    New to forum--need replacement headlights

    Absolutely do not use "quick splices" ever anywhere, should not even be on the market. They are complete junk and not water tight!

    300k miles Any recommendations for maintenance

    Good luck with getting the MPG numbers up from 13....my 2004 & 2006 with the 5.4 got maybe 13 down hill with the wind pushing it on a good day. Average was 11-12.

    Upfitter Switches

    I do vehicle communications and lighting as a professional, I would look at installing a switch panel inside the center console if you want to preserve the factory look and be stealthy.

    Upfitter Switches

    I put a mini toggle switch in the lower plastic panel which would be just to the side of the driver's right knee for the emergency lighting on the vehicle. Can't see it but know it's there and very easy to control.

    LT Tires

    Seems like a lot of folks like a LT tire not designed for an SUV let alone the Expedition but for a light truck. I tried them for a couple of days and got rid of them. If I wanted the harsh ride of a pickup, I would drive a pickup. The proper OEM size tire tire can be aired up to 44psi to give...

    How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

    You will, I have the same truck with just over 200k. Keep the 5-20 oil clean and change the spark plugs if it wasn't done at least 50k miles ago. Change the tranny and transfer case oil too.

    Drivers Power Seat Won’t Move Forward

    My '04 sticks sometimes if you send the seat all the way to the back. The trick we learned is send it back, then bump it a head a tad and it never hangs up.

    battery drained in 3 days

    You might be able to save the battery if you put a decent battery charger on it for a few days. Jumping it and running the engine will not charge a battery. I'm a dealer for Interstate and you would not believe the customer cores I have running in my stuff for years. Yes some are truly shot, but...

    Catch Can!

    Hmmm. Sounds like the can maybe of a simple design and not condensing the oil and water vapor as it should. The can only goes on the PCV suction hose. The other side is filtered fresh air sucking in and a can on that hose would do absolutely nothing. We used cans on NA muscle cars back in the...

    Catch Can!

    I don't have any issues with freezing just that the can captures more moisture in the winter than summer. So I cheek and drain every 500 miles where in the summer every 1500.

    2007 Expedition Spark Plugs

    The fuel line on the plug trick is for threading the plug back in without cross threading it.....works on a lot of hard to get at engines including outboards....thread a plug in with a socket and you can't feel it. But hey it's your heads....

    2008 Expedition and Marvel Mystery Oil

    This is spot on, I had 230,000 on my 06 5.4 when I sold it. Yeah the 3 valve sucks but with the proper care problems can be avoided.

    2008 Expedition and Marvel Mystery Oil

    I don't care is it's 100% rat pee, I have good results with it and fixed quite few fuel system problems and one noisy valve lifter with it.

    2008 Expedition and Marvel Mystery Oil

    I run MMO in the fuel. If you stick with 3K oil changes you don't need any oil additives or worry about gunk building up in the engine.

    What are the most common reasons?

    Chain dragging noise? That would be the transfer case and the chain inside let go....Time for a new transfer case.
