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 Alternator/Voltage Regulator
I am having a problem with alternators. It seems that I have to change it every year at this time. I just had the alternator tested and it is testing as good; however, when the truck idles, the headlights and inside lights flicker. Could this be the voltage regulator? And is this separate from the alternator? I did look it up and it looks like the voltage regulator is on the alternator as a separate piece. Please confirm and give me other trouble shooting ideas, PLEASE!

first of all the voltage regulator is almost the same price as a alternator. check all grounds and make sure the battery terminals are clean, also test the battery (amps are okay). on the passenger side check the positive cable to the starter at the fender behind the tire to see if the cable is okay.
