Gotta love the Expedition 😍, great SUV! Edit: that is the 2V, I don't know if you mentioned it anymore in the video as I'm still watching but it's a 2V. They didn't switch to the 3V until 05... All it is a stroked 4.6!

As I learned from car wizard, the Ford 3v 5.4 has a design flaw. The passages that allow oil to get cam phaser are too small and therefore get clogged with sludge easily. This causes cam phaser failure due to lack of lubrication. Wizard states that frequent (3k - 5k miles) oil changes will decrease chance of this problem. So I have been interested in several trucks with the 3v 5.4l, but have had to pass on them all due to no/poor documentation on oil changes.

No, its nice to see you score a good car without major issues.

Randy! Strange Coincidence! Bought an identical one from my local charity dealer about 2 years ago. Same year, same trim, same color, same battery light, also one owner. Loved the ride. The battery issue turned out to be the wrong spec Alternator put in by previous owner. Flipped it but still miss it.

Sooooooooooo happy you are doing so well! When people tell you how lucky you are, I always say: "The harder I work, the luckier I get".

Actually when you find diamonds in the rough its pretty cool. That was a 40/50 thousand vehicle when it was new. Looks like the previous owner took great care of it! New battery and tires and she's ready for driving full time or flipping it. Great find buddy

If it’s not the battery, the alternator maybe underperforming. Nice score! Fully loaded for $1000? Yep!

Nah I'm never getting tired of seeing you score a gem at auction. I would like to see as many as possible of these. It's enjoyable. Just do what you do randy.

The entertainment value comes in the fact that you scored a great car for a junker price! I love it!

It better run good. I’ve seen those with almost 400,000 miles making cross country trips. I know people who literally drove their high mileage Expedition 4.6 from Coastal Carolinas to the mid west. Somebody took really good care of this vehicle.

As a 3v owner of a 2005 expedition with 200k still going im here to tell you all 3vs aren’t bad just maintain them and they will last forever I say keep it

Great content Randy !! Love these new videos lately Loyal viewer from Canada 🇨🇦

Same, I recently bought my 2003 Avalanche from my local auction for $2200 with 289k miles transmission slips but i still drive it everyday!

For the battery light, probably a problem with communication to the PCM. Check Ford TSB 04-14-9. Solution may be as simple as an update to the software depending on build date.

To be honest it is nice to see a non broken used car for a change.. I don't mind seeing it on your channel, not every used car is trash and this example was really nicely maintained by its single owner.

Wow, so we did win it. Cant wait to see Jessica's reaction 😂😂

Hey now don't spoil it lol.

It could be that the fuse box , or junction box how they called , on the passenger side start failing , very common on those expeditions . At Ford dealers is a 700 bucks part , at the junkyard 20 bucks . You can also send it to refurbish.

Definitely tow the Pontiac to paint with this Expedition. Keep it through the winter and for content take a road trip with it.

Congratulations Randy on everything couldn't be more happier for you

You can tell a lot about a car when you look under the frame. I have never seen a high mileage truck that is this clean, without dents or scrapes underneath. This truck has spent its life on level, flat, pavement.

And people say fords are junk and they will never make it to 150k miles. This is proof that no matter if it’s a Ford, Dodge or Chevy or whatever, if you take good care of your vehicle, it will take care of you.

Love seeing vehicles like these. I’ve kinda wanted one of these and seeing this makes me want one more.

These were the best cars ever made. Have an 04 and it's still going.

Really enjoy watching you get these nice cars and cleaning them up.

Love the content Randy ,great work

Congratulations, you now give Jessica her car. Lots of trips with Sugar, she will love it. You did great Randy.

Try the Reset button just under the Check Charging System indicator. Not even an exhaust manifold leak, great buy.

If you have charging problems on that Expedition. It may not be the battery but the positive cable itself. Just a heads up.

I like seeing these cars cleaned up and saved more than buying new cars that from dealerships

Its nice to see you score a nice one but it would be nice to see you actually change an engine or transmission as wel

She looks beautiful. You have a great example of a family car there. Hopefully you can find a good home for it. Can't wait to see the Range Rover content, hopefully she can be saved.

Love the consistency 11-12am est everyday

I love to see when you get a great vehicle cause when I get the money I’m planning on getting a car from copart

Run a scan for the battery charge fault and check service bulletins. The battery light is never a bad battery. A bad battery is often easier to charge so there's less chance of the battery charge light coming on. Nice score Randy

Fully loaded suv for 1000 bucks that’s a steal

Expedition is definitely a score! It’s so clean I’d drive it no doubt! Love hearing good news Randy! You definitely deserve it!

You have almost scored on every car you have bought recently. I am truly inspired by your eye to detail and your explanation is so crisp. Love your content. From India.

I had my ford have a battery light on and the alternator showed good come to find out it was a bad solenoid switch

Had an '05 Expedition Eddie Bauer. They don't drive like a big car...tell Jessica to try it for a few days before giving up on it. I loved it but it started having some minor issues and did have the rust in the radiator support issue. It would have cost close to $4K to replace the rad support. They also had issues with the paint flaking off of the aluminum parts. Traded it in and they gave us almost nothing for it.

Randy, I had a buddy that has had a few Expeditions that body style. He said that light is caused by 2 things, 1 a remanned alternator that is fine for charging but apparently throws the battery light unless its oem, or a bad or recently replaced PCM that has not been synced to the ignition switch. May not help but worth a shot, love the channel and videos!

I like to do things like that but I can't anymore. I enjoy your videos even if you end up with a good vehicle needing little or no work, because it's great to see you get a win like that and make money on the car. So please don't just get cars that are bad - you'll lock yourself into a narrow range of cars that are needing of work/parts but not so much as to be losers when you "send tham down the road"

Man you really did score a gem it just needs some detailing for the interior and the exterior pulse some small oil changes and break flush and you have a like new truck that will last

Well done Randy, keep cranking out the great content !

Someone spent good money to keep an otherwise, unreliable Ford check engine light free. I always liked the look of those Eddie Bauer edition Fords.

Its good to have Cars without issues just drive them have a Bath detailing and voila it's Nice man this Expedition is amazing love this SUV green lights on the dash looks amazing and no noises

Randy, that will make a GREAT flip!

That truck looks like it could go another 260,000 miles. What an absolute score!

You got a hell of a deal. Nice truck.

The 1st gen Expeditions 1999-2002 were the best and sold the most. Ford made them much better than the later models and they last forever.

Check the fuse link near the battery. It throws a charging system error if not good.

I like seeing the good scores. It gives normal people like me hope that we can find a score like that too. They are out there.

The fact it's a one owner is the best selling point of all. Once a vehicle's paid off, if it's been problematic the owner is going to trade that thing in faster than you can do an oil change. Obviously this one's been behaving itself.

You just can't beat the older Fords. I wouldn't be surprised to see that Expedition go another 200k miles.

yes I completely agree Randy, im tired of seeing all the cars working great .. we need some overheating... trans not shifting.... brakes not working etc.

Ford expedition are beast alot of people don't realize that these can pull 9200 pounds. They aren't necessarily fast but if you need to haul it can do it. Ive got almost 300k and it purrs

You are doing great buddy your videos are the best

I know you said that cars like this don't make content. Sure it does even with no issues I still enjoyed the video. Also you got one hell of a deal on that. Even if you don't keep it I bet you could easily double your money on it with the right buyer that is.

H/S friend bought a 2004 Taurus new. in 2015, the battery light came on. His Tech checked EVERYTHING, no problems with the charging system. I bought it, kept it awhile, and sold it to a bowling teammate. He has had no issues, and he hooked up an after market volt meter, and it always shows charging just fine. One of the mysteries of life I guess.....

I have a 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer, exactly like this one but with about half the miles and in red. First Ford I’ve ever owned, and it’s been very reliable. Definitely check all of your fuses and all of your power ports to make sure they’re functional. The TPMS system can be very flaky. Mine has shown the TPMS error ever since I bought it, and the sensors have all been replaced. So I have no idea what the problem is. Doesn’t really bother me, other than I have to turn off the warning every time I go somewhere. The 2004 models still had the 2V engine, so you will not have the cam phaser issue. They are, however, really poor on gas mileage. Expect 14-15 at best.

Love the new format Randy. When you going to do a boat? Thanks for all the hard work so I can relax on a Saturday.
