    Bulletproof???

    To OP, I have a 2008 Expy with 223K+ OG miles on it you should get it thoroughly checked by a mechanic (don't go to the dealership they will pillage your wallet), and get your Expy computer scanned to find if there are any other things that need to be replaced.

    2014 Limited 5.4 3 V Plugs question

    You can also use Mopar Engine Degreaser, spray the plugs and soak them overnight. They'll come out far easier without breakage. I have a 2008 Expy with the V8/3v, and 220K+ miles it's basically all stock except the air filter. Try not to go to the dealership they are there to rape your...

    MY 08 EL EDDIE BAUER SUSPENSION IS STIFF AS A BOARD - REPLACED WITH STANDARD ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO

    To the OP: I have an 08 Expy Limited (not an EL), mostly stock with minimal upgrades. I changed all 4 of my strut assembly to Moog (4, @$725.00 | installation: $800.00 | total: $1,525.00), then OEM at around 200K miles. If you are getting a harsh ride than that smooth ride that Expy's are...

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    tommyddsr.... I got tired of researching for polyurethane body mounts for the Expedition, but they are out there. As for today there is no company besides Ford and Dorman that produces Expy OEM body mounts. They sell polyurethane body mounts for the F150 as they are the same fittings as...

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    Tommyddsr... Don't know about Naumoff if he installed his or not, as for mine I got my mechanic to install them. It took 7 hours to install them basically an entire day. I changed only the belly (4), and not the entire set (8), it made a huge difference it was like night and day from cavity...

    If You Could Check One DREAM Option...

    It must be great to have twin twirling turbo's on the new Expy's but, you'd actually have to baby the engine. That's a lot of moving parts in the engine bay, for performance and durability and if they had the option I'd purchase the new Expy MAX if they had the 7.2L diesel in them.

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    Naumoff If it's for the Expy and the cage nut has spun you're going to be digging into your upholstery. Replacing the 4 under your belly depends on if your cage nut doesn't spin, replacing all the bushings that's a huge job. The ones that are on the belly the front ones are located between...
