All new upper and lower control arms, new steering tie rods and CV joints and Fox coilovers are bolted in place. The Trophy Truck style arms use factory-style bushings to provide articulation and long service-life. They’re also hardened against road chemicals and corrosion.
Bulletproof steering is one of Kroeker’s primary goals when designing race trucks. The unique tie rods are tensile tested (pull tested) and said to be 200 percent stronger than stock. Compression testing revealed them to be over 500% stronger than stock, according to Kroeker.
The Fox coilovers scream custom gear. The first of their kind, these monsters were specifically designed for the Ram Runner application. In fact every steering and suspension components is much more robust than the factory parts, especially when you lay them side-by-side with the original equipment for comparison.
Step 5: New Front Wheels and Tires Installed
Once you install the Stage 2 kit, you’re also committed to adding all new wheels and tires that aren’t included.
Auto dealers are always saying that this is the best time to buy a car and this Fourth of July weekend, traditionally a major weekend for automotive sales, they are most likely right.
Incentives, a robust inventory and the reduction of both state sales tax and vehicle registration fees are creating a perfect storm for a great weekend of sales.
And because of that, some customers who purchased a new car in the past few years, including during the Cash for Clunkers program, might be able to purchase a new car now and keep their payments the same.
“We’ve run across a lot of situations where that is true,” said Randy Haddock, general manager of Vista Ford in Oxnard. “People have been pleasantly surprised over what we’ve been able to offer them on their trade-in.”
With late-model used vehicles in high demand, Darrell Coletto, president of First Automotive Group in Simi Valley, said customers are getting top dollar for their trade-ins. “We’re buying cars with both hands,” he said.

I've heard FORD sucks in reliability so should I avoid this car?

1999 FORD Expedition Eddie Bauer with 140k miles. Asking $5900. It was $8900 but now on clearance sale.
It's a new car dealer and comes with money back guarantee and 3 month warranty.
Carfax is clean other than 1 accident. Doesn't say how bad it was or extent of damage. But it's Carfax certified.
yeah some do but some can be good if they have been takin care of my bro has 1 that is from 1988 with 300.000 miles and it still run and this is the 1 moter

YES THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NEED AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER IS A TRANSMISSION.

The mileage alone should be enough to make you run away. The dealer's having a laugh at that price.

The past 10 years have been great for Ford Motor Company. They have been receiving the highest quality and reliablity ratings out of any car company except for Honda.
Just like any used car, I would have a qualified inspector not related to the dealtership in any way, look at the truck.
I had a 1999 Ford F-150 (Essentially the same thing, except a truck, obviously) and the only two issues I had on it were the lightbulb in the passenger air bag shut off switch had burned out, and an issue with the computer coming unplugged, but I live on a dirt road, and that was to be expected.

Well, the Ford models up to about 1996 weren't the best on quality, but the Expedition should last you over 200,000 miles if the previous owner has taken care of it properly, and you keep it well maintained like routine oil changes and check ups.

yes thay are not good cars go woth a gmc car

Unlike the other poster said, ford vehicles do last AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM!!!! Most people beat the trash out of their cars and expect nothing is going to happen. Keep up on the oil changes and regular maintnance and your car will run along time. Its hard to say how the previous owner of this vehicle treated it so I would suggest buying something with lower miles and something newer 2002-2006 with about 10-60k miles.

Stay away from the Expedition. Too many miles and it's gas mileage is terrible. It will nickel and dime you to death.
Also, don't always believe car fax. It all depends which shop did the repair and if it was reported.
I have a 2001 galant that I purchased new. I have been in 5 accidents, not one my fault but all required body repair. I did a car fax on this car several weeks ago and it was car fax certified with no accident history!!!!!!

I have a 1998 Mazda B2500 Diesel Pickup, engine is a WL-31, what are the valve clearances, hot and cold?

Strangely the owner's manual doesn't list them. Local dealer closed down, Ford Philippines doesn't carry this line anymore.
try to look at your hood when you open it there's a manual attached to it... it show there the gauge for hot or cold.
A Ford dealer in Kansas reported softer sales in August on both the month and year, driven in part by scant inventory, but he said commerce has been solid
