    How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

    '03 EB 5.4 4x4 - 158,600. Great vehicle, bought new, so glad we got it nearly 18 years ago. The only issues we've had: (1) needed to replace driver's window regulator twice -- first replacement purchased was Dorman, it lasted less than a year, second replacement was Motorcraft and it's going...

    Installation of New AC Compressor & Components

    As of now, I'm planning to give this a shot myself. I'm not 100% there but definitely leaning in that direction. If I screw it up, it's totally on me - and I'm okay with that. Please know that this Expedition forum has been very helpful to me. Perhaps the most challenging aspect of this job is...

    Installation of New AC Compressor & Components

    Thanks for the info, TomB. And thanks, too, 91Fox, for sharing your thoughts regarding a/c components. The main reason why I am planning to buy Motorcraft is because a few years ago I replaced my window regulator and went with a non-OEM part. I purchased Dorman, and it lasted just 13 months. But...

Per the manual (and thanks TomB985), it's not necessary to replace the other components since it was...

    Installation of New AC Compressor & Components

    Access is tight, really tight, and I'm not sure how it's going to come out but I'd like to give it a shot. As for tools, I'm good, I even bought a vacuum pump and manifold gauges but left them unopened in case I decide not to do this. Another issue that's somewhat bugging me is evacuation of the...

    Installation of New AC Compressor & Components

    Hello forum. My 2003 EB 5.4 4x4 (I'm orig owner) needs a new compressor, I'm hopeful the forum can give me some guidance. In addition to the compressor, I'm going to switch out condenser, drier-receiver & expansion valve. I plan to buy Motorcraft. I'm not experienced but have changed brake...
