Update
Well today, I reconnected battery and took a ride and it seems everything is back to normal. I will have to wait a couple weeks till I can do something about the windshield. I will just cover it with a piece of plastic if we get anymore rain until it gets resealed. I have had the truck...
Hey, I know mine was built in Wayne Michigan. Delivered to Pat Mc Crackin Ford, Dewitt, Michigan.
My Dome lights do not come on when you open the doors. I don't know why, doesn't matter to me anyway.
My truck was built August 99. The door tag DSO say spr15 whatever that means.
My truck has...
Baker, My Digital Camera is missing, so the pictures will have to wait till I find it. I see on the original build sheet that it was delivered to a dealership in Michigan but I know often times that dealers swap unsold vehicles. I ran the Vin number on CarFax and I am the 2nd owner. I know from...
I have the original window sticker and it list all the equipment and options and it does not say anything about Police Package on the build sheet. It is a nicely equiped ride and it was well taken care of. I hope to have it for a long time.
My truck was owned by a TN county sherriffs department but it was an undercover unit. drug squad I would guess. It has extremely dark window tinting and still has the wires for the police radio equipment just not the radios.
The original poster should have asked how many people own an Expy with...
Update! Well today 2 days later I hooked up the battery cables and went for a drive. I still have some issues but better than last time I drove it. After I stopped for fuel and then restarted the truck everything was back to normal but being overly cautious when I parked her in the driveway I...
Thanks guys, That is my plan, get the windshield resealled first and then go from there. I for now have the battery disconnected to keep it from running down. Hopefully, it will be salvageable because I am finding that even used they are pricey. Time will tell.
Thanks for responding. I will be calling a couple of local windshield places tomorrow about the windshield. I have taken the battery cables loose and I will just have to wait until the rain stops and things have a chance to dry out before I mess with the GEM. I hope I do not have to replace the...
Well my day started off great. I had a dead battery. It is raining today. After doing the things you normally do to get the thing started I discovered that I had electrical gremlins that at first I thought must be due to truck resetting the computer. I went for a ride thinking it would clear up...

Hey Guys, I have been doing some more contemplation about my engine swap.
Your thoughts about a different plan I am contemplating.
How about if I forget the engine swap into my Expedition alltogether.
Now, I am contemplating buying a later generation Ford Bronco 4 X...
Hey Baker, Yes, I did consider doing a frame swap but or using an older Bronco but anything one does will have pluses and minuses to it, Nice Dogs. I have an 11 year old male Jack Russell Terrorist (Terrier) and 2 mixed breed Beagle/? that someone was nice enough to dump off out here in the...
Hey Baker, Im a transplant here in TN, I live in the middle of nowhere between
Nashville and Knoxville. I did consider using another vehicle but I like most of you guys love my Expedition and for me being also a dog owner of 3 dogs who like to ride it is a perfect vehicle.
Hey, Tom, Thanks for your insight, yes, I did consider the fabrication required to install either the 390 I have or a Cummins 4bt, I also was already aware of the other cylinder heads and while I could install those heads it still does not negate my dislike for aluminum cylinder heads and...
I had a 390 I rebuilt in a 1968 Ford F100 with a 3 speed column shift (They suck) Was a great engine but the truck was lucky to get 14 mpg.
I know Diesel is higher than gas but if I can go from my current 13mpg to around 25 mpg the cost of the fuel would be worth it and if I wanted to use WVO...
Well, I have been doing research on other sites and a 2003 Expedition has been done using a Cummins 4bt with a manual transmission and his biggest fabrication issue was notching the oilpan to clearance his fron axle (4wd). I have found that there were several equipment manufacturers who had...
Revival of old thread.
I read about the guy doing a swap of a Cummins 4bt into his 2003 Ford Expedition and since I want to get away from the Triton Motors with their problematic aluminum heads and I was originally thinking about a 390 swap but after stumbling on the Cummins 4bt swap I started...
Something I had not heard about Cummins 4bt swap
I know I started the thread with the thought of a old school 390 but I had not done any research on You-Tube.
How about a Cummins 4bt swap? I found a video of a F150 with a 6bt swap but I think the 4bt that I found swapped into several other...
I am contemplating doing an engine swap in my 2000 Expedition when the factory engine needs to be replaced.
I have the 5.4 Eddie Bauer Edition that is AWD.
I know that there has been discussion about diesel swaps, lightning swaps and swaps of late model engines but I want to swap an older...
I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer Edition Expedition and have some questions about the factory sound system.
My vehicle has the Mach system with factory 6 disc CD changer.
I have not been really impressed with this system because it does not have any bass response at all even when you add bass at the...
sorry, I forgot where I found the link exactly but it was on the Ford website. The problem was with the way the cruise control is wired and the fix only takes them about 15 minutes to do. They did something to the wiring under the hood at the brake master cylinder is all I know. The local Ford...

I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition that will soon need new tires. I am considering buying 4 new Yokahama Geolander ATS tires. My Expedition has 265-70-r16 tires on factory rims. Anyone ever use these tires? I also have considered buying Uniroyal Laredo AWT's and BF Goodrich Mud Terrains, I...
