    2005 EB/Limited running board question

    The running boards on my Limited have a rubber step on top. The rest of it is painted to match the finish of the truck

    Rear end differential metal

    Yeah. I hadd mine replaced 3 times in my 03 and the front diff was rebuilt once. Had to take it in a 4th time cause the axle seals started to leak. I was not a happy camper. I finally dumped it for a 2005. Best thing I could have done.

    Rearend whine '03

    I went through 3 rearends and one rebuild of the front differential. I was not happy...but it was covered under warranty. I finally traded the 03 (because of to many problems)for an 05 and I couldn't be happier.

    Consumer Report for 1998 - 2005 Expedition

    They must have compared a RSC model to the standard 03 model which did not have this option. I can tell you, it is worth the money.

    Supercharger, turbo, whats best?

    True to a certain extent. A turbo will always be better because it is free power (driven by exhaust). Turbo technology has grown to such an extensive market that the days of "turbo Lag" are all but tuned out by technology. Plus a broken belt on a turbo vehicle will not leave you stranded...

    Condensator - Heard of It?

    Oh brother...don't waste your money. It's basically an oil catch can. You can make one out of parts from Home Depot.

    My new 2005 Limited

    20's ride smoother than the 22's IMHO. Plus they are cheaper to replace. :p

    tailight modification

    Not really a fan of the white tailights. Especially on Black vehicles. They look better when they are tinted darker IMHO.

    My new 2005 Limited

    THIS is a nice truck. Got all the same features as my 03 plus the Advance Trac. Of course I kept the Motto rims and tires.

    03 expedition EB front brakes

    Yup, the spring clip is a PITA. You can also go to (online also) Autozone and get pads there for around $35.00. They are low dust as well.

    Just FYI. You can get Duralast Gold DG934 brakes from Autozone.com. $30.00 out the door. NO DUST! You can order them online from their website. Lifetime warranty.

    k&n filters

    I had one in my 2003. I did get better gas mileage with it. Now I just need to get one for the my 05. They are completely different.

    New '05 - reverse sensing too quiet?

    Hmmm... I just bought an 05 and I can't notice any difference from my 03.

    Grinding metal sound after start up 2005 XLT

    It is the compressor clutch engaging. They are metal to metal clutch and work by magnetism when you click the system on. I had the same thing happen on my 2003. It was still doing it at 55K miles before I traded it in for an 05. The only way i found around it was to ensure the AC was off...

    Can't figure this one out...

    Rear Diff limited slip clutch pack. Had the samething. I thought it was something with the front brakes. I changed the brakes and then took it to the dealer and complained. They TRIED to tell me it was a bad brake install and that my rotors were worn. Mind you I never even had the rotors...

    How long should by brakes last?

    Did mine at 30 k also. I bought some lifetime replacement pads through Autozone. No dust, no problems. Very easy to do.

    brakes

    Good info. Look at the back of the rotor and you will see the "min Thickness" stamped into the casting. Then have the shop measure the rotors right there when you drop them off. This way you know what how close you are to replacement. Typically .003-.005 is taken off each side to true the...

    '03 Exped driver window went down but not up ... occasionally

    The regulator broke inside. The guy grabbed the window and moved it side to side in the track and told me it was broke.

    Rear Differential Whine

    These gears wearout every 10,000 miles it seems. The last time I brought mine in for the whine (3rd ring and pinion) the service manager told me there is new gearset part # that Ford released. I have about 8,000 miles on it now. Just got it back because they had to replace the clutch pack in...

    Anyone ever put tire cahins on the front of their 2003-2005 Expeditions? If you did what make are they and how do you get them to clear the front suspension?
