    Fuel gauge issue

    2008 EL. Needle on the gauge is always showing the same 1/2 full tank... and has for the last year. The needle doesn't move. However, the Distance to Empty on the trip computer is accurate. What would cause the sender to show accurate DTE on the info screen but not send signal to the gauge?

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    My 2008 Expedition EL King Ranch is having a difficult time idling and is throwing codes indicating it needs a timing job. Backstory: I bought this truck sight unseen from across the country last November for $12,000. It had been advertised as clean title and only 106,000 miles. I had someone...

    Electric fan conversion?

    I know 2010+ expeditions and F150 came OEM with dual electric fans, my '08 is the old mechanical fan setup. The clutch is going out, and I am about to replace the serpentine, tensioner, and all pulleys.... while I'm in there I want to do an electric fan conversion. I can use a cheapo...

    ‘08 5.4 fuel pressure regulator hose?

    Looking under the hood today I noticed the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator is split at the back near the firewall. Does anyone have the part number for this line? How difficult to replace?

    New problem: smoke from passenger side

    Looks like I’m dripping oil onto the exhaust, can see it through the passenger side wheel well. Valve cover gasket, or could there be another culprit on an ‘09 5.4?

    2008 - camera from rear-view to head unit?

    My replacement head unit has a camera-in feature with wires for reverse and camera. Being an '08, my truck has the camera in the rearview and not in the dash. Does anyone know which wires and/or where would need to be tapped/spliced to get the reverse and camera feed to the from the headliner...

    And something just let go in my engine.

    How bad is this? Did the 08 still have plug blowout issues? https://youtu.be/EkVpF2N1FNc

    Seat interchange?

    My 2008 has 315k miles on it and the seat foam is completely shot, hard as a rock and completely flat. Looking online in appears that replacement foam for 07-08 is the same, but 10-15 is different and won’t cross reference. Also, it doesn’t appear there’s any aftermarket options for the 07/08...

    Aftermarket bumpers?

    Reman/crate motor vs timing job?

    Reman engines are going for about the same cost as a dealer timing job on the 5.4’s What are the pros and cons of doing a reman engine vs just having a timing job done?

    This doesn’t look good

    Forscan pull from this morning: Is there any chance at all this DOESNT need a timing job? There’s no clang/knock/rattle at all…

    Prerunner bumper?

    Do the f150 prerunner bumpers work on the expedition? Specifically wondering about the 04-08 f150 bumpers that only replace the lower portion.

    6r75 bulkhead connector?

    two weeks ago I did a transmission filter and fluid fill on my 08 with a 6r75. When I dropped the pan I noticed the fluid level was already low, no waterfall of atf. Drove for a week and was fine. Left for vacation for six days, and came home to a puddle of atf underneath. Did the 6r75...

    efan conversion?

    Has anyone here completed an efan conversion? I would love to free up the space under the hood and get rid of some of that parasitic loss from the mechanical fan. If so, how did you wire it and how did our ecu handle the change?

    Steering wheel removal/swap questions

    Looking to pull a junkyard steering wheel to drop into my 2008 KR (top leather is trashed on mine). Does any year 07-17 Expedition wheel bolt on, or am I limited to certain years? Do I need to swap the clock spring to match the wheel? What is the main nut size, or is it a torx? Would a wheel...

    Transmission Filter?

    2008 EL, I'm assuming its still the 6r75 and not the 6r80... I have seen three different part numbers for the trans filter listed. Does anyone know the difference between the FT171 versus the FT188 filters? Are they interchangeable/successor pn, or are they different filters altogether?

    2008 - electrical issues

    Wipers work… washers don’t. When pushing the stalk for the washer, a click can be heard by the fuse box in the passenger footwell. Horn doesn’t work. When pushing the horn, a click can be heard by the fuse box in the passenger footwell. Heated seats flash for a second, don’t turn on. Cooling...

    6r75 pan the same as 6r80?

    Wanting to switch to a transmission pan with built-in drain. Dorman makes a pan for the 6r80, but nothing listed for the 6r75. I think I read they are the same case and can share the same pan/gasket (only difference being internals), can anyone confirm?

    No washers, but wipers work

    When I press the washer stalk, I hear an audible click and the wipers do their thing, but nothing comes out of the jets front or rear. Is the fuse for the pump separate from the fuse for the wipers? Common issue? (Yes, it has fluid)

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    Just bought a 2008 EL King Ranch with only 100,000 miles! Or did I… Based on that timeline, this thing likely has 300-400k miles. It’s REMARKABLY solid given the mileage. Let this be a lesson to always get a carfax. ‍♂️

    New member introduction

    New to the forum and new to Fords. Recently acquired a 2008 EL King Ranch. Only 105k showing on the ODO, 3”lift, but it’s clearly led a hard life up till now and has multiple questionable repairs. Hoping to get everything ironed out to bring it back to great condition.

    What’s this sensor?

    I recently picked up a 2008 Expedition EL that has some…quirks. It definitely had a prior front end accident, and was rebuilt at home by someone lacking proper skills. Over the weekend I found this sensor hanging loose, between the radiator and grill, front passenger side. What is it, and...
