    checking coils for mis-fire

    Just go to an autoparts store and ask them to read the codes (unless you have a code reader). That will tell you what cylinder(s) is (are) registering a misfire. Your plan should work if the problem is not intermittent. I'd use rubber gloves though.

    Replacing plugs 2003 5.4l

    OK I just replaced 1 plug and 1 COP (with my Bosch plug and cheap COP) on the #5 cylinder (easiest to get to btw) which was the one registering a misfire and the Expedition seems to be driving much better. I did not detect any stumbling at all on my 5 miles test drive. Hopefully that got it! I...

    Replacing plugs 2003 5.4l

    Should I be concerned about breaking the plugs in the 5.4l engine? I have heard that the 2003 are not affected by the plug breaking and I have heard they are. I am going to soak them in WD40 overnight before the change and also going to replace all 8 coils. I found the coils on Amazon for $69...

    2003 EB Air Shocks - what to do with them?

    I converted my 2003 EB 4 wheel air ride suspension to traditional coils. I did it because one of the air-shocks would fill while driving and we were wearing out tires on that corner. Not sure if it was actually leaking or if the hoses were leaking. It never leaked out overnight. All 4 air shocks...

    Which do you prefer for 2nd Row? : 40/20/40 or buckets?

    Depends if you need the room for seating. We need all 8 seats (2,3,3) so I would never remove the 2nd row center seat. But if you don't think you will need this for a person, it makes sense to get rid of it as it doesn't add anything functional.

    Keyless entry

    Also pressing the last 2 at the same time should lock all the doors regardless of what the code is.

    Transmission Slipping?

    When I accelerate in my 2003 EB 4WD I get a slight jerky feeling. Maybe 4-5 jerks. I am pretty sure it has the posi rear as well. There is no loss in power and no engine problems just the jerkiness at startup. Does this sound like the transmission is starting to slip? How much are parts and...

    Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo

    OK I just got done with the lower motor. That might be the easier motor. I don't think you need to remove anything to get to either motor. You can pull out the side enough to get to all 4 screws. The top motor only has 3 screws (this is the floor/roof airflow motor). And yes, I can see why this...

    Air Conditioner Problem Fixed FINALLY

    Sad. Most mechanics are just parts replacement monkeys nowadays. No one knows how to troubleshoot anymore. I blame it on video games.

    Just did the Suncore shock conversion

    ?? Aligned how? They only fit one way? I had the instructions out when I was installing them but did not see anything special about it. Basically it said remove the old ones and install the new ones. This is what you get.... http://www.suncoreindustries.com/instructions/60F-30-4.pdf

    Just did the Suncore shock conversion

    I think it says just turn the system back on. Haven't tried yet I am concerned about getting the solenoid error.

    Air Bag Suspension Question

    My '03 EB 4WD has (had) rear air bags. I just converted all 4 to conventional springs/shocks. I don't think they made any with just fronts. Are you sure it is an '03? I don't think you can convert just 2 of them but maybe you can. You should still have the level sensors, solenoid plug and...

    Just did the Suncore shock conversion

    I just completed the Suncore (SC) shock conversion on my 2003 EB. First wheel (front) took me about 2 hours. The SC shock is longer then stock and you really have to muscle the bottom in to get it lined up so the bolt goes in. 80% of the time was spent just trying to get the bottom of the shock...

    Air Spring to Coil Spring Conversion Kit

    Ball Joint Press Kit Advice

    Will the below kit work for the lower ball joint on a 2003 Expedition 4WD EB? The Fords seem a little funny with special adapters available and I want to make sure I have what I need before I start. Contains 3 receiver tubes measuring 2-3/4 inch I.D. x 3 inch O.D. 2-1/4 inch I.D. x 2-1/2...

    2003 EB Exepedition 4WD Suncore Conversion

    GoodYears with the teflon sides not sure of the model about $225 each. One of the 4x was at the dealer. I got the kit in today and will put it in this weekend. Not sure it is going to help but at least the air compressor will stop coming on.

    2003 Expedition 4x4 Strutmaster Deluxe Kit

    Sorry about this board, it is a little less then useless. I would say just try and do it. Get a Chilton's manual or some other manual for your car. The items you are talking about are relatively easy. I think the ball joint tool is available for sale at most auto parts stores for around $20 or...

    2003 EB Exepedition 4WD Suncore Conversion

    I assume it is always low since the air bag leaks. Would the strut rod bushings be replaced with the kit I bought? The shops around here are ALL crooked, if they could have soaked me for a tie-rod end, they would have. However, they are also incompetent. So I guess it is possible that the...

    2003 EB Exepedition 4WD Suncore Conversion

    Right front tire going bald - wasted 3 tires so far... I have had my right front tire replaced 3 times. I have had the car aligned 4 times. Each time they say it is fine but do it anyway. 4 different shops. The right front air shock is always low, leaking and is always trying to inflate. Would...
