  1. wasn't navi and expi both f 150 platforms ? least up to 2006 ? my 06 was my last, the redesign was not to my taste.......had a 98, 01, 03 and lastly the 06
  2. i remember reading navigator was to be a redesign for 2013, now finding a article ford has put a hold on the redesign and possibly going to cancel navigator all together wonder if the 2007 redesign had ill effect s on sales ? of course in addition to gas prices.......
  3. always had a e350 van, went to pickups, but working out of them as i m getting alittle older is hard, so i went back to a e350 for the work thing.....2011, v10 with torqueshift, no more diesel option. with all the bells and whistles you couuld order on a cargo van, except i shoulda order the sync........... took delivery late june, have almost 7000 miles on it so far, only problem , a center trim cap from upgraded aluminum wheels flew off......... ride s alittle ruff when i m not loaded down, but sure does handle well loaded up ! !
  4. last e van i ordered took just 3 1/2 weeks from sitting in dealers office, to it arriving.. but that was 2006 model in may of 06.... wish it was that fast to get rid of it.... had 6.0 powerstroke.......
  5. low mileage 7.3 s are out there, expect to pay alittle more for them... my buddies 03 7.3 just got a new oil pan....required engine removal... dealer qouted 2600, but settled on 2000 bucks.... oil pan rot outs seems a common problem on the 7.3. if i was looking, i d still go a 7.3..
  6. i ve heard of a few oil pan failures. my buddies 03 is done... 2500 bucks qouted for replacement.. per 2 dealers engine has to come out.... original qoute 2500 bucks, he got them down to 2000 now...
  7. my buddy heard the same answer you got... he has a 03 f350 with a psd diesel..oil pan leaking like a seive...well doc 'd problem.. dealer service says, well it is 6 years old and 130k on odo..... was told repair was 2500 bucks....engine has to come out to replace pan. he went and got some indy shops prices and went back to dealer, they said they ll match lowest repair qoute of 2000 bucks. try getting a qoute from a indy shop that uses jasper tranny rebuilds. they carry a nationwide warranty and from i understand, they update parts that are prone to failure.
  8. regarding a restyle, i cant say that for navigator. a 2006 will be should say is my last.....had 98 01 03 and lastly a 06.. navigator L good idea.....2007 style , not good imo. of course gas prices didnt help navi either. as the town car, the crown vic may be for fleet sales only.....
  9. imo, ford did u and me a favor maybe. the large suv market needs to balance out resale value wise. i just traded my 06 navi for a 2009 mazda........ in jan 09 trade value was a meer 16000 bucks...... got 25000 last week at zoomzoom/lincoln dealer . they said production being halted sold off almost all inventory and brought used market back in line. i found a link showing that navigator sales for march 2009 was only 147 units......down from 1900 something same time last year..... couldnt find info on 2007. forgot what expedition sales figures were like, but from what i see in my travels, most of NJ dealer s have but 1 expedition on the lot. the 2 month production halted helped me at least. all big suv s will be cut back...i see a big change in what people drive here in NJ on my commute.....
  10. now that the plant that produce the lastest 6.4 psd are closing , guess all those with warranty problems are going to get reman'd engines after inventory runs out....
  11. the way i read this article, the navistar/ford deal is done at end of 2009 ? only to supply ford with diesels in s america market. imo the way things are going economy wise, you ll be lucky to see any navigators in 2010 let alone a diesel set up. reason for buying a diesel are less attractive now given diesel fuel costs more than gas, and fuel economy isnt that great on new emmision laden diesel engines. barrel of oil my be cheap now, but the taxes that are on gas/diesel fuel are going to jump to make up for all the shortfalls from other areas ...
  12. is that one picture a hour meter showing 99 hours ? thats 155 mph with 14,000 on odo ? you d never be able to drive a cv like that in NJ with getting pulled over for improper lights.
  13. hi all my 2006 navi calls for 5w20 oil...year round. why ? reason i m asking, i changed the oil myself, 4800 miles on change, only got 5 1/2 qts out, and was getting a plume of oil smoke on start up. only 18,000 miles on my navi. thanks ! !
  14. vapor silver black interior is very nice combo ! ! what little details are missing on the 09 ? thanks
