    camber on 03 expedition 4wd

    Let me start by saying I am confused. I have searched the forum and numerous vendors sites, but can't figure out exactly what each kit takes care of. Pretty much only can find part numbers. In searching forums I found part numbers for Moog camber kits of K8740 ($16.11 ea.) for the front...

    squeaky and rattle noise

    So many items it could be. lets start by narrowing down a few things. Does it do it in 2wd , 4hi and awd mode? does it start around a certain mph? with windows down driving in quiet area can you pinpoint which corner the sound is coming from. sometimes helps to have friend on side of...

    It's time to convert

    Well here we are 5 months down the road since I did the conversion. Just wanted to give a little update. I am absolutley impressed. I have re-torqued bolts a couple times just to be on the safe side. But still no issues. The ride height hasn't really settled much. The conversion was one...

    I did not try it either. I may see what happens. Right now I just have my switch off.

    It's time to convert

    And the coil conversion with the 3.5/2.5 kit is done. No major issues. No replacement part runs everything was in good shape. Wife is extremely happy with its new stance. Sits about 6" higher right now as it did with the airbags. Just wonder how much it will settle down. I just always...

    It's time to convert

    Did you install yourself? The reason I ask is I wonder if I need to get a spring compressor to collapse enough to get springs and spacers in . I know watching video u dont need it for just coil overs but since im adding spacers wanted to be sure i have them on hand. Received all my parts...

    It's time to convert

    I am really hoping mine comes with the instr. to remove the check sus message. I have found quite a bit on here regarding the gen 1's But did not see it for gen 2. Is your expy a gen 2? As far as plastidip, I think a matte black would look good. We have the dark grey expy XLT and...

    It's time to convert

    Yeah that's what I went with is the red eibach springs. At least that is what it said in the auction. Figured for an extra $100 the lifetime warranty was nice. The black ones in the pics just didn't look as heavy duty. Hopefully over the next week the expy (or should I say wife's expy)...

    It's time to convert

    Don't I feel stupid. I had read through many of the threads about the conversion over the past few months. I had seen good things about Strutmasters. I just knew I could not afford their website pricing right now for the better set with the eibachs. low and behold...

    Rough idle? P0171, P0174? Here's what you need to check first!!!

    You guys Rock!!! I have been chasing this CEL for quite some time. getting a 171 code and that's all. 2003 expy with 5.4. As scotts bro said 03 is slightly different than what has been posted on here but same place. Felt around the hose and slowly moved it and heard a huge hiss...

    It's time to convert

    Well the time has come for the suspension conversion. Compressor is growling and think I have bag that has a leak in front. Have to say I think I will miss the air ride comfort. Its a 2003 Expy 4wd. Done several upgrades to it over the past year or so and was dreading this. I was...

    Auxillary Optima yellow top battery 03 expy xlt

    Good discussion going on. So now I am getting a little confused here. How critical is a deep cycle if power will be shut off 10 minutes after engine is killed?

    Auxillary Optima yellow top battery 03 expy xlt

    I think it is the worth the money to get the tray from wrangler. I dont think I will get the extras from them though because of cost. Will probably piece stuff out. I read in another post I could buy just the tray. Now with the redtops, can they take discharge very well? I will have a relay...

    Auxillary Optima yellow top battery 03 expy xlt

    I never would have thought of turning the factory location sideways. great thought. I will measure it up. I did not know that about the differences in isiolator. After looking, I may go with Warns isolator. It is resonably priced and has pretty good reviews and it appears it is not like...

    Auxillary Optima yellow top battery 03 expy xlt

    I am going to be installing an the optima yellow top battery and will probably be going with the Painless Wiring and Isolator. My question is on the mounting location. I had thought about installing it in the very back end. But, with all the other video components, I hate to take up space in...

    ouch!

    Glad to be here

    Yeah I am going to be near stock. Cat back, possibly CAI. Mainly just looking at stuff that will give us better highway mileage that will pay for itself. We live so far out in the country we drive 20 minutes to get to town.

    Glad to be here

    Thanks SG, Really glad to be in the presence of such a knowledgeable bunch of folks. I am hoping it will be shorter than 75 days, but if it goes longer, oh well. Its worth it to save on insurance because with 3 young kids in the car, my wife is a pretty cautious safe driver. The only bad...

    Glad to be here

    I seatrched the website this morning. I thought it was just me not coming up with it. So plans will change. I will do some research on the ones you mentioned. I have 75 days before I can use one anyways. I assume they plug into the diagnostic port. We just plugged in the progressive snapshot...

    what price did you pay for your expy?

    2003 XLT leather 5.4, towing package, new air bags, new susp. compressor, in perfect shape except for a crack in windshield. $7000 private party last week with 93000 miles. oh and dont forget the extra $800 the state of Kansas gets for the sales tax and plates.

    Glad to be here

    Ok thanks, I will check into that. On the topic of air suspension. Is it possible to do a 2.75/3" lift without the conversion or will it throw the air ride for a loop? I may bite the bullet and convert though and go ahead with the lift for my wife. Only if my current suspension has any...

    Glad to be here

    Sorry, still kind of new to this though with terminology. I am still old school on most stuff. Tuners are a very new thing to me. When you say custom tunes, do you mean Custom programming? Can this be a one-time tune that a shop can do for me?

    Glad to be here

    Well. Glad I found the forum. I have read pretty much every thread over the past couple of days ithe 2nd gen caegory. Very informatonal. We finally decided to sell our 99 tahoe and bought an 03 expy last week. Right now it seems our mileage is pretty much at 13.6 city or hwy. We would...
