What octane fuel do you run?
Also, what major problems did/do you have?
1998 Eddie Bauer 94K miles. All I've ever run was 87 octane. Never had a problem, not even a little one. Regular maintenance always done, otherwise, no extra money spent. It's been the best vehicle I have ever owned for reliability. I've wanted to sell it and get something new, but I always said when I start having problems, I'll get rid of it. Needless to say, I stilll have it!!
i have a 2000 eddie bauer 2wd with about 82k miles. at 81k, i had to put in a tranny. then my sunroof took a shiat on me. that is another $2k to fix. but i love the car. the thing is a horse.
My wife drives one........a kid carrier.....
It's a 98' with about 85K.......
Never had a problem with it......
I'd like t get her a new one, but I like not aving the payment......
A new one would cut into my boating budget......
Do you know how many drives I can buy for a new Expedition !!!!

It sure is nice to see a person that has their priorities straight!
Not having a payment is a beautifull thing.
I didn't own an expidition...but I did own an XLT bronco, 89...with the 5.8 and an AOD....it ate gas like no other..but I still loved it...bought it with 90k on it and ran it till 95k ish then had to get rid of it when the gas prices started to climb again...and the rear end started locking up....plus 32 gallons a week at 1.75 a gallon on a bi-weekly paycheck...just wasn't working... So, I betrayed myself and got another honda
It does however get me way better gas mileage...350 miles to 11 gallons as apposed to 350 miles to 32 gallons..
we have a 98 w/5.4 and now have to run 89 octane in it so it doest ping. Up until about 6 months ago it always ran on 87. Still a great SUV for us. It has 68K on it.
We're on our second one. Always 87 octane, never a problem...
our 99, leased veh, turned back in w/ 90k. Not a day in the shop.
04, 10k, Black Eddie, just a bunch of car washes
I have a 1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer, with 69,200 miles. As this vehicle is my daily driver / mobile office used on company business, I have it serviced regulary. Only problem I've had was a fuel filter clogged, which caused the electric fuel pump to overheat. Other than that I put a new battery in it a year ago, before I had any trouble like a dead battery. I have thought about getting a new vehicle for business, a daily driver but, I would definately have to give the new Expedition a good look as well as the Denali, Tahoe, Escalade, Navagator etc. I would go with the best buy for the money as long as the needs are met for my business requirements are met. Enough interior space to carry large items as a show booth case, products, as well a couple of people as the Expo. has worked so well for me. It also has always run on the 87 octain go juice too. With the gas prices going ever higher, it's going to be an expensive summer. Buy oil stocks, the profits will be huge!
Only the boat and my 454 Chevy dually run on the 92 go juice. - Wavemaker
