    My 2014 is now lifted!

    I did 275-60r20. Pirelli all terrain. Not a E load tire as most aggressive tread tires are. And it still rides like stock. And not loud at all.

    1 year or 5k miles. Full synthetic. 5-30 is what I do in mine. Get a sticker from any parts store. They usually have them.

    Exhaust for 2nd Gen

    Magnaflow is the best way. I have one on my 05, and 2010 expo's. 4x7x14 2.5" in/out in my 05... its loud. but not obnoxious. I put a 5x8x18. 3" in/out on my wifes 2010. That one is a deeper tone. and quieter. 0 drone either way.. flowmaster is horrible for droans in the 5.4. sounded great...

    05 expo transmission woes and questions

    Just an update I followed this video. 2-3 shift is a little firm. But I put in softer springs for the 1-2-2-3 Accumulators from a shift kit I bought but I didn’t use. I wasn’t about to drill the valve body case. I also installed a new pressure regulator valve and updated torque converter...

    05 expo transmission woes and questions

    I’m rebuilding my transmission in my 05. Reverse band burnt out from backing up my manure trailer up a hill. 180k miles. First time out. My 1-2 shift was kinda sluggish but not horrible. I took out one of the 1-2 accumulator springs. I ordered a rebuild kit and got a shift Correction kit from...

    Power Running boards. I did a thing

    Soo after replacing one of my wife’s running board motors last year. And it seizing up. Again. And the other side. Going so slow. I did a thing. Let’s see how long it lasts now. Both are working great!! I also cleaned and lubed all the other pivots.

    06 EB clunking on mild acceleration

    Check the vacuum lines to your front axle locks. Could have a mild leak causing them to lock up when engine vacuum is low. Would be more of a grinding noise but check it all the same

    Cheep struts!!! Motorcraft. Rockauto

    I put a set of ranchos in my wife’s expo. That I took out. Horrible. I’ve used cheepo shocks in other cars like Subarus and alike. The kybs I put in my uncles jeep were too soft for me. These seem like factory ride replacements. Not too hard not too soft. Like oem. Aftermarket can be close. But...

    Cheep struts!!! Motorcraft. Rockauto

    Shocks have the part numbers Ground off where the oem tags are . Came in motorcraft boxes. Maybe a lower line parts. But for a 05 with 180k I have. I didn’t care. Will be the last set it gets. From me anyway. Look the same as the factory ones it came with. And it rides perfect.

    Im trying to lift my expedition

    Do not use anything over 3”. Even at that. The axle bind is too much unless you drop down the front diff. Or get newer axles that can flex more. This is what I used on lifting my expo. And it sits perfectly now. Even better now with the new struts all around.

    2010 theft light will not start

    My wife’s 2010 will not start with the key randomly. Both keys we have do the same. Theft light flashes. It will start with the remote start factory setup. Thoughts on this?? thanks!!!

    Replacing Rear Axle

    I would step up the tire to a c or d load range. Most likely you have a p load on there. The stiffer side wall will help out more.

    Can I tow this?

    Personal opinion here. Don’t tow anything over 27ft with a half ton truck. Or 30ft with a 3/4. Duley is needed anything over 30 for proper stability. You May say I’ll be save and keep it slow. But we all know people don’t. Lol.

    03 4.6 hi-temp/low oil light and no pressure

    Check the timing chain tensioners. The seals blow out and cause loss of oil pressure. I did them in both my 05 expo. And my 2010. Problem being if it ran too long with low oil pressure it damages the cam bearings. If you do them. A full timing setup and guides. And high volume oil pump. Should...

    lifted my truck

    only had to grind off about 1/4" of the wheel studs to clear the spacers. so no loss in support of the wheels. I do have a slight vibration now after the wheel spacers, im gonna take the wheels off and retorque the spacers and see if it goes away.
