    Pulled TB on my 04 5.4 2V

    Yeah plugs on the 2v are easy. Having an 04 you've got the heads with the 8 thread plug bores too. Took me about 2 hours start to finish on mine going slow. I rebuilt the COPs too.

    Gotts mod (stock cold air intake improvement) for 03/04 Expy/Navi

    Hmm good to know. Does it rattle or clunk around at all?

    Gotts mod (stock cold air intake improvement) for 03/04 Expy/Navi

    This will work on the 03/04 Expy and apparently 03/04 Navi as well. I've seen it done on 05/06 models but that requires cutting the airbox. 3" diameter piece of PVC pipe. It has to be a length of actual PVC pipe, not a 3" coupler. I needed to cut it to about 4" and then take a belt sander...

    Expedition Towing Capabilities

    Yeah they won't rent trailers to explorers because of the firestone scare in the late 90s/early 2000s or whenever it was. They are idiots.

    2nd Gen Strut Options

    At near 120k on the original suspension, my ride is surprisingly smooth. No idea if the original owner ever had them replaced though, never really cared to look at them too closely, I was just excited to see springs instead of air springs when I looked at the car initially. Those Suncore...

    Expedition Towing Capabilities

    I've towed multiple cars and trailers with my 03. You have to make sure yours has the tow package though. Easiest way is to just look at your trailer plug and see if its just the small 4 pin or the big circle 7 pin. If you have the 7 pin you have the tow package. One reason I jumped so fast...

    Mobil 1 ATF in 2004 expy?

    Jeez where did you get that closeout? Any left? Do they ship? Link? I did mine about 25k ago with $3/qt Autozone Mercon V and I thought that was a good deal. I did the power flush too where you toss the trans cooler feed line in a bucket, leave it in drive and have a friend add fluid...

    basic/best couple mods for '03 5.4 mpgs

    Good read. Has anyone had the stock Y pipe replaced and if so how much did the shop charge to do it and does it help gas mileage at all? I've had cats get clogged before and with having 4 of them on this truck... Headers... yeah shorties are going to be a waste of money just like they are in...

    Supercharger options by generation?

    Start with and On3 2V Mustang turbo kit and modify it for the truck? Headers should clear, obviously things will have to be massaged/re-routed and re-welded but the big 5.4L combined with the characteristics of a turbo would be pretty cool. There is definitely plenty of room for it. If...

    can anything be done to better the fuel milage on my 3rd gen?

    Best I ever did on the 2V was 17mpg and that was on old plugs and tires on a really really long road trip. At the expense of a little MPG, I would not run 5w20. My 5.4L used at least a quart of oil between changes and had a slight tick before I switched to 5w40 (yes 40) Rotella T6. Nice and...

    2003 manual in PDF form FREE, FREE, FREE

    Damn... THANKS! Now to email it to myself and abuse the work printer. Wish we still had the $10k mega printer that did spiral binding... :(

    My Attempt On Custom Headlights

    This looks damn good, kudos for doing it right instead of just installing HIDs in the stock housings like all the ricers out there.

    Lightning Supercharger swap into an 04 Expi write-up

    Any more info on how the Expy is running with this done? I had someone randomly interested in buying my 95 Cobra the other day and got to thinking if I sold it I could put some of that money into finally doing this.

    Road Trip Worthiness

    Took ours on a 5 hour each way trip up into the blue ridge mountains in August and it was fine. I changed EVERY fluid including the diffs, transfer case, the trans using the transmission cooler line disconnect trick to bleed the torque converter, oil and fresh coolant. Way overboard but I had...

    2005 Eddie Bauer

    I paid 12.5k for my 03 with 78k miles on it and all the options you listed plus no bubbling and all pieces there and mint. I know this was an older post and I really hope you did not get raked over the coals on that... Hell for 15k you can get a 03/04 Navi loaded under 80k miles. Sent from my...
