2003 expedition 5.4 everything and I mean everything worked perfectly except the Frame rusted out causing the crossmember in the rear holding the lower control arms. The frame had holes in many spots. It failed with nothing to weld to at rear cross member.One wheel cambered in big time the other cambered out. Drove another 500 miles till half shaft boot shredded and Frame was hitting cv joint. Got $600 for scrap but the truck still looked good. Got a new 2007 expedition with 157k hope to get another 200k out of it. pic 2003 going to the crusher 20240208_131601.jpg

Over 500k, 97 Eddie Bauer Expedition. Bought it used in 2000, still have it even though I bought a 2019 Max in Oct 2023.
Replaced the transmission at 320k. No issues with the engine

1997 Expedition XLT 4.6L

300k+
Odometer has been stuck at 276k since before we got it.

She's taken is to Colorado a couple times (including last weekend), Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and more.

Replaced the manifolds with ebay headers and did a complete top end reseal (including head gaskets) in May 2024.

Still going.
