    '03 Engine Upgrade

    Only 90K on my 4.6L '03 but am thinking of what I will do when the engine starts to tire. As I see it, there are two options: 1. Rebuild and upgrade 2. Replace OEM engine with crate motor. I am inclined to go with #1 as I am not sure if there is a crate motor that is a direct "bolt in"...

    Done-Eibach Springs/Sway Bar and Bilsteins

    Just an FYI for anyone considering lowering your vehicle. Made the swap over the weekend and am very pleased with the new look and improved handlling and ride quality. Not low rider low, but low enough that the wife can see the difference and the Expy sits level now. Worth the time and...

    Coil Spring Isolators-Replace or Reuse?

    Replace OEM Radio/CD Player

    2003, 2WD with 65K on the clock; considering a lower kit and have some questions. Anyone that has R/Rd front/rear springs, shocks and/or sway bars is qualified to respond. 1. This looks like an 8-12 hour job for a first timer; is it? 2. Double wishbone w/coil overs, so the process looks like...

    Trip Meter Resets

    Any idea why my trip meter has started resetting to 0.0 on startup? The battery still starts the vehicle but I can tell it is laboring and probably won't make the summer; could the drain at startup cause the reset? The total mileage meter is operating properly and if I leave it set there, the...

Are there any sysem issue that would prevent dropping a re-built 5.4 into my '03 to replace the current 4.6? Like ECM issues (I know I would need a tune) but I wouldn't...

    Heads and Cams

    The fresh air intake and exhaust mods are good but to get some real perormance out of the 4.6L, I am thinking headwork and cams. Anybody here done that?

    Novice Needs Guidance

    Getting ready to start upgrading my '03 4.6L; nothing radical, just looking for a little more snap and mpgs. Starting with air intake/TB spacer and cat back system before moving on to UD pulleys and electric fan(s) and somewhere in there a chip. I ride Harleys and build my engines so tools...
