Ford Expedition True expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.

Default 03 Expedition Tune Up Parts?

My Expy has around 77,000 miles and it's just a little rough. I'm thinking it needs a tune up. Besides plugs, what else would I need to bring home from the parts store? Anything else I need to know? It's a 5.4L.

Thanks in advance,
Marylyn

you need to ask yourself when your ...
air filter
oil filter
PCV valve
fuel filter
oil
transmission fluid and filter
axle fluids
hoses
belts
wipers

were all last changed/checked

but also you should grease any suspension and steering components that have zerks
lube door latches
check tire pressure and tread wear

I recomend only motorcraft, autolite, wix, moog, anco parts
