Stuck ignition- cold temps
Good morning, I walked out to start my 04 XLT 5.4 2v this morning and noticed the ignition would not budge. The key would go in but no luck getting it to turn. It is a pretty cold morning here in Indiana, with a wind chill below zero. I am sure this has something to do with it. The wheel moved...- csanch40

Odor backing up trailer- Transmission?
It's an 04 with 154k. Fluid is bright red and looks full. The next time I have trailer hooked up and I get a burning smell I will try to hunt it down.- csanch40

Odor backing up trailer- Transmission?
This weekend I noticed an odor when backing up a small trailer. I'm not the most experienced so it took me a few cracks to get the trailer in the driveway. My first and more cynical guess is that I heated the tranny up from the multiple attempts. I've read about fluid "puking" before in these...- csanch40

How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?
04 XLT 5.4 2v 4WD I have 154k now. Bought with 149k. Replaced brakes and rotors. Replaced the pinion seal. Replaced Vacuum lines and intake manifold. I knew about most of these when I bought her, so I'm hoping to make it to 200k relatively repair free.- csanch40

Intake Manifold -5.4L 2v
Well.... I am finally getting my intake manifold replaced. I bought my 04 last April with 150k and it had a small coolant leak from the crossover on the manifold. The leak has been mitigated by using some coolant tabs. However, I am getting lean codes. The first time I got the codes, I replaced...- csanch40

P1071 and P1074 with rough Idle and stall
Good morning, I have an '04 XLT with the 5.4 2v. I recently got the P1071 and P1074 lean codes and a few days ago noticed a rough idle and eventual stall if left at idle. About 6 months ago, I had a diagnosed coolant leak from the intake manifold. I ran some stop leak and that took care of...- csanch40

Yeah I'm actually in a little under the 3.5k when you factor in price before tax, title, and license. That fact is really keeping me sane right now considering that I could have paid what they wanted. So fair to say we are all breaking a little even here. You are absolutely right. These cars...- csanch40

Hey Aspen03, Glad the BMV was easy. I guess that makes sense though. A little update. Like I thought the shop came back and I definitely needed the brakes and pinion seal done. They also came back and said that the valve gaskets were not the problem, but an intake manifold leak of coolant was...- csanch40

Hey Aspen03, Thanks for your reply! I'm up in West Lafayette and I did buy it at the big Brownsburg Bill Estes Ford lot. They had a good dealer markup on this one, I'm assuming for the low mileage and very clean interior. However, it does have a good dent on the driver fender. Knowing this...- csanch40

What's up Expedition Forum, I just picked up my used '04 Expedition XLT after a pretty long search for a second vehicle for camping trips and tailgating. I had looked at several tahoes, suburbans, and expeditions and settled on the expedition because on a vehicle to vehicle comparison, it by...- csanch40
