Electric Fan Install
Fans have worked flawlessly; it was a good upgrade. These two smaller fans are much quieter than the OEM fans on the wife's '15 Explorer Sport.- donl

Drivers Side Window Trim R/R 2003 Expy+
I see now, the chrome trim you installed fits over the existing black trim. Looks good and something I might do once I get the key pad replaced. Pretty sure existing sill trim is attached with clips but waiting for the new part to arrive to see what type and where the clips are located. -
Drivers Side Window Trim R/R 2003 Expy+
Thanks for the reply. The part I have ordered is the moulding with the kep pad and wire harness integrally attached to the moulding; it snaps in. I did watch a video of the key pad replacement on a 2003 Navigator wherein the guy did not show the R/R of the molding but did comment that the... -
Drivers Side Window Trim R/R 2003 Expy+
Keyless entry pad has failed. I have the correct PN and have watched videos on removing the door panel, disconnecting electrical components, removing the mirror to remove the base window trim but cannot find a video that shows the removal of the black trim that holds the keypad. I have... -
2003 Expedition Rejuvenation
The research I have done does not indiate a requirement to change pistons and/or heads to lower compression ratio. Both of Holder's YouTube videos are of PI and Non PI version and OEM pistons and heads were used in both and both were blown. OEM compression ratio for the 4.6L/2V in the '03 Expy...- donl

2003 Expedition Rejuvenation
It's been a minute or two since I logged in but thought I might share and maybe get some helpful hints on future plans for my old Expy. 03 Expy, 4.6L/2V, lowered, Bilsteins, CA intake, electric fans, under drive pulley, 4:10 differential, shorty headers, Five Star tune, 175K miles and starting...- donl

Help with Motor Build Plan_350-400HP N/A 2nd Gen 4.6L
Thanks, useful information. I am partial to the centrifugal units and wanted a Roush or Pro Charger unit and wanted a "bolt on" solution. I did speak with Pro Charger since their "bolt on" for Expeditions start with the '04 model year; their reply follows: Thanks for your interest in...- donl

Help with Motor Build Plan_350-400HP N/A 2nd Gen 4.6L
Oh, where to begin but I will be brief. I should have pointed out in my first reply to your "get an Ecoboost" reply that you are one of those people that either doesn't read the OP or does read it but decides to post a reply that is not even relative to the OP. It should have been obvious to...- donl

Help with Motor Build Plan_350-400HP N/A 2nd Gen 4.6L
If you are suggesting replacing the '03 Expy with a later model powered by an Ecoboost, out of the question. Not about to spend $70K to replace the '03. The '03 has been well maintained, recently painted, new 22" wheels/tires plus the recent mods previously mentioned as well as mods over the...- donl

Help with Motor Build Plan_350-400HP N/A 2nd Gen 4.6L
Planning to build such a motor for my '03Expy and want to collect any thoughts from forum members that may have experience with building up the 2V 4.6L motor. My first thoughts was, of course, building a nearly stock motor and supercharging but I would only do that if there was a "bolt on"...- donl

Trans Noise_Maybe?
Update Not a trans noise at all; tranny is fine. I finally got the vehicle up on a lift and started pushing, pulling, shaking the exhaust system because that was my first target as the source of the noise. I had tried to do this with the vehicle on the ground but access was limited. I found...- donl

4.6 litre engine
2003 XLT, bought in '03 as a demo with 3K miles on the clock. 160K at this point with no issues, never been in the shop. I have made some modifications under the hood in the last few years. No plugs have popped out, replaced plugs with no issues, replaced alternator, replace leaking...- donl

Trans Noise_Maybe?
New noise that recently presented on my '03 Expy with 160Kmiles. Phone was held just under body from the drivers side. Noise presents when trans is in gear, R or D; still presents in N or P but barely audible. Noise is intermittent and best described as a rattle; sounds a bit like something...- donl
