    Puzzled about my 4X4....

    See my response in the thread "4x4 non-engaging problem". I sent some files that may help, or at least generate some other questions that I can respond to from the service manuals I have.

    Rim Opinion

    Good job with the photoediting to get them onto your truck. You may want to use some common tools in the photoediting programs that will change the colors of areas....so that you can make them look chrome. In terms of the style, it depends upon the look you wnat for the truck. In my humble...

    4x4 non-engaging problem

    I have included a few files in zip format to helpfully explain the functioning of the transfer case. The files themselves are in .pdf format. I was able to pull the information off of a repair CD that I bought from Ebay. I checked, and there aree a few on Ebay right now (just search for: Ford...

    4x4 jus stoped HELP

    I didn't know what "dubs" meant, so I did a google search and: http://dubsplus.com/ where you can see tons of pics. I have seen a lot of these around, and I do not care for them as well. Kinda reminds me of those body builders that only work on their upper body. Huge chest, massive...

    Puzzled about my 4X4....

    I also have a '98 EB. You should definitely hear a "clunk" when going to 4HI, and another when going to 4LO. Remember, you have to put the gear shift into neutral before the truch with shift to 4LO. The easiest manual to get the schematics is going to your auto store and buying a Haynes...the...

    Load Levelizer runs alot

    I have two Ford dealerships in my area, and not one of them is worth a cr@p. They have never been able to do anything but find a way to charge me money. I have since found a local shop where they go WAAAAY out their way to fix and solve problems, and for a better price. I did though, need an...

    Tires

    Ken, I have nothing but great experiences with the BFG Goodrich All-Terrain TA KO's. It is an LT tire, can be aired down quite a bit if you need to, is quite aggressive, and wears well. It has great ratings ratings (check out http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/index.jsp) I think your...

    Heres some old pictures of my old Expedition thought id share

    Regarding the tires, I really have not noticed much change. I suppose it has decreased the speed by a couple of mph, but since the tire OD is only about 0.5" larger, it is not a drastic change. The big difference is that they are LT's and not P type, so the ride is stiffer as they are not as...

    Front tires rumbling in turns?

    Are you rubbing against anything??? A year ago, I installed the Ford molded mud flaps on my '98 EB. One day I was turning hard and freaked out when I heard what you are describing. I checked around with the tires turned hard left/right and found the tires just slightly rubbing on one side on...

    Load Levelizer runs alot

    I don't have the system, but two points: 1) You have to make sure the compressor is still capable of putting out the pressure and air volume. The pistons/valves may be leaking causing problems. Try testing the compressor outlet with a pressure gauge to see if it gets to rated pressure ever...

    overdrive won't shift

    Don't know if this applies, but there are quite a few threads on this forum that suggest a tranny power flush helps with TC issues. I have mine flushed every year (overkill maybe, but cheap insurance as far as I am concerned), '98 EB with 85,000...no issues.

    Heres some old pictures of my old Expedition thought id share

    Great pics!! I like the one (and you are bold for posting it!!) pic of you stuck in sand. Glad to see you had a pull to get out. Reminds me of a time in the sand of the NC Outer Banks. 15 years and never got stuck......and then it happened. The great quote from the grizzly park ranger that...

    Best Drive Setting?

    I found the following excerpt from Autoworld.com. It is for a '99 Exby, but I think it applies to the '03 as well: "A4WD, in which Control Trac automatically selects between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive as needed. The transfer case monitors drive-shaft speed and reports the onset of...

    interior lights and door ajar

    I have read many posts where people simply spray the switches with WD40 or some other lubricant to keep the door/lift gate switches from sticking.

    Ceramic Brake Pads and cross drilled rotors

    I would like some feedback on this myself. I take my truck offroad, but not a lot, so the brakes will see sand (beaches) dirt and mud (trails), and I did not want to put on slotted or crossdrilled, because I reasoned it just provided more places for crud to build up and get jammed into, causing...

    Brake dust pad replacement

    Look at Raybestos or similar CERAMIC pads. I have them on my '98 Exby, and dusting has been extremely minimal. If you buy Ford OEM, I am sure that they will not be any better and they will cost a lot more. I believe I have seen posts where they have them for the '03s.

    Relocate oil filter on '03 EXPY

    JayP, I am almost 100% positive that it would fit (or one from another vendor). I believe that the oil bypass adapters are actually smaller than the filters themselves. The "hard" part is finding where to put the remote oil filter mount...which can't be that hard. In terms of the filter itself...

    Removing Rear Interior Quarter Panels

    BikeRider, I bought a Ford Exby Shop CD off of Ebay for about $15. It has really saved me a few times, and it shows exactly how to remove these panels (mine is for the '98 though), as well as a bunch of other good stuff as well!!!

    Relocate oil filter on '03 EXPY

    From what I have seen/read, the only time Ford put in the remote oil filter mount was when the Exby's can with the factory tow package (like mine). I can only assume that this is true with the '03's as well. In any case, the remotely mounting the oil filter is fairly easy, and you can get the...

    vent fog

    John, Sorry, but I think you have a leaking heater core (ouch!!!). Not quite an easy fix, as there is A LOT to remove to get it repaired (in/under dash, A/C line removal, heater line removal, some electric, etc.). I am sure you will get some more replies, but this sounds like one to bring...
