How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

[tennford]

I change oil after every trip. 5-7000 miles per trip. I do it myself. Motorcraft oil filters and Valvoline 5w30 full synthetic. Change fuel pumps every Christmas so that doesn’t happen on the road.

Replaced a couple alternators and AC compressors and that’s it. Never even put a water pump on either one.

Sounds like the rear blend door motor is in need of replacement.

2004 XLT / 5.4L (2 valve) / 3.73 Rear Axle Ratio / (4X4 w/AdvanceTrac) / Heavy Duty Towing / Dual Air-Conditioning
Mileage: 388,703
These vehicles will last several years as long as their required maintenance is kept up (i.e., engine & transmission oil & filter changes, engine coolant change, etc).

Typically, they just need wear and tear items changed out (i.e., tires, wipers, battery, etc). ​

If you keep up their maintenance they will easily give you 25 plus years of good service.
I greatly enjoy using this vehicle because it has rear independent suspension, it is safe, it can comfortably seat up to 8 adults, it can easily go off-road and it can tow more than 6,000 pounds and I am saving the monthly payments of a new Expedition.
I expect my 2004 XLT to go beyond 500,000 miles before it retires.

wow! I'm very encouraged to hear that. I bought an 04 police package last year with just under 100k on it; it sounds identical to yours but for the advance track - mine has an LSD in the rear. It was a county truck until then, so it's gotten fairly regular maintenance. I did have to do a bit of work on it - brakes, front UCA, some wiring, vacuum controls, etc. I intend to upgrade it with slightly taller tires (34") and an SCT tuner, followed eventually by better suspension components, such as Bilsteins; then shorty headers (true duals - it's got duals all the way back to the muffler now; I assume that's part of the police package) and such. Most of what i have planned for it focuses on durability, range, etc.
your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

update - the front suspension has been repaired with HD moog components, the wiring and vacuum issues are resolved, the larger tires are installed (33.8") Nittos, the brakes are fixed, I got the tuner (reviews posted elsewhere; generally a waste of money so far in large part of because of awful factory support.)
more to follow.
