148k so far nothing major, just the vacuum lines. The left rear door lock doesn't want to unlock on occasion, have to get around to looking into that some day.

1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer AWD 5.4 v-8 4r100 trans.
Will cruise on a flat stretch of highway with all windows down at 70mph getting an instant readout from the overhead of 18-19 mpg. mostly steady at 18.

It has almost every easy mod it can get too, just needs headers, another exhaust pipe, and the wiring harness for the dual 16inch fans

I figure when I'm done my avg. mpg will be about 18 (I currently get 16.2 avg mpg on the overhead and climing)

Engine and trans have not been opened up - yet.
Tires, brakes, and muffler all have been replaced at least 3 times.
Tie rods and ball joints once.
No major problems to speak of.
Still tow car on open trailer with ease.

have had a new window regulator, 2 new rims since 2 were cracked, 4 new tires, all new shocks, it needs rear springs, new tierods, new torsion bars that are of a different stiffness, matching rims, probably new seat covers or just new seats and some major de rusting/frame painting!

2003 eb 5.4

2003 EB 5.4, 147,000 miles. no major problems other than Power Steering Pump replaced, fuse block replaced (due to burned out fuel relay inside block that cannot be replaced individually), driver seat motors froze, Radio/ Nav system replaced due to blank screen, one reverse sensor replaced ($125 each), all 8 spark plugs and coils replaced (one coil went bad- just changed them all) now have a leak in the right rear differential axle shaft seal (still trying to figure out if I can do it myself or have to go to dealer and pay big$$$). I strongly believe this car will run past 200K miles. I'll probably keep it til it dies.
