    2003 Expy possible Heater Core, how to make sure

    Ford Warranty? My Expedition is 18 years old so where does that come in? Running Evans should not effect a brand new truck warranty either. And as far as Evans actual warranty, it like everybody else's other than once you have Evans you don't ever add, change, or flush the system again! Without...

    2003 Expy possible Heater Core, how to make sure

    Thanks for the information. Had the heater core changed at a Ford Dealer so it is a Motorcraft OEM unit. I run Evans in all my performance vehicles and with having no water in the system at all and the system not being under pressure is great. I'm not one of these tree huggers, but Evans is...

    2003 Expy possible Heater Core, how to make sure

    Thanks. I am overly Boy Scout with the Expy IE Be Prepared. I keep 4 plugs, 4 COPs, 2 quarts Amsoil 5W-20 oil, one gallon Ford concentrate antifreeze, one serpentine belt, 4 feet of each size vacuum hose, and a box of fuses and couple spare relays in the Expy at all times. I have a WiFi OBD2...

    2003 Expy possible Heater Core, how to make sure

    Thanks for the heads up on the bypass kit at the auto parts store. Next, facts not in evidence since I am currently and have been using Ford antifreeze for the last 18 years I have owned my 2003 Expy (purchased in November 2002) and I have lost a radiator, two front heater cores, one rear heater...

    2003 Expy possible Heater Core, how to make sure

    I have a 2003 Expedition on which I replaced the radiator and heater core on about 5 years ago. I also bypassed the rear heater because I had coolant in the rear seat floor boards and don't really need heat in the back with our two large 125 pound dogs. So now to the problem, I smell Glycol...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    UPDATE: So after my troubleshooting to help prove what it was (thanks for the help of the Forum), it is what I diagnosed it as, bad fuel pump. There was gasoline on the Flat Bed Tow Truck when he got to the Ford dealer. Upon inspection, I also have a hole in my gas tank caused by a very small...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    Sorry, does purple text not mean sarcasm on this Forum? I was trying to add some levity to my personal frustration once I got it down to having to be either the R303 relay or the fuel pump and needing a means to absolutely prove that before heading to Ford or ordering the $20 relay to remove and...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    No, why would I do that as a Newbie that has only been on the Forum for 7 years. I searched for 2 hours before I made my post. That is how I found out about R303. The problem is "knowing" exactly what terms or words to search ON. I just searched for another hour turning up nothing, than I...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    Well that video just shows the bad relay that can go bad behind the Fuse Box, but not how to jumper around that to prove that is it or to power Fuel Pump to prove the fuel pump is still good. So anybody know how to bypass the fuse block to power the Fuel Pump? Does anybody know how to jumper...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    Thanks, I'll rewatch the video. UPDATE: I have put a fuel pressure gauge on the main rail. Zero pressure under all key positions and starting modes. Rear emergency switch not tripped. Sprayed 5 seconds of Valvoline Starter Fluid into the intake, the Expy started right up and ran for several...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    Thanks, actually currently looking at that or a dead fuel pump. Trying to find a way to confirm it without actually replacing both. Anybody know a place I can bypass the Fuse Panel and get 12 volts to the fuel pump to power it manually? I bought a fuel pressure gauge so I can now check pressure...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    2003 Ford EB 4x4 parked at Home Depot, the truck was running fine. Came back out with my digital T-bevel and the truck would not fire, just crank and crank and crank. So far I have checked all the fuses, replaced R203, I don't know if I have fuel rail pressure or not (borrowing a fuel pressure...

    Loss of power, Started with towing and now at highway speeds. Please help!

    I had a similar problem loss of power up hills or pulling into traffic: Mine turned out to be the Catalytic Converters. Anybody with a 2003 or new Expy should run a bottle of Cataclean at 150K and ever 50 to 75K after that. Keeping the Cats clean and free flowing is a whole lot cheaper then...

    Odd Oil Color at Oil Filler Cap

    Yeah, I am hoping the head gaskets are OK because I don't see any water or coolant in the oil on the dipstick plus I topped off my radiator overflow reservoir to the top Cold mark and checked it every morning for the last 10 days with no change in cold start water level so it appears I am not...

    Odd Oil Color at Oil Filler Cap

    Guess you haven't seen my Odometer lately, I am a Road Warrior. Most trips are 4 hours or more mostly on the Interstates. Any other ideas, my neighbor's comment was excess idling time but the only idling I do is at traffic lights.
