Aftermarket is here: https://expedition-imports.com/KEY Original is here: https://expedition-imports.com/0005451435 Battery Key: https://expedition-imports.com/0005451635 Ignition only requires you to rotate the outer bezel.....anything works in a pinch. Not likely to find a blank easily...

Hi Guys, Just an FYI. Expedition Imports is pleased to announce the acquisition of EuroTruck Importers spare parts operations. Distribution will be consolidated at the Expedition Imports facility in Vallejo, CA. There will be a short transition period in mid-late June as the operations are...

If you are looking for cheaper shipping.......make sure to select SHOW USPS RATES and select that option. In cases like this if we can fit in a flat rate priority we will and usually will drop the shipping as low as possible prior to capturing the funds. Or you could just put a couple things...

Their are four basic options when it comes to the 406/416/419 Masters. 2 x Drum Brake Units - 1 is single circuit (1 Brake Line attaches) and 1 is Dual Circuit (2 Brake Lines attach.) The Dual circuit drum brake master is the MOST EXPENSIVE of all of the 4 masters. 2 x Disc Brake Units - The...

Currently delivering MB boxed units. (In Stock) German OEM can't tell time!..........I have the sneaking suspicion these will not happen at this point. (we requested our deposit back.)

An update for you guys on these. MB is currently worldwide back order on these. Some question as to when or if they will be coming back online. I just spent 3 weeks in Belgium and spent a LOT of time trying to source this item. Ended up getting 2...one out of France, one out of Belgium. Not...

Pictures of the bushing being discussed. http://www.expedition-imports.com/3102680035 We do sell a lot of this bushing, however normally do not hear of reports of the issue only affecting selected gears. If in the SF Bay Area a good resource on these transmissions would be Mario Moreno in...

"Fast Axle" is a misnomer that I wish would DIE! Yes it actually is a MBZ designation for a slightly higher ring and pinion. Super Fast Axles would be ring and pinion AND hub gears. However, the devil is in the details. MB went to Fast Axles as standard equipment on the OM366A engines...

Lots of incorrect information that will bite you in he ass here in CA. Yes there are always "ways" around the rules. Some actually quite legit such as the DMV employee incorrectly filling out the vin verification form.......however if you are looking for information to base the purchase of...

The sidewalls of the Michelin XL are very poor. The Continental MPT81 or Michelin XZL both have much better sidewalls. Another tire that is even better for the SEE is the Continental MPT 70........Extremely capable off road, excellent sidewalls as well. The only drawback is the lower 44 MPH...

Your primary concern should be checking the operation of the transmission. Spent some time with a customer that recently bought a truck at auction that the engine was not running. Engine was an easy fix cleaning fuel system, and priming. However, had it been running then the fact that the...

Type of fluid in these transmissions can make a HUGE difference. Pick your snake oil of choice......but I have excellent results with both Redline and Amsoil. Preference being the Amsoil. It's to the point that marginal boxes can almost be considered acceptable....still helps to shift...

Hi Guys, Quick suggestion. The IDENTICAL (except longer) power steering reservoir dipstick can be found as the engine oil dipstick on the 404. You can find this part easily......... http://www.expedition-imports.com/1800100772 Simply cut to length, put on your markings and you are good to...

Should be wood. I don't believe I have ever seen any 404 cargo bed floor out of steel on an original truck........ Post up some pics when you take a look. Cheers, Scott

Quite a few of the French 404's were the short wheelbase versions. Differences in general: 108" Wheel Base versus standard 114" Different Generator, Different Voltage Regulator. Safarri Windshield. Bed Bows are not tied into the bedsides. (Much nicer as it allows the bedside to be dropped...
