2wd, tow package, no navigation. I had an issue this summer. I got the D262 DTC along with the overcharge DTC. It's not the first time I've gotten the D262 error which appears to be a general SCP (serial communication protocol) error. The day after I...

    towing performance

    This summer I've been doing some towing with the 2004 Eddie Bauer edition Expy I bought in February. It's got the 5.4, 2wd with the towing package. I've made a number of trips with either an all aluminum enclosed motorcycle trailer (6.5'x12") or a 6'x12' enclosed steel framed utility trailer...

    New old Expedition owner

    I posted in February that I bought an '04 while visiting my snowbirding brother and sister-in-law in Daytona Beach. Since I had a flight booked to return to New Jersey I left it there with the intention of going back down in March to drive it home. I did that, diving it back on the 28th. I...

    PSI on tires - what do you run?

    Look on the tire sticker on the drivers side B pillar. Am I correct in assuming everyone's Expy has that sticker? If you're running the stock size/type it'll tell you the proper pressure. For my '04 Eddie Bauer it's 35 psi. I'm thinking that pressure is for curb weight. I believe the 'max...

    RWD vs 4WD

    I expect there are folks who need 4x4 frequently and it's worth it to them. Most people rarely need it but buy it because it's cool. I don't see resale value as a good reason to buy a 4x4. The added complexity of the 4 wheel drive system means more potential for failures. Regardless of how...

    Car and Driver just does not like the Expedition...

    Why do you care about what a bunch of moto-journalists think about anything? Cancel your subscription, if you have one, and write them off as the sell outs to their advertisers that they are.

    forum newbie

    If you do diesel, how about a 7.3? Don't get much better than that. There'd be a lot of beefing up you'd have to do but it'd be cool.

    How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

    Thanks, I found that site when I was considering buying the vehicle and plugged my VIN into it. The report was pretty complete but didn't identify the model transmission.

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    I've always done my own brakes though I'm NOT a professional mechanic. I only replace rotors if it's necessary. I know when I see the rotor if I consider it necessary. The more important step, than replacing the rotors unless they clearly need it, is to perform maintenance on the brake...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Got the service manuals today for the '04 and started going through them. They look almost untouched. Edited to add: Volume 1, section 100 of the manual identifies the codes on the Vehicle Identification Label. In my case the new information I discovered is I have the code "W" under "TR"...
