I bought the expedition 3.5 yrs ago with 100k miles on it. For the most part it has been a great suv for me, my wife, 3 young boys and 2 great danes...
About a yr after owning it i installed a 3" spacer lift kit, BDS upper A-arms, bilstein shocks and moog lower ball joints, tie rod links. And after the front and rear sway bar links let go, i installed new poly sway bar links that were of proper lengths to realign the sway bar. Next i found some 2017 factory ford 20" rims and had some 33x12.5r20 Fury country hunter R/T ties...
Right around this time i found a killer deal on the 1.8 litter supercharger kit from magnacharger. At this point i gave the transmission a complete 20quart flush and new filter... The extra 3 quarts came from the 2010 f550 transmission cooler i installed in place of the factory cooler. Feeling that that still might not be enough i installed 2 pusher fan's in the front of all the cooler... Yes i kept the the mechanical puller fan... The pushers are mostly for the stop and go city driving... I stay in Henderson Nv so the summer temps will see 110+ temps for months on in... To top it all of i also installed a Rugged Ridge hood luver to help vent some of the under hood temp...
So the blower is fully rebuilt with all new bearings,seals and all new belts. I upgraded the intercooler to a much larger cooler that fits perfectly in the lower vent built into the front bumper. The plastic intercooler reservoir was also upgraded to much larger all aluminum tank...
Im now to the point of installation, however do to the pandemic i cant find a local shop to spend the day putting a proper dyno tune on it once i install the Magnacharger kit...
Did i mention the expedition now has 149k miles on it...
