Choosing a good exhaust system
Looking underneath my truck right now though it looks to have 4 O2 sensors and only 2 cats... Up near the flange to connects to the manifold it has an O2 sensor on each side then further back it has 2 cats (one on each side) and those have O2 sensors plugging into them.. Maybe it isn't actually...- Gruz7

Choosing a good exhaust system
Hi guys, Figured I'd just start a new thread on this. I'm trying to build/buy a new exhaust for my 2006 5.4 3v. I had a magnaflow catback with stock cats and headers on my previous 03 and it sounded pretty good. I'm looking to probably get the same magnaflow catback for my 06 but after that...- Gruz7

Heavyweight oil or adding Lucas to the oil will really only mask the issue it gets rid of the noise but not the problem basically.. But good luck brother! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

VCT solenoids and a full synthetic oil change helped mine A LOT I would total recommend that to anyone thinking they're having phaser troubles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

Fuel Filter Tool Size? 07+
I am pretty certain that any auto parts store will have on that is mostly universal for almost all Fords... Basically just tell them what you drive and they'll have the right product for you and they're only like $6 nothing special... I'd tell you the size of ours but it doesn't say it on it, my...- Gruz7

What did you do to the expy today
VCTs weren't too bad in mine but it was running like serious crap I think my main issue was that only 2 quarts of oil going through the motor dried out my VCTs and they couldn't work properly but, it is definitely a repair or PM I recommend. When the do go bad I have heard, first-hand, how bad...- Gruz7

What did you do to the expy today
Expy has been sitting for almost 3 weeks now as I've been able to take my work van home... Feels pretty good keeping miles off it and it still runs great with the new repairs and oil... Will be hopefully getting it out for real this weekend for some actual mileage Sent from my iPhone using...- Gruz7

What is the best oil to put in the 5.4L 3v
You might be right, I'm not really sure about it personally but I am really digging this Mobil 1 it feels great I'll be driving it over 300-400 miles this weekend for the first time since I had the VCT issues so I'm sure I'll be able to speculate a bit more after that Sent from my iPhone using...- Gruz7

Hey nbpace, Yes you are correct no phaser on the 2003-2004 Expeditions. Think it's like a EGR system or something I don't really know but you won't have the chain/phaser issues on the 2V 5.4L Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

Motorcraft brand... Got them on eBay for around $130 and they also came with the seals. Very well rated seller so nothing to worry about. I'll attach a link https://www.ebay.com/itm/131755289150 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition
Wow that's pretty awesome to see a Expy towing that much! You pics make me wonder how my 06 would look towing 6300lbs with the leveling kit that's on it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

What is the best oil to put in the 5.4L 3v
I may give either Amsoil or Royal Purple a try at the time of my next change although so far the Mobil 1 is feeling great! I will say though that I will never be putting conventional oil in the Expy ever again that stuff burns like sawdust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Gruz7

Well guys sorry for posting so late (those of you in EST). I finished the VCT solenoids this afternoon and checked oil levels and it appears we are good to go! The Expy is running smooth and is holding proper oil pressure again. The old VCT solenoids were really not that bad at all and IMO...- Gruz7

In my opinion they seem to be able the same from the amount of research I've been doing lately. Personally (although more expensive) I'm going to go with the Mobil 1 full synthetic with synthetic filters on my 2006 from now on it already seems to have made the expy tin stronger and my buddy...- Gruz7
