Tracking down the problem Expeditions
My brother's '99 has both the head gasket leak and the disappearing odometer.
Has anyone ever looked into the trends that follow these problems? I'm thinking that if we looked into it enough, we'd be able to figure out, down to the month, which Expeditions were doomed.
Just an idea....

thanks
the boat is brand new...2004 Gambler with a 225 Mercury.
The boat will handle a 300, but the $8000 extra aint worth it to me
the 225 will push it to 78-79 mph
thanks for the compliment on the Expy

Hello folks,
I've been lurking for several months but now you've really piqued my interest.
If the disappearing odometer is intermittent...goes out for a while then comes back on...I've got that problem too.
My build date is 11/98. I've had no head gasket problems.
Is the odometer fixable?
BTW Great site!

His has a bunch of problems, but mine hasn't had anything out of the ordinary (the IAC went up, but other than regular maintainence, nothing odd).

I had another post abouit the IAC, but saw you write about it here. Did you replace it yourself or did you have a shop do it? Also, if you did, was it hard? How much was the parts, etc. thanks in advance for any info. you can give me.
