    Drivers Side Window Trim R/R 2003 Expy+

    Keyless entry pad has failed. I have the correct PN and have watched videos on removing the door panel, disconnecting electrical components, removing the mirror to remove the base window trim but cannot find a video that shows the removal of the black trim that holds the keypad. I have...

    Help with Motor Build Plan_350-400HP N/A 2nd Gen 4.6L

    Planning to build such a motor for my '03Expy and want to collect any thoughts from forum members that may have experience with building up the 2V 4.6L motor. My first thoughts was, of course, building a nearly stock motor and supercharging but I would only do that if there was a "bolt on"...

    Trans Noise_Maybe?

    New noise that recently presented on my '03 Expy with 160Kmiles. Phone was held just under body from the drivers side. Noise presents when trans is in gear, R or D; still presents in N or P but barely audible. Noise is intermittent and best described as a rattle; sounds a bit like something...

    Upgrade Complete_New Photos

    A while back I posted my plan to "restore/upgrade" my '03 4.6L Expy in lieu of replacing it after only 154K miles. The plan included 4.10 gears, shorty headers, CAI, underdrive pulleys, electric fans and 5 Star tune to pull it all together. Had some issues along the way with header fitment and...

    Gibson Header Install Follow UP

    Rather than continue my previous "Headers? Yes? No? thread, I am starting a new one to share the experience I have had with Gibson. After installing the first set that did not fit, Gibson sent a second set on the off chance that the first set was marked with the wrong PN or some other factory...

    Electric Fan Install

    Won't bother with the back story but having difficult finding a direct fit electric fan kit for my '03 Expedition. Apparently there are two different radiators for this vehicle; left/right and top/bottom tanks and mine is top/bottom which prohibits the install of kits like Flex A Lit. So, it...

    Electric Fans Power Supply

    Wasn't sure to post this here or electrical but since the mod is performance oriented, thought this the best place but, if not, move it. Just curious from those that have installed electrical rans, what was their choice for ignition/key on power supply to the fans? Vehicle is a 2003 4.6L Expy.

    Headers? Yes? No?

    Gearing up to "restore" my '03 4.6L Expy with 150K miles. Very well maintained, motor and trans in good condition. Plan is to restore interior and exterior to "showroom" condition. Vehicle is already lowered with Eibach/Bilsteins and 20" wheels/tires and upgraded radio with hands free...

    Triton V8 or Ecoboost V6?

    Currently driving an '03 XLT with the 4.6L V8 with 145K miles. It has been a great vehicle but starting to show its age. I will not buy new; never have and never will. I am debating with myself whether I should spend a few thousand on the '93, i.e., replace the motor with a rebuilt 4.6 or 5.4...

    2003 Expy Catalytic Converter R/R

    I have been searching but no love. On a 1-10 degree of difficulty scale, how tough a job is it? I have looked at the connection at the exhaust manifold and those bolts look pretty awkward to get to. I plan to replace the cats and the OEM exhaust system with a Magnaflo cat back system. Nothing...

    Catalytic Converter R/R

    About to replace catalytic converters on 2003 4.6L Expedition; will be installing a Magnaflo cat back system behind them as well. I am replacing the cats since I have read that they have typical service life of 150K miles and I have 125K on the clock. Since I will be under the vehicle anyway, I...
