    Would an 07 be a smart purchase?

    Have the same Exp 07 EL and I have 270K now. I am not getting rid of it anytime soon. Sounds like a good deal

    Replacement tires

    On my third set of Bridgestone Duelers 275/55/R20 and they are perfect for Ohio. I get about 70K out of them and rotate every 10K. They hold up well, quiet and off road (hunting destinations) and great in snow. Just another choice...

    Spark plugs - I'm a little confused about what to buy

    Have 260+ miles on my 07 Expedition EL. I have replace and used the 546 as well. However your second statement says it stutters going down the rd. I am assuming you have the 5.4 triton?? If you are doing the work yourself then replacing at that mileage (which I did) is the first place I went...

    2007 Flush and fill? Anyone done it with high miles? PLEASE READ ASAP

    Have 260K+ on my EX EL and have only drained and filled one time at 150K only due to the fact I towed about 6Klbs+ about 20 times per year for three years. My heavy towing days are over and numerous ford mechanics insist do not flush high mileage transmissions and so I had drain and fill and...

    Expedition Vibrates like an unbalanced wheel

    That is probably my next step. I think I will head to the rim mechanic and see if they see anything with them off car. I have heard of vibration detectors can help isolate the shimy. Have you heard this at all.?

    Expedition Vibrates like an unbalanced wheel

    What?? Death Wobble..Can you elaborate. I can do the above. Would a four wheel alignment solve this? It is just a shimmy shake nothing vigorous but annoying and only at 60+ or higher speeds. Elaborate if you could as the name death wobble implies imminent disaster...lol

    Expedition Vibrates like an unbalanced wheel

    Well I am back. I went ahead and wrote the check (urgh...) and had some much needed work I was going to do on my own but it is too cold in Ohio. I had all control arms replaced and the drive side upper and lower replaced plus a very worn knuckle in the rear. Had the CV pulled and inspected...

    Expedition Vibrates like an unbalanced wheel

    Thanks for the reply. Make sense as I have a clicking knocking noise sometimes on turning and the vibration seems to come and go slightly. I thought maybe a loose tire pressure sensor but now that I look up some symptoms I think I meet all the criteria. I will be under the truck tomorrow...

    Expedition Vibrates like an unbalanced wheel

    Here is an issue that I cannot figure out. My 07 Ford Exp EL at speeds from 55-80 vibrates just like one wheel is out of balance. I have Bridgestone Tires that are fairly new (50% wear left). I have had three independent tires centers balance these tires some more than once and confirm they...
