This is the Eddie Bauer unit with the V-6 and 180,000 miles on the clock. We have put almost $5000 worth of work into it over the last several months. We are trying to keep it on the road so my daughter can drive it in a year when she gets her license, but I am not sure it will last that long. I just can't get the wife to part with it. She loves the truck too much. We had a nice new 2012 Expedition as a rental and she hated it.

That is why I wanted it fixed. Did not want the engine to go and have to dump the truck. Cheaper to fix it and keep it on the road as long as I can.
