    I just about hate ford right now... More I read in other forums though the more I think there is a slight chance my problem could be as simple as bad VCT solenoids Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Easier said than done... Hear they usually run people well over $1000 just in labor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After a lot of research I am leaning toward the VCT solenoids Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Maybe cam phasers? Timing chain?

    Didn't really drop in RPMs so just knocking like that while in drive and stopped and it went away in park... My mechanic buddy owns a shop where they're done several cam phasers on the 5.4s and he says if I'm lucky it could be the two VCT solenoids and I should start there by changing the two of...

    Check charging system

    Mine was doing the exact same thing and in a matter of days my alternator almost completely died... My guess, do like I did and change the alternator then get the battery checked at a shop, I went with a 150 amp from DB electrical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Upper Control Arm Bushings / HD Control Arm?

    What year is your expy? Mine is an 06 and my part numbers were like RK80716 and RK80717 if I remember right? I picked mine up from an auto parts store that distributes MOOG parts Edit: I see it up top... Yours is an 03 so he's those should be the correct part numbers that you have just...

    Upper Control Arm Bushings / HD Control Arm?

    Not too sure on poly bushing replacements if buying separately but rockauto might be a good tool to use there. Keep in mind the ball joint is under a bit of stress now that it's lifted and still running stock length arms, a good strong ball joint would be something to consider as well... One of...

    Upper Control Arm Bushings / HD Control Arm?

    I like the MOOG control arms I put on my truck when I installed my 3/2 level... They come with bushings and ball joints and MOOG usually guarantees OEM quality or better... After about 3000 miles they're doing excellent! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear window weather stripping

    Nice and with pulling back the weather stripping it just fits on how it was or do I need to put some adhesive on there? Thanks for the help by the way and apologize for somewhat thread jacking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Largest tire size for stock Ford Expedition 2003 4x2 no lift?

    They seem ok but I think it ends there.. Ok... I tend to see a lot of truck running the trail blades when they have 24" rims on the truck and want to stretch a 35" tire to fit which isn't a good idea in the first place but they hold up pretty well from what I've heard and they look just like...

    3/2 lift help!

    I had extreme issues getting mine in as well... Ended up having help from someone and had them stick he Jack handle (large pry bar) against the cross member and lower control arm (with everything properly unbolted) and I was able to bang the thing in with a mallet was REAL tough to get it in...

    roof rack area

    My 2006 had factory rails on it just like most Expys... The Yakima basket I got (megawarrior) came with all mounting hardware and I bought the locks separately on Amazon... Great basket again though if you're considering it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
