    What has happned in the absence of having a camera to document my mods

    Looks like a traffic cone. But like you said, all that matters is if he likes it. A lot of people don't understand me lowering my Expy, but it's what I wanted. Victor

    Which Expy do I need?

    I'd say go for a first gen, '97-02. The only serious lifts I've seen for the second gen Expy's, '03-'06, are pretty pricey. And as for mileage, my wife's 1998 has 212,000 and runs like a champ. I wouldn't be to worried about high mileage. Victor

    Broke bolt for coil pack?

    Use the Dremel to cut a slot in it then just use a flathead screwdriver to remove. It shouldn't be that big of a deal if you cut a little into the part surrounding the bolt. I've had good luck doing it like this. Victor

    What did you do to the expy today

    Took my Father in-law out today looking for tires for his Suburban and got stuck when my brake light switch went out in my '03 and wouldn't let it shift out of park. Had my wife bring me the part, $50 and 2 minutes later we were back on the road. Then later took my wife's '98 to the car wash...

    Hey Guys Does any one have a Manual Climate Control?

    My wife's '98 EB has that setup. So they are out there. Check your local junk yards. Victor

    Your vehicle, as it sits now, post pics

    I don't know what's up with it. When I view it on my phone through Tapatalk it looks fine. I didn't know what you were talking about until I got on the computer. Victor

    Gotts Mod '03 weird intake question

    It mainly removes this piece. Which, while it has almost a 3" outlet, has less than a 2" inlet. Doing this mod removes that restriction while still getting cooler air from between the fenders as opposed to the warmer air inside the engine compartment. While it may not look as good as the...

    Gotts Mod '03 weird intake question

    Ok, here's a few more pictures. I tried to get one showing how the pipe stops in between the fender and inner fender. I also used a pipe with a thinner wall so I could squeeze it into the opening. Some people dremmel the opening bigger, I chose to squeeze in the pipe. It was basically just...

    My '03 lowering adventure

    I don't have any pictures of the process but it was fairly straightforward. It was 3 15mm nuts on top of the strut mount and a 30mm nut and bolt on the bottom of the strut. To get the fronts out I unbolted the top ball joint so the spindle would be able to move out of the way and the upper...

    Gotts Mod '03 weird intake question

    It will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. I'll take a better picture during the day also. I don't see why ABS wouldn't work. Victor

    Mine had that too. It comes right out. Here's what I did. Sorry for the quality, it's dark in my garage right now. And the piece I removed. Victor

    IAC Valve question- Thermo?

    I replaced the one on my wife's '98 not that long ago. It really wasn't that bad. If I can do it with my T-Rex arms, anyone can do it. Victor And this solved a very similar issue with her truck.

    FYI - 2015 Ford Expedition to get 5.0 liter 32-valve Ti-VCT V-8

    So more paint peeling issues? Victor

    Grille Guards and Replacing Headlights

    Not to be an a$$hole but it would be beneficial to you if you at least posted the year of your truck or exact model you are looking at. It would be even better if you posted a picture of the exact one you are looking at. You won't get many responses when you are asking guys to search around...

    I'll be honest, and I didn't think I'd like it, but it looks really good. Victor

    Going VERTICAL!!!

    What are you doing with your horizontal grille? I'd be interested if you're selling them. They look like they'd fit a Super Duty and not an Expy. Looking forward to see them installed. Victor

    Lowered Alignment ?'s

    So I just dropped my '03 as was detailed in my other thread and used the included camber kit that came with the Ground Force drop springs. From what they told me when I got the alignment, I am within factory spec now and all but don't have much more room for adjustment at this point if I were...

    Cooling issues

    How's your oil level? There are only so many components in the cooling system. You've ruled out the thermostat by replacing it. When he put water/coolant in it, how low was it? If it was really low, I'd say you have a leak somewhere, water pump, a hose, or radiator. If it wasn't low, and he...

    hit the desert on the way home from work

    Looks like fun. From my experience, when you start to find limits on your vehicle(speed, ground clearance, articulation, decibel level, whatever else suits your fancy), you quickly find the limits in wallet. Victor

    Mine stick out a little also, but I have no problems with rubbing if that's what you are worried about. Victor

    My '03 lowering adventure

    Sorry for the long post but here goes. So this was one big ordeal but I am pretty happy with where I'm at right now (except I want to go even lower now). So after I determined that there are really only 2 kits to lower a 4wd 2nd gen Expedition I decided to go with the Ground Force kit. The...
