What did you do to the expy today

[Dr0idattack]

What did the set cost? I'd like a little less floating also, was it hard to change out?

I’m lazy and didn’t install these myself. I had a local shop do it for about $1100 (parts, labor for installation, alignment, and a bolt was stripped on part of the suspension and had to be cut of and replaced.)

Drove it, parked it....etc

I have a 1st gen, with a 6 inch under, and 4 inch boddy with 2 inch wheel spacers. It is a mechanical lift. The rack on top, is an as built 2.6 inches high. I am putting a Smittybuilt tent on top of that this week.

How does the Expy do with those tents? Is there plenty of roof support?

So I did this today. The jury is still out on whether it will stay. I like it from certain angles and others not so much.
The OEM ones only come with the red FX. I do not like red much at all. Found these “Ford Officially Licensed” ones in black and silver. It is the appropriate font for the corresponding F150 model year.

Over the past month I've:
Changed fluids in both differentials and transfer case. Filled with Amsoil Severe Duty 75-90 in the front and 75-140 + 4 ozs Ford XL-3 friction modifier in the rear.
Oil change - Shell Rotella Gas Truck 5-30 full synthetic + Napa Platinum filter.
Replaced serpentine belt, tensioner and all pullys.
Replaced front brake pads and rotors with Raybestos Element3 pads + Napa Ultra Premium rotors.
Installed a military style positive battery terminal and modified the existing wiring to connect to it.
Replaced battery with an Interstate brand battery.
Replaced the oil filter adapter and oil pressure switch.

For those of you that didn't see my previous post the truck through a p0299 code which means the big girl wasn't getting enough boost. Still spun the tires though. Any way we brought it into our local Ford dealer yesterday the one we purchased the vehicle through, the same dealer that set us up with a extended warranty through easy care. They called us today and said it needed the fuel injectors clean and it needed a new bypass valve.
GRAND TOTAL close to $600. None of it is covered under warranty and the truck only has 65,000 miles. Needless to say we are shopping around for a better price.

That is complete and total BS!!! New Bypass Valve should definitely be covered.

Injectors you can do your self with a good bottle of Techcron fuel system cleaner.

Add American Flags to the side of the big girl, they a mirrored on both sides. It's a small mod but makes the truck stand out.Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

True. All of the other vehicles are sporting Confederate flags.

Update!
The truck is fixed new turbo bypass valve is installed and fuel injection cleaning is done. Brought the truck to a local mechanic and they did it for $300 half the cost of what Ford wanted. The truck is much more responsive and honestly sounds a lot different. You can definitely here the turbos more and the bypass valve working properly.

Hauled more s**t with it today. This time it was 1,375 lbs of fitness equipment. Getting a bit close to the cargo limit, but she hauled it like it was nothing. I'll definitely be downsizing next vehicle, but for the time being I'm making the most of the cargo capacity in this beast.

Discovered a power steering leak at the rack end seal this evening. I'll probably dump some Stop Leak in there to buy some time, but rack replacement seems imminent.

A few days ago I had a P0201 pending trouble code that popped up. A few weeks ago I had a noise develop on the driver side that I believe to be the wheel hub assembly at the very least (not had time to go further). All of this at only 143K makes this the second worst vehicle I have ever had (after my Ford Probe). :/

Today I replaced one of the license plate bulbs after I had the ************* towed home (P0201 + P0301 codes, accompanied by a misfire on cyl 1).

Well by the codes it sounds like cylinder 1 injector is bad as you have injector circuit malfunction and misfire cylinder 1.

 

[JExpedition07]

Yesterday I replaced 4 of the 8 plugs....3 were loose and sooty causing light misfires and 1 was iffy. Also replaced one coil.

It turned out to be a bad fuel injector connector at cylinder 1. I tested it repeatedly by myself with a noid light propped up on a hose and it seemed fine. Then I had someone run the engine while I held the light and I noticed when I moved it a certain way, it would stop firing. I replaced the connector and all is right again on that front.

I do still have a leaking power steering assembly and a bad wheel hub assembly though. Neither is catastrophic of course, but the fact that all this crap is happening at once makes me uneasy. I've had more issues with this Expedition than any other vehicle I've had in the last 25 years aside from my Ford Probe. :/ We've got a bit of a love/hate relationship at this point.
