No low end power when warm
I have a 2003 5.4l expedition. When the engine is cold it runs normal no problems. Once the engine warms up it still sounds like it is running normal but when you take off from a stop you have to basically put the pedal to the floor to get it moving (as if you tried to take off in 3rd gear, but...- sbveenker

2nd Gen Rear Spring Rate
I did. The super duty front springs are a little longer so I cut them and the spring is a little smaller in diameter so I built a locating ring for it. What I would like to do is find some air bags to replace the springs with and then use my own switch, gauge, and compressor so I can adjust the...- sbveenker

2nd Gen Rear Spring Rate
So i have a 2003 Exp 4x4 with a 3in leveling kit in the front and 2in in the rear. I tend to pull alot of trailers and even small ones (2 snowmobiles or 2 atvs) tends to sag the back end down quite a bit and on occasion I pull a 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer which really sags it down. I...- sbveenker

2003 Expedition 07 Front End Conversion - Raptor Look-a-like
Raptor lights would not fit with this conversion. If you compare the fenders the cut outs for the headlights are different and they also wouldn't line up right with the new bumper.- sbveenker

2003 Expedition 07 Front End Conversion - Raptor Look-a-like
No I didn't have to cut the frame at all. While I was rebuilding the front end I had to leave out the 2003 plastic headlight support that goes all the way across the front in front of the radiator because the newer headlights are too tall. You could probably leave it and cut the plastic away...- sbveenker

2003 Expedition 07 Front End Conversion - Raptor Look-a-like
Yes I used the old hood hinges. I had to raise the hood latch and space the hood hook/loop down on the hood so it would be in the right spot.- sbveenker

2003 Expedition 07 Front End Conversion - Raptor Look-a-like
Yes, the only parts needed are the hood, grille, bumper, and headlights. I used the old 2003 style fenders and everything matched up really nice. You will need custom brackets for the headlights, grille, and hood bump stops. The 2003 hood stops are about 1" too short when they are fully extended...- sbveenker

2003 Expedition 07 Front End Conversion - Raptor Look-a-like
So I started this project back in October. I thought it would be cool to have an expedition that looked like a raptor so I set out to find a wrecked expedition. First I set out to repair the front end damage. As I rebuilt it I used parts for a 2007 & newer expedition. They required a few custom...- sbveenker
