182,000 on an ‘04 EB RWD, and still running. Bought with 80K already on it.

I’ve had to replace the brake booster, intake manifold (stupid cracked plastic), spark plugs and coil packs w/ manifold, serpentine belt, AC compressor (found it it was a bad purge valve afterwards), fuse box, fuel pump, heater control valve (twice), heater core inlet hose (pain in the ass), power steering reservoir, 1st O2 sensor passenger side.

Future plans include: a big 3 upgrade with 4 gauge wiring to improve overall electrical current. Upgrade stereo to be apple compatible. Radiator and heat core flush. Electrical fans (don’t like the sound of the clutch fan or parasitic drag). Possibly the Gen-3 rear wiper upgrade.

As I've shared in earlier posts, my '03 Expedition is about to hit 200,000 miles. I bought it new in '02 and it's been the best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. It's been well maintained mechanically and I'm planning to keep it. I'm cleaning it up cosmetically now and am probably going to invest in new tires and shocks soon. But at some point, one has to wonder what the 2nd Gen's life expectancy is and therefore how much money should I invest in it.

So, I'm curious how many miles have other 2nd Gen owners have racked up on their Expeditions?

205K miles +/-. Biggest issue is electric systems. It seems there are lots of those in this vehicle and I am starting to have problems with many of them. My car has always been garaged, babied, etc. etc. so it is in pretty nice shape for its age. Next week it is going to the dealer to get new rotors and pucks installed (previous owner left a NAPA set with the car) and have the brake lines flushed and fluid replaced. At 80 years old I don't do much mechanical work anymore, especially on such a new style to me vehicle as this one. My next car should be a 1949 Chevy (or Ford) with a "three on the tree" and a straight 6 motor! I can open the hood and identify all the parts!

1st Gen, 335,000 since ‘02. Only major thing I did on the engine was the intake manifold other than that besides regular maintenance I have never had any problems with my motor before I replaced it last year with a brand new one.
