    A mechanic and 450 bucks later

    There are no spark plug wires since every cylinder has its own coil. (5.4L). Did he replace the coil too? It still seems on the expensive side though. Bob

    piece of crap.

    I hate to say it but the 03s especially the older ones and some of the 04s (I owned one of those) were nothing but crap. I have owned 5 Expys and the 07 EL Limited I just bought seems to be the best yet. My 2000 was the best vehicle I ever owned. We'll see how this measures up. 03 and...

    transmission

    My 2004 tranny failed at 33000 miles. They had to rebuild the entire thing (note-not replace). My trany did not have a knocking noise, it's not normal. Bob

    Loud grinding noise within seconds of start up 2005 XLT

    It's a common thing. My 2004 does it after it sits a while. There is talk about it on other sites. It's got something to do with the lubricant in the AC compressor loading up. If it is this it makes a horrible metallic grunt sound when first starting the engine. If it is air shock related...

    front air conditioner not working properly

    This sounds like the dreaded blend door problem. The blend door for the cold and hot air may be stuck because the shaft is broken. Very frequent problem as the vehicle ages. You may want to search on it here and at other sites. Bob

    Cabin Air Filter

    He's right. If you wanted it you had to have it installed by the dealer. I had two done (1999 and 2000) then just gave up on it with my 2004. Bob

    Join the club. Mine as noises too, in the drivers door. I lube with silicon and it lasts for 4 months or so. This shouldn't be. My 2000 Expy was quiet the day I traded it at 76000 miles. Bob

    I need another key!

    If you only have one key you do need to go to the dealer. That year won't allow the addition of another programmed key unless you have the first two. If you had two keys, then programming instructions for additional keys can be found in the manual. It's quite simple to do. But you need two...
