    2004 Performance differences

    Ok I just totalled my 2003 5.4 2WD two weeks ago. I got it with 136K miles and totalled with 162K miles. During that time I added a Spintech exhaust, GOTTS mod, new COP's and plugs, and kept it tuned. Now last night I purchased a 2004 5.4 4WD, with 102K miles. It's got the same gears and...

    Slow to shift between 2WD and 4WD

    Just bought an 04 Expedition 5.4 with 103,000 miles. It was a lease vehicle that had supposedly one owner, all maintenance was kept up since the lease holder was paying for it. The transfer case takes forever to shift into 4L and out of 4L. Sometimes it says your in 4L, and you start to drive...

    05+ Instrument Cluster in older trucks

    I didnt get the Spintech since it was buried in the junk pile of cars, but I'll get a new one. I'm going to try dual outlet this time. The muffler shop I used was sure they could put two pipes over the axle where the existing single pipe is, just a lot of patience to do it right.

    05+ Instrument Cluster in older trucks

    I'm in the process of getting a 2004 EXP but after all the shopping and comparing, I want a 2005 style instrument cluster. I had a 2003 for a couple years until I totalled it two weeks ago....So this time I was shopping for the newer 2005 and up but couldn't afford one with all my options...

    Coolant Temp Indicator Problems

    Just recently I was driving home, and the truck was running wierd. I looked and the temp gauge was right in the center like usual. Then I smelled antifreeze, gauge still reading normal. I have the "Torque" OBD II application on my phone and used it to read the trucks computer sensors. That's...

    High Idle after TPS change

    Today I noticed the TPS sensor was reading 20% at idle. I took the sensor off and it dropped to 3% when not mounted, but unfortunately it's not adjustable. When I was trying to reinstall it, I somehow broke it and the internal stop is broken. I had to get another one. On the new one, I...

    Fuel pump questions

    My gauge works fine, I just want to replace the pump if possible. If the gauge breaks then I'll worry about it. However I don't have any extra $300+ laying around to spend on parts I don't need. I'd like to buy just the pump, and there's some sellers who have aftermarket high flow pumps for...

    Fuel pump questions

    I have a 2003 expedition. The pump is around $300 for a pump and sender assy. Can I just purchase the pump itself and reuse the sender? I can't find a part number for the pump itself. There's a bunch of aftermarket companies selling them but they fit 97-03 model, and I think that's completely...

    Engine Randomly dies but then restarts

    Thanks I'll check my grounds to the computer. The fuel filter isn't old, and I doubt it would run perfect and then randomly run at idle only, then snap back to running perfectly again, if it was a filter. If anyone's ever tried unhooking their fuel pump while engine running, to empty the fuel...

    spintech mufflers

    Not really any noticeable droan so far. With the two rear cats deleted it definitely got louder, but just a healthy crisp sounding engine. Before it was a generic sounding V-8, now it's got a little more rumble when stepping on it. My mpg is better too.

    Engine Randomly dies but then restarts

    I was driving 60 mph with cruise set, for about 15 min and suddenly the engine just about shut off. After losing about 5 mph it jumped back to life. About 20 min later I was at McDonalds idling in the parking lot, suddenly it drops to 300-400 rpm and will not respond to the gas pedal. Did...

    which muffler

    I second the Spintech Mufflers. I went with mine thanks to Tallsville's recommendation. I've read some very well written reviews on some mustang and other race forums where they compared the CFM of flow of several brands. Spintech was better than most other brands, except they also provided a...

    Bad cops

    Well, I looked closer at my defective cop, and see its the wrong part number. It belongs on an escape. Either way, all my other $5 cops are way out of spec too. I got them from some online wholesale parts website. It has a constant rough intermittent idle. Used to idle perfect. From now on I'll...

    Bad cops

    Just wanted to update anyone who needs to get cops. I suspected a bad cop, and found a place online of course. The random misfire problem didn't change, and I spent hours trouble shooting. I tried pressure cleaning injectors, changing all the plugs (again), found a minor head gasket leak with...

    4R70W VS 4R75W replacement

    My 2003 2wd is starting to have trans problems. Just planning ahead and was thinking if it might be possible to upgrade to the 4R75W as a replacement when it does fail. I was gonna look for a used one, and rebuild it myself. The engine is stock and has 155,600 miles. Are there any tranny...

    Wood Grain Factory Steering Wheel

    I saw a factory steering wheel in wood grain on another expedition that was for sale. I love the look, how do I get one for mine? How many people have one on theres, is it common in junk yards?

    top coat wax

    I've tried quite a few high dollar and low budget sealers and waxes, and finally have my own favorite for the last few years. I mainly use Rejex sealant, and sometimes top it with Poorboys blue/dark carnauba for a little extra show/gloss. Living in Florida I've always had trouble keeping wax...

    Wet tire? or bright black clean rubber?

    For the last year I've been happy with the Meguiars water based dressing. Since it's water based, it won't cause long term damage to the rubber. I bought mine in a gallon jug from Autogeek. It's packaged as concentrate, and you can water it down to make it less glossy as you prefer. It looks...

    Best way to clean engine?

    I'm with the guys who had problems with water and COP's. Every car I've owned I've been able to degrease and hose down the engine with zero problems- until the expedition. I found out the hard way last week that water and COP's don't mix. It was badly misfiring on several cylinders. Each time I...

    Lighting under the running boards

    I'm looking for some LED's that are long enough to place under the running boards and connect them to the mirror puddle courtesy lights. The mirror light is kind of useless, but the under running board lights should look nice, and actually have some function.

    Need '03 Eddie Bauer Tan Leather Front Seat Cover

    I looked at that link and I'm kind of surprised that it's that expensive for only the bottom half. It's not going to match the top half since it's not the same age. I looked on ebay and don't see the factory replacements, but did find others I like better. The two tone black/tan covers are awesome.

    Chrome Liftgate Trim?

    Ok I found the lift gate chrome, but not the mirrors. Also can't find the mirror turn signal clear lenses.

    Expy broke into the 12's

    That's a sweet ride. A vehicle that does everything you want comfortably, can tow, and run 12's. My old Pontiac ran low 12's and had the same exact 60 ft launch time. It only weighed 3400 lbs. The difference with my car was we had 87 mph in the 1/8 mile, and 109 mph at the top end. Obviously you...

    Chrome Liftgate Trim?

    The newer models have a beautiful chrome trim in the center of the lift gate. My 2003 does not have that, but looks to me like I could swap one out with my plane jane blue one. Do they interchange? IF not, do they make an aftermarket one for mine?... Also, I want chrome mirror covers and...

    Pillar Gauges

    In addition to Dale's question, I'd like to know what gauges people are using in their pillars. I'd like a tranny temp gauge, and maybe air/fuel ratio.
