Hey, I picked up a 2003 XLT last Friday and so far it's great. I'm hoping I can learn a little more about these SUVs. I don't really have any plans to modify it yet as I'm still getting used to it.

Welcome to the forum.
Do you so your own maintenance work??

 

[Johnasaurus]

Yes, I've always done my own work. I've built a few cars and bikes. My father owned his shop for a little over 30 years and I grew up around hot rods and bikes. I learned from him just being around it growing up.

Is there anything I should be on the lookout for with these? Any known issues that are easily preventable.

read this thread as it has been a common problem. Also problems with the fuel pump relay which is mounted in the fuse box and is part of the circuit board.

I'll have to keep that in mind. As of right now everything is good. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the welcomes. I've been poking around under the hood and looking on here for some ideas of what to do when the time comes.
