I didn't notice any additional oil consumption when I tow. I think 3 quarts low is a lot. You should check
your oil every 500 to 1000 miles and fill it back up when necessary. Towing with low oil is never a good thing. I would also check to make sure your not leaking oil from somewhere...
Hi Andy, you have help me on this forum and I was hoping I could ask a few more questions.
What is the process for following a thread, a forum or a person? Thanks, John
I'm not familiar with Michelin 10 ply tires inflated to 80 lbs but I would think they are going to ride very very hard. The expo doesn't have a soft ride to begin with. I would make sure to get more info and try the tires if possible before buying. Your wife's rump could get awfully sore and...
I would check the rocker panels and radiator core support for rust. These parts are prone to rust. Also check the hood and deck for lifting paint. That being said if it check out mechanically you may want to buy it. They are good vehicles.
Hi, Underdog66 if you don't mind keep me posted on your progress on the rockers. I have an 03 Eddie Bauer with 115000 miles and the rocker problem. Thanks
Thanks Andy, I didn't know that was the norm. I wouldn't mind giving it a try but that's a long way to drive, I live in CT. I'm originally from Throop, PA and moved to CT in 1978. Small World.
Your lucky you didn't get a few speeding tickets. 83 mph for 300 miles is amazing. In the northeast you probably couldn't get 20 miles without being pulled over. Are Texans lucky or the cops just don't care about speed?
I've read that you can get away with not replacing the radiator support until the fan starts hitting the back of the radiator. Any opinions?
Has anyone tried using home made brackets to support the radiator of an expedition?
In the old days they use to call this fill the oil and check the gas. LOL
How many people remember when the gas station attendants actually checked your oil?
I have a similar problem on a 2003 Expedition EB. I haven't done anything with it yet. There is a video on facebook showing brackets a guy made and had welded in. It's been a couple of years and it's still holding.
It's listed under: How to fix and repair a radiator support mount. Hope it...
I would follow Chrisolfdoc advice. Fix obvious leaks,etc but I wouldn't put money into repairing the engine. It will get very expensive. How many miles is it driven before you add the oil?
I get 10 -12 in the city and 15 -17 on the highway with an 03 Expedition 5.4 EB. Your not doing all that bad. These are heavy vehicles, high off the ground and use a lot of gas. You might try going easy on the pedal when in 1st and 2nd gear and building speed slowly.
I recently bought a 13...
