    Exhaust Manifold Replacement

    Hey guy, I recently bought an 07 EL Limited, low mileage and very clean inside and out. But it has the exhaust manifold leak that mostly seals itself as it warms up. I've been reading up on replacing them and was wondering if any of you guys considered upgrading the manifolds to headers? Are...

    all headlights stopped working

    I found the problem. I had ordered the service manuals including the wiring manual, read up on the system and had my multimeter in hand and was ready to test each circuit in the system. When I removed the headlight lenses, it was clear these were not original headlights. The previous owner had...

    all headlights stopped working

    Thanks for the info guys. I don't think it's the multifunction switch because the other functions it does do work. The high beam indicator lights up, the fog lights go off, etc. I suspect its the relays but I could not find which relay(s) it was online. Do you guys know which relay(s) to...

    all headlights stopped working

    Hello all, I bought a 2007 El Platinum in great shape with low milage at a great price 2 weeks ago. About a week later I noticed the high bean switch wasn't working. The indicator on the dash lit up and the fog lights went out but the lights didn't change. Two days later I was having a friend...

    Service Advancetrac

    Hello all, It's time to retire my 2003 Expedition. I bought her new and she now has 325k miles on her. She has served me very well and has been a huge blessing for my family and many others we have helped. But she's all original and is starting to show her age. My only complaint with her was...

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    Hello Everyone, Well its time to upgrade my ride. Love my 03 XLT and I have 320,000 mostly trouble free miles on her but she's starting to show her age. I'm now looking for a 3rd gen Extended Length and was hoping for some insight on what's good and what to watch out for. Thank you all, Bob

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    Hello everyone. I'm in NJ where the state uses liquid ice melt on the highways and towns use varieties of rock said. I was just under my 2003 Expedition XLT and it has bad rust everywhere. It's really bad on the pillar where the upper control arms and struts mount so that's another place to...

    Feedback on Extended Length Expeditions

    Hello everyone, I have a 2003 XLT with the 5.4 and 4WD. Bought it new October 2003 and now have just over 300k miles on it. I love the truck and how it drives and the size and utility of it. My only complaint was there was not much room behind the 3rd row seats, I could not fit the double...

    fuel pump shut off switch bad??

    I don't know your full history but I had a problem with my 03 Expedition stalling sometimes. Sometimes it would start again in minutes, other times not. It was definitely fuel related and I had the fuel pump replaced but that didn't resolve the problem. After reading, I jumped the fuel pump...

    Need your opinions...

    Thank you all for your input. After checking the prices of used 2nd gen Expeditions that are running and can be test driven, I see that wasn't as much of a bargain as I thought so I passed... I appreciate the input from everyone... ps. My '03 Expy is over 300K now!!!

    18 Expy/Navi Est. Gas Mileage Figures

    That seems like little if any improvement over the V8s. So why did they go with the V6s?
