    Well, I did it, I bought myself an Excursion! It's a 2003 Eddie Bauer 6.0 diesel, and let me tell you, it's a BEAST! Way quicker than I would have imagined for being so Damn heavy and big. Will be time to sell my Expedition in a few weeks. Sorry to see it go, but this one has been nightmare...

    Truck won't start....

    We aren't home. At a campground and of course it isn't warm out. My truck turns over but won't start. I checked the fuel pump fuse, it's good. I tried the switch in back where the air pump switch would be on some expeditions. I thought when I pushed it, it clicked. But tried to start it and...

    Thinking about going from my 03 to a 2008/2009...

    What's the difference like going from a 03 2 valve 5.4 and 4 speed to a newer 3 valve 5.4 and 6 speed trans? Am considering a EL too. I tow my 7600 GVWR TT all over Ohio, and would like to venture out further. Anyone tow with theirs? How is it?

    AC cycle switch near firewall 2003

    I need the low pressure AC cycle switch for my 03. Anyone have one from a Expy they are parting out? It's the one located near the firewall. Like the switch in this pic. Don't need the whole assembly, just the pressure switch

    Low pressure AC switch???

    Where is the low pressure cut off on my 03 Expy? I assume its on the accumulator/dryer? Is that mounted behind the ECM on the firewall?( I uploaded a pic, it's it behind it? AC has started to have intermittent issues, now it won't run at all. Static pressure low side is around 120, didn't check...

    Not home... What size socket for coil pack and spark plug?

    I am not home, and need to buy a socket for both the coil pack and possibly spark plug. Got a serious misfire on cyl 8. I want to swap coil packs with 7, and see if it migrates, or stays. Is the coil pack bolt a 8mm? Spark plug a 9/16? I need 2 short 3/8 extensions for the plug as I remember on...

    Pulled this weekend..longest distance so far...

    So we pulled towards eastern Ohio this weekend, went to Salt Fork State Park. The Expedition pulled beautifully! Maintained around 63 to 65 normally and around 55 to 60 on some of the bigger hills. Tried to keep the RPM's below 4k on the hills too. It pulled beautifully all weekend. Got...

    First long distance pull, or shall i say longer distance than normal with TT

    We went to Hocking Hills State park 2 weekends ago. Pulled our Outback 293UBH which has a GVWR of 7600lbs. We never tow with water in the tanks, so I would assume we are closer to the 7000 to 7200 range. And, yes I used my Equalizer hitch and prodigy controller. Was approx 80 miles each way...

    Curious... 5 star tune for a 2 valve 5.4??

    For those of you who have done it, is it worth it? Does doing a 5 star tune really help these 2 valve engines with the 4 speed trans? Its $450, or am I just better off waiting until I get a new truck in late summer? We will be towing our 7000 pound trailer come and of April, so is it worth it?

    Throttle cable slack

    I was looking at the 1st gen section and see people talking about it. I went under the dash, and sure enough I can move my pedal quite a bit for sure... Went under the hood, removed the plastic cover, and damn... I have an inch of play in the cable! I don't see how to take up the slack with...

    Which Expedition???

    As many of you know, I used to have a 97 and now have a 2003 Expedition. Both 5.4's and both 4WD. My wife and I were talking about replacing the 2003 with a gas F250, but not the V10 or 5.4 and the newer V8 F250 with the 6.2 is probably to rich for my blood now... Or even a good used Diesel(but...

    For those of you with Equalizer hitched... A question?

    How many washers do you have between the head and hitch bar? I have 4 washers... Front end seems a little high, thinking about adding a 5th washer? Curious to know what you guys have? I don't have the load leveling suspension on my 2003 either.

    Ok, as most of you know, I tow a fairly large Travel trailer, its 33' long, and has a GVWR or 7600lbs. I am in the approx weight of 7100 to 7200. My 2003 EB, 5.4 4x4 Expedition handles it good, have a Prodigy Brake controller, and Equalizer E4 hitch, LT rated tires, as I said it handles just...

I tow our Travel trailer with it frequently, which loaded is about 6900 pounds. While the damn thing tows it ok, handles good, rides good, but it doesn't have...

    Cruise control... stops working when hitting a big bump

    I know this topic has been covered before... and most people say it is the switch located on the master cylinder that when hitting a bump or something jars the expy, is the reason it shuts off... Mine doesnt have the sensor on the master cylinder, just a sensor for fluid level... It looks like...

    5 star tune...

    Am just curious. Its alot of money...but is a 5 star tune worth it for a 2 valve 5.4? I was on their site, and though about a 87 tow tune, and a 89 tow tune, and possibly a 87 economy tune when solo on a long highway drive. Towing our Travel trailer it tows good, don't ever feel unsafe, but...
