    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    Mine had no problem starting with the A/C compressor seized, drug the belt right around the stuck pulley like it was turning except for the burning rubber smell and smoke coming off that pulley where the belt was dragging on it.

    My Little Build - 2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, Heavy Towing Package 4x4

    Im not sure where you saw that? Come again? Do you want to explain what you have, and what your trying to do there? OK i did some reference, and you must have a 03 or 04 Expedition if you have a 4R70W, and you may not realize it, but it is quite different from my 2005. both 5.4, but not the...

    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    Im still on the factory motor, alternator, power steering pump, and probably a few other bits at 214,000 I just had to have the A/C gone over, compressor seized and confetti'd the system, its all good now tho. I bought it with a blown OD in the trans for 2500, so that cost me 1300 installed(i...

    2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up

    That sounds 10 kinds of fishy to me as well, I had a ford dealer tell me that my 2007 mustang gt needed the following after it went into limp mode out of the blue after driving some mountains. ECM Throttle Body 2 Cam Sensors Crank Sensor Partial Harness Several Pigtails new throttle pedal and a...

This one goes offroad a lot, woods, lakes...

    "New" 05 Expy update

    Gen 3s seem noticably peppier as i have an 05 and an 09, the transmission in the 07+ is much better geared and makes better use of the 5.4 3V engines torque curve, and thus also gets a bit better mileage.

    "HD" tow package 2005 Eddie Bauer

    Excursion != Expedition(does not equal), two different Transmissions, two very different load capacities, power ratings, and expected duties. Excursion likely has a 4R100 if its gas which is on average built for 1000 lbs of torque peak, and is heavier and larger when compared side by side...

    "HD" tow package 2005 Eddie Bauer

    Towing with the 03-06 with significant load, especially on hills, with OD turned on is a bad idea, over time it will blow out OD and you will be looking at a decent bill to replace the OD Band in the transmission. I bound mine from someone who did it, after AAMCO quoted him 3k+ to fix it which...

    A Dying Breed

    With the 2V or 3V V10s tho, the 2V was a good at dragging things, but was over all sluggish, the 3V which are kinda hard to find on the other hand seemed to be torque hoppers.

    A Dying Breed

    One idea i had was to score a F-250 from 2010 with the 3V V10, very basic without all the fancy features that make the harnesses complicated, and then have the cab of an excursion swapped over, i believe they are very closely compatible shape wise, and obviously retain the dash and equipment of...

    Another tow mirror thread!

    You can find the trail ridge ones on amazon buddy, you just need to search by part number as they are not well listed by keyword

    She is gone...

    That only gives me the 03, because that year had numerous mirror combinations depending on trim levels, plus he lists another expedition in his signature so i was making my question more thorough.

    She is gone...

    Which exact part number are they so i can see if they will match up to my 2009 Expedition which has heated, memory, turn signal, but manual fold. Also what expedition year/model did they come off of so i know if i would need to re-pin the connectors per the instructions, since 03-06 and 07-12...

    A Dying Breed

    one thing i would like to do, if it turns out to be true that is. Ford is contemplating releasing a new Ford Excursion model for late 2020/2021, and if they do, i will be eagle eyed to find one the following year so i get it cheaper, when i bought the first expedition, i was actually targetting...

    2017 expy EL king ranch towing mirrors

    I think if anything catastrophic happens to my 2005, i will likely snag a 2009-2012, so i still get a V8, and swap over all my gear, roof lights, tow mirrors, etc, and if that ever happens, i think i would definitely get one of these bumpers instead, with a brush guard built onto it.

    A Dying Breed

    Hallelujah, speak it brother! Same reason my family rolls in one, and so do I in my own. And both of them now have Police version push bumper/brush guards with 6 point mounts directly to the frame, effectively a cattle catcher. Never know when you need to take an impact to the front, or push...

    A Dying Breed

    Lookup the dynosheets for the mustang 2.3 eco, i have out of curiosity, that peak 300+ HP they promise you doesn't come in until 5800 RPM, and your hard pressed to even get 200ish until 3800-4000... Your torque finds you at 2800 RPM and then drops off significantly after 4000 RPM because the...

    A Dying Breed

    my point was, those high power numbers are so high in the RPM band, you very rarely use them, and when you do, you are revving the piss out of the engine to get it. Also lets not detract from the other reason for that fuel economy that had ZERO to do with the displacement and turbos, and more...

    Belt sound with A/C or steering input?

    Also take a square, or something solid with a good long straight edge on it, and make sure all the pulleys are the same alignment, as in, none of them are sticking forward a little to much or backwards, one time i had one get a metal spur behind it, and even after tightened down it stuck out...

    A Dying Breed

    (Fast | Reliable | Cheap) HINT: You can only have 2 of these options, never all 3. (Small Displacement | Big Power | High Reliability) HINT: The same rule above applies here too! Funny story, a co-worker had and recently sold a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost. He claimed he sold it because he needed...
