    Where to get an extra key?

    I’m a locksmith, and yes, you’ll need the Forescan app, an OBDII adapter and a windows machine to program the key yourself—I’d stay away from cheap programming machines you may find online, they can damage your truck computer. If you get a key from eBay or Amazon, do try to find the ford OEM...

    2003 "Expi-Lockshop" Major wear on the inside rear tires

    Went on the scales today, the truck weighs in at 6,720lb. If the curb weight is accurate I’m looking at a 1,100lb payload 100% of the time. Custom springs are the answer here, $600 for a set. I’ll post pictures when they come in. Until then, we are going to try and align the tires while loaded...

    2003 "Expi-Lockshop" Major wear on the inside rear tires

    Hi! I'm a locksmith in Grand Junction, CO. I've converted the rear of my 2003 Expedition into a locksmith shop, and have recently found that the inner shoulder on all of my tires are extremely worn out, and it's highly pronounced in the rear. I looked up the cargo capacity, and see it's at...

    Key question

    I'm a locksmith... The key for our trucks (and most Ford's) are cloneable, so changing out the security system isn't needed. If your door cylinder is fubar, most of the time a locksmith can re-pin it for you--same with the ignition. If you go to Walmart or find a smith that can cut a metal...

    Any good After market catalytic converters ?

    Well, it’s your perogative to disagree, but I stated the facts on what my experience with this specific issue—so I agree with your “should have been activated” statement since it allows room for “didn’t,” and interject the following scenario: On my rig, when running at a certain range of RPM...

    Any good After market catalytic converters ?

    I had a "rattle" that sounded like rod knock from the passenger side Cat for 6 months without any codes and no loss in power. It finally broke loose enough to plug the rear cat. So it's not a bogus theory that there's a busted cat...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    I have this issue in my truck. If you have a sunroof, check the drain on the driver side. Mine is plugged up and that overflows into the pillar, then down to the floor. Took out my blinker relay this summer. Hope that helps.

    Truck bed liner paint job

    Awesome! You've made her impervious to pretty much anything! Reminds me of a myth busters episode where they crashed a car with similar material painted on and it made the car tougher. Thank you for your service!

    What did you do to the expy today

    The other down side to the magnetic base is that the ground plane isn't as good--and in my experience they pop off the roof too easily in the wind. The Motorola NMO mounts are secure, waterproof and provide better ground. Theres really no down side to drilling a small hole in the vehicle if you...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Added a tablet holder to the dash, adds to the nerd setup that I have going on here with the 2-Way radio. Next will be a CB when I feel like drilling another 3/4" hole in the roof.

    Engine and Trans rebuild questions

    Does that require a brain change as well?

    Engine and Trans rebuild questions

    Great advice! I'll be looking into the crate motors, and the more I read and opinions roll in, the more a reman transmission sounds a lot better. I should clarify that I'm doing away with the triton in the expy, it'll be better to turn it in for a core than rebuilding it. I appreciate all the...

    Engine and Trans rebuild questions

    Thank you juan214 for those part numbers! Very helpful. I'm doing more homework and probably starting this next spring. Is it easier to pull the engine and transmission out at the same time? And is there a write up for that procedure?

    side view mirrors constantly moving

    I'm 100% sure that in the 2003 manual, page 131 is about programming the remote to the seat and mirror memory since I looked it up :) Hopefully I didn't sound sarcastic, that's not my intent. Don't know where I plugged in that I have a 2004... but I have a 2003 EB. Either way, this procedure...

Press the SET control on the driver's door panel. 2.within 5 seconds, press any control (button) on the remote transmitter which you would like to deactivate...

    Engine and Trans rebuild questions

    Thank you! I will be doing all the work myself :) Just want to get something solid I can put a turbo or supercharger on in a couple years and not worry about it blowing up. The Lincoln 5.4L InTech looks pretty good with a 40hp increase over the Triton that I currently have, and sounds like...

    Engine and Trans rebuild questions

    Hello! I do a lot of reading on here, and have a couple questions that I can't find solid answers to (maybe I'm not searching the right words?). I have a 2003 Expy 5.4L, and I'm wondering if rebuilding my current 5.4L Triton would be worth the time, or if buying a Lincoln Navi 5.4L engine and...

    "Shuddering" and "vibrating" when doing some actions...

    I'll have to have the fluid replaced again then I guess. It's possible that the rear dif is causing the high speed vibration... Anyway, new problem, the transmission was ½ QT low, and the transfer case output seal was leaking. The oil Chang guy checked the level of the transfer case fluid...
