I have definitely experienced the same thing in my '03 EB. Only happens when Im really giving it the beans. Does have high K so shifts are a bit hard at high RPM which is when it squeaks, but so far no issues at all. I did however replace by serp belt recently so I guess there could be some...
I haven't done the hub yet but I have a strong feeling that this is probably the case for me. Regarding the link to provided to the axle kit, is that the correct one with the bag of grease? Doesn't the axle kit include the bearings and stuff?
I really REALLY dont want to rebuild the diff, but...
BUMP for crappy generic Chinese decks that will leave you disappointed... :P
I had a Power Acoustic double din in my Delica which I only bought cause the van was Right-Hand Drive and the stereo had the buttons down the right side which was convenient and ergonomic.
It certainly did everything...
New Ride
2003 Eddie Bauer 5.4L 4x4
190,000mi / 306,000km
Very well maintained but needs a few little things
paid $2k CAD, equivalent of $1470 USD at the moment...
Just a little update.
Jacked up the truck again last night to check the drive shaft input into the diff for play.
Also while it was up I gave the passenger rear wheel a shake side to side and it was tight.
Jacked up the other side to check the drivers rear wheel and... clunk clunk clunk, has...
My old Delica and my new '03 Expy
Out with the old:
My 1994 Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 - Right-hand drive Japanese import (very common in western Canada). Low-range 4x4 w/factory locker. Love and miss my old camping roadtrip mobile. Best part about it was the reactions from other drivers south...
Almost EXACTLY my situation! I picked up a 2003 EB with 190k miles for $2000 a few weeks ago. Good shape and everything works except for the drivers heated seat (which PISSES me off) and the traction control light is flashing... but oh well it was cheap!
Mine was very well maintained by the...
Hey guys, figured Id just start a new thread seen as how all the others I have read don't really fit my issue.
I have a very annoying intermittent humming noise which "seems" to be coming from the front end but then sounds like the back end at speed. Its not that bad, but quite audible...
Ok so small update, I went out and got greasy on my coffee break and followed the steps above from the other post...
I pulled the valve out of the valve cover and held my finger over the tip. Nothing. No suction.
Then I pulled the hose off the top of the valve and TONS of suction...
Thanks a lot! That sounds like a good approach. The truck has 306,000km on it now so I think I might just opt to replace the valve if not the whole thing, as I have a 2000km roadie to go on over Christmas.
I also found this post on another forum that looks very helpful in case anyone is...
I guess I've developed a little oil leak on my '03 5.4L, and oil ends up on the headers/exhaust on the right rear of the motor and smokes up a little. Thought it might be something difficult to isolate (I hate troubleshooting oil leaks).
Any way, I just glanced under my hood after reading a...
Brakes/Calipers
I'm planning on doing my pads and rotors after work today. Got a sweet setup from Maxxbrakes here in Canada for $100 all in (fronts).
Once I get in there, what is the best way to clean/treat the calipers? Would it be best to give them a good soaking with brake cleaner? Is...
Hey guys,
Just wanted to give my $0.02 about serpentine belts and the replacement procedure on my '03 Expy 5.4 EB.
I was checking my pulleys for play yesterday and at first glance the belt looked fine but then I looked closer, holy crap it was missing the entire strip of one of the outer...
Wow thats unreal, good to hear they can last like that. Just gotta keep an eye on everything and keep pouring time and $$$ in I guess.
Just looking on autotrader USA and I am seeing listings for Expo's with well over 300,000 miles, even this one in Alabama with 339k miles 545,000 km...
Mileage
198,000 miles or 306,000 km here in Canada.
Great shape all things considered but starting to smell burning oil and see a little smoke from the right side, fearing the notorious HG leak :Frustrated:
Gotta drive from BC to Alberta at Christmas, hopefully it will be all good!
Whirring/moaning sound under the hood
Im having the same sorta problem.
A moaning sound, more so when the truck is cold, that increases with RPM and in certain RPM ranges.
Have a different humming noise at 80-100kph which Im thinking might be the rear end. Its very much due for a fluid...
OBD Scanner
I bought a Rio Rand RD9 off Amazon
Paired it with the $5 FORScan Ford Diagnostics App and it works great!
Reads all modules, Engine(ECU), ABS, Restraints System.
Great way to spend $18
Another issue solved!
Another very helpful thread.
Went to scan the truck after replacing the fuse box, plugged in the scanner and nothing...
Saw this thread and threw my USB dongle in the power outlet and presto, no light.
Checked fuse 41 (2003 EB 5.4), a 20A fuse. There it was, Blown...
Worked for me!!
Let me say, thank you so much for all the contributions to this thread!!
I had the EXACT same problem as described by all of you. I bought a 2003 Eddie Bauer with 305k km on it, which I was nervous about for sure, but its in amazing shape and runs like new and the edmonds...
