    Shocks question

    i'm running KYB's on mine and i love the ride. not harsh, handling and body roll are well taken care of. the words floaty never come to mind. in fact i just bought a set of KYBs for my explorer since i was happy with them on the expedition.

    Memorial Day mpg. Satisfied!

    i just love explorers, they are nimble, reliable(V8 version), alot more room then any jeep inside, better mpg, fun to drive...list goes on. my obsession with them stems from my childhood and my first truck was a '96. i will always have a 2nd gen explorer.

    Memorial Day mpg. Satisfied!

    EX is such a vague term for me since i own and explorer,expedition and excursion LOL the first gen expeditions have two different size tanks for 2wd vs 4x4 i guess. 4x4 = 30 gallon tank 2wd = 28 gallon tank if the question was about a Excursion, they all have 44 gallon tanks.

    How many miles do you have on your Gen 1?

    i bought my 1998 XLT 5.4 4x4 in August 2010 with 63,000 miles on her. as of 5/28/13 it has 89,655 miles. has to be one of the most reliable,dependable trucks i have ever owned. i love it to death. i will be sad when she passes the 100k mark though!

    Might Trade the expy?

    all 4x4 2000-2005 excursions used leaf springs all around. all 2WD's had coil front springs.

    Barn Doors on the Expy?

    absolutely no way. fun fact the whole rear of the excursion is fiberglass, both barn doors and flip up hatch/window section.

    Might Trade the expy?

    like death wobble? no, you dont hear of it much with leaf spring trucks(all 4x4 excursions use leaf springs all around) the 05-up super dutys have had issues with this in the past. i dont know anyone personally that has had the issue. all i've had to do is ball joints in my old 2004...

    Might Trade the expy?

    yes the excursion is a super duty based truck. it actually sits on a modified f-250 regular cab 137" wheel base frame. the changes are mostly in the rear for the 44 gallon fuel tank and third row seating/cargo area.

    Might Trade the expy?

    yeah the 7.3s hold value like crazy. even the 6.0s are not cheap. personally i have no want and secondly no need for a diesel. the huge price point over the V10, extra maintenance cost, higher repair costs, cold weather issues made the gasser a no brainer and i've been so very happy with the...

    Low MpG's

    i've seen 15.9-18 on the highway w/my 98. hell if my '02 V10 4x4 excursion can do 14.5mpg on the highway a 2nd gen expy should be able to hit a few clicks above that.

    Might Trade the expy?

    yup i own both, personally thats the best way to have it. but i know thats not a option for many. i have owned 3 V10 4x4 excursions all with 3:73 gearing(sadly) they are wonderful trucks!!! the V10 is very reliable, its basically just a 5.4 with 2 more cylinders. i have been daily driving a...

    Auto headlights on... milage and stereo displays off.

    glad it was an easy fix!

    How to adjust brake/shifter interlock?

    other thing to check is if the brake lights are activating when its stuck in park. this is the issue with the older expeditions(ask me how i know)

    Auto headlights on... milage and stereo displays off.

    i'm betting the dimmer switch got rolled all the way down, so when the lights come on you cant see the display.

    A good reason to love the big truck..

    glad your ok! thats exactly how my old excursion was totaled. Subaru tried to turn left infront of me. we hit at 35mph head on. totaled my excursion and her 2010 forester.
