    2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins

    I have been following your build and have a few questions. Why did you pick that yellow color for the bumper. It doesn't match the trim. Also what are you gaining my installing that bumper. Seems like a lot of work. Thanks

    redoing the paint on my decklid, and need some advice

    If it was my truck I would use the primer to even out the the paint and then sand the entire deck. Then put a light coat of primer and sand it with 600 grit. Then paint the base coat and the clear topcoat. You can get decent paint and TC from Automotivetouchup.com for about $40 delivered. I...

    Freshen Her Up

    eluther3 I know what your saying about the durability of the truck. I've owned it for 7 years and it has been very good to me. It only left me stuck one time because of a rusted out break line. All the fluid leaked out and I had no breaks. I had to have it towed to my mechanic and repaired. It...

    How I removed a stripped electrode!

    That sucked that they didn't replace the plugs before installing the engine. They owe you big time. I get involved in repairs too. Things sometimes go wrong and I'm kicking myself. Most times it ends up working out after spending a lot more time then I wanted. Don't be hard on yourself. You...

    cold weather or is it time to replace

    I had the same problem when it got cold with the hood coming down. I ordered the supports that day for $25. I put them in and they work great. You should reconsider your wooden stick decision. It's only inviting a bump on the head. Another thing is when you sell the truck the buyer isn't...

    To paint Expedition in two colors

    I don't think $5000 is a bad price considering all the work that was done. I honestly don't believe it would be much less in the US. Great Job Enjoy the truck!!

    Dull Headlights

    I restored my headlights but still the low beam lights weren't bright enough. I didn't know that the bulbs get dimmer as they age. Though they either worked or they didn't. I bought new bulbs and it made quite a difference. Passing this along because it may help someone else.

    Freshen Her Up

    I had to replace my rocker and have another area with a lot of rust and that is the radiator core support. Expy are know for this and its a pain to repair. The whole front end has to come off to replace it. The rest of the body is in very good condition though. I will probably keep it for at...

    Freshen Her Up

    I'm curious how many miles you put on the truck since you bought it. Did it start to nickel and dime you in the last 3 years? I have an 03 Expy EB and it's been really good with minimal repairs. Current miles is 113500. I have been looking for another SUV but I'm reluctant to get rid of...

    2007 Expy Eddie Bauer - Interior upgrade/replacement options?

    I have that same color interior in mt EB and the steering wheel is leather. Get yourself a good leather cleaner and it should clean up fine. I cleaned mine and it looks great.

    Did I get a good deal?

    It sounds like the vehicle is in very good shape and was taken care of. This would make it worth more than the book value. Expeditions are great trucks.

    Wind noise ... how to find source?

    I've had success stopping wind noise by getting my gloved fingers behind where the gaskets bend and pulling them outward. It may not solve this issue but definitely helps with wind noise.

    Scammed or Clueless? 2009 Expedition

    Everyone wants to know what the dealer told you. I live in CT but wouldn't buy a car out of state unless it was certified. That way you can take it to any company dealer.

    Which year should I go for?

    Any Gen 2 ( 2003-2006) should be fine. Also check the rocker panels and the radiator core support for rust damage. Good Luck

    2018 Expedition Release date

    I'm looking forward to seeing the 18 as well. The problem is the price of a new well equipped Expedition. They are out of range for the average guy. The Tahoes and yukons are even more expensive. Unless your making big bucks buy a used model.

    Tune up or not?

    I would not change the plugs unless it starts to miss. I've had an 03 for 7 years and had a coil go bad and had it replaced. Then another one went out a few months later so I had 8 new plugs and coils put on. It's difficult to change plugs on the 5.4 especially in the rear of the engine.
