    Any value to air ride components?

    I removed all of my air shocks and replaced with traditional shocks. One of them (front passenger) seemed to have a slow leek not sure if it was the shock or the connection. All 4 look to be in great shape with no discernible rot or cracks on the bags. The underside of my Expedition is totally...

    Changing Plugs/COPs

    I finally bit the bullet and did the plugs on the 2003 EB with 5.4. Not as bad as I thought or read. The only really bad one is the passenger side rear and that wasn't a total PITA. All you need it one universal joint and a few extensions. I replaced all 8 plugs and COPs in well under 2 hours. I...

    Sparkplug change on 03 5.4

    I just lost my 2nd COP and tore into the engine to replace this. Cylinders 1,2,3,5,6 and 7 are not that bad. I have been replacing them as they fail and the first was #5 (the easiest) and I just did #3 last night. It took maybe 25 minutes. I only needed one swivel. I do suggest waiting for the...

    Slotted Brake rotors

    I got the slotted and drilled rotor kit from rockauto for the front brakes on the 03 EB. The front end has a massive shake when the brakes are applied. I already greased up the caliper studs and replaced the passenger caliper with no change. Pads are great (ceramic) but I am still replacing them...

    Replacing plugs 2003 5.4l

    Should I be concerned about breaking the plugs in the 5.4l engine? I have heard that the 2003 are not affected by the plug breaking and I have heard they are. I am going to soak them in WD40 overnight before the change and also going to replace all 8 coils. I found the coils on Amazon for $69...

    2003 EB Air Shocks - what to do with them?

    I converted my 2003 EB 4 wheel air ride suspension to traditional coils. I did it because one of the air-shocks would fill while driving and we were wearing out tires on that corner. Not sure if it was actually leaking or if the hoses were leaking. It never leaked out overnight. All 4 air shocks...

    Transmission Slipping?

    When I accelerate in my 2003 EB 4WD I get a slight jerky feeling. Maybe 4-5 jerks. I am pretty sure it has the posi rear as well. There is no loss in power and no engine problems just the jerkiness at startup. Does this sound like the transmission is starting to slip? How much are parts and...

    Just did the Suncore shock conversion

    I just completed the Suncore (SC) shock conversion on my 2003 EB. First wheel (front) took me about 2 hours. The SC shock is longer then stock and you really have to muscle the bottom in to get it lined up so the bolt goes in. 80% of the time was spent just trying to get the bottom of the shock...

    Ball Joint Press Kit Advice

    Will the below kit work for the lower ball joint on a 2003 Expedition 4WD EB? The Fords seem a little funny with special adapters available and I want to make sure I have what I need before I start. Contains 3 receiver tubes measuring 2-3/4 inch I.D. x 3 inch O.D. 2-1/4 inch I.D. x 2-1/2...

    2003 EB Exepedition 4WD Suncore Conversion

    Right front tire going bald - wasted 3 tires so far... I have had my right front tire replaced 3 times. I have had the car aligned 4 times. Each time they say it is fine but do it anyway. 4 different shops. The right front air shock is always low, leaking and is always trying to inflate. Would...
