    Expy died with no warning and then revived itself. Thoughts?

    Hi all, Yesterday on my way to a job site, after a 45 min drive, 20 of it in stop and go traffic, I just got off the highway and started up a slight incline when the Expy shut down. No power, revs to 0, Red Check Gauge light came on, Oil Pressure was at Zero (!), still had electrical power...

    5.4 vs 4.6.. thoughts and impressions

    Not to beat this dead horse too bad... :) I see this issue come up often, and now that I have owned and daily driven both I have a few thoughts on this for those considering a 4.6 or 5.4 2V Triton. Power: 5.4 wins hands down. I noticed the difference immediately when test driving the 4.6 Expy...

    New to me 2004 Expedition maintenance?

    Hello team, I picked up an high mileage (248k) 04 XLT 4WD 4.6L back in August for a real good price. Not in the best shape but the frame, motor, and drivetrain were solid. Have driven it daily to 10k (now 259k), enough to know it's fairly reliable and have decided to hold on to it. I've done...

    5.4l Coolant Manifold crossover leak

    The other day I was headed to work and the ol expy started to hesitate a bit at highway speeds. Didn't think much of it, I was low on gas so maybe some bad gas or something. On the way home I put in a few bucks but the problem got worse, no time to work on it so let it go. Next day I took it to...

    5.4 3V Engine Timing Chain Replacement walkthrough video

    I found a used Expedition that needs a timing chain replacement. Having replaced chains and belts on 4 cylinder engines before, I began to dig around to see what I could be getting myself into on this vehicle, should I buy it. Ran across this entire video series on replacing a timing chain for...

    Buy this 07 Expy with a bad timing chain?

    I found an '07 Expy that looks very good. No frame rust, all electronics works, new brakes, good transmission, new battery, no visible leaks, good tires, etc. HOWEVER.. the owner says that it has a bad timing chain. He says it started shaking and acted like is was going to stall out, he shut it...

    Anyone repair their frame or am I boned pt2?

    I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I anyone recalls (or cares) I bought a completely trashed 03 Expy earlier in the year (Read Part 1 Here ). Thought it was good just needing a few repairs but literally EVERYTHING was bad on it, except the interior which was quite nice. Sold it for scrap and...

    What is this vacuum system part?

    All, Found this part on my 04 5.4L V8 dry rotted and audibly sucking air. Definitely causing some issues because when I was moving it about to find out the source of a hissing noise, it caused all kinds of idling jumps. Wrapped with duct tape for a temporary fix but will need a permanent...

    2004 4WD Wheel hubs not disengaging.. ever

    I have been tracking down a problem with front end "growl" and clicking noises since I purchased my 04 XLT 4WD in July. Was told by the PO that he was told by a tech that it needed a new front diff. I was skeptical since there wasn't a lot of vibration or clunking in the front end and it went...

    New to me 04 XLT or glutten for punishment

    Ok well I guess 3rd time is a charm. I've had a love/hate relationship with an 08 Exp but I've found that they really fit my family's lifestyle. So after totalling #1 avoiding a deer and striking out on #2 (read the sad sorrid tale here: Never trust OfferUp listings), I finally found a local 04...

    Project 2nd Gen Expy - NOPE, I’m boned

    Long time owner first time poster

    Hi there from Northern VA! Long time Expedition owner, first time forum member. Had an 08 Ltd for about 10 years until a run in with a deer and a guard rail did her in. Wanted another one ever since and just picked up an '03 XLT that I have some big plans for. The Limited was more of a grocery...
