hey a long shot but here goes anyway. anyone with personal experiance (good or bad) on the above said make and model? we've had a 2003 Expedition since 2005 and at 190+k miles on it the ghost may be near. went out today and thought a rod was about to come through the block. anyway found a deal on a 2008 with 6x,xxx miles on it at a nice price. it is the XL model and is fully loaded. what reports i could find on line for this year was pretty good. it has the 5.4L 6 speed trans. going to go look at it tonight hopefully.
