    Ignition Coil Pack Bolts - WTH SIZE ARE THEY?

    Can someone tell me what size wrench I need to remove the coil packs from my 4.6L 2003? These things are starting to piss me off. The bolt head is bigger than 6mm, way smaller than 8mm, and 1/4" is just a hair too small as well. Is there a special tool? I actually put a caliper on the one that I...

    Probable Vacuum Leak on A/C Recirc Door?

    Happy Friday! My wife's 2003 Expy has a small problem in the a/c that I need a little help with. When you set the a/c control to MAX, the air flow through the dash vents works just fine at idle, but as soon as you hit the throttle, the blend door eases closed and the air diverts to the defrost...

    Lower Control Arm Bushing Replacement ?

    So I took both LCAs off of the wife's '03 2WD XLT yesterday to replace all four of the bushings. Found out that no rental / loaner ball joint / bushing press is big enough to reach around all the pieces and press them out. Took the arms and my new bushings to a local shop (highly recommended by...

    Need Some P0405 EGR Halp, STAT!

    Morning, folks! I seriously need some advice on my wife's '03 XLT 4.6L. I have a recurring (off and on for the last year) P0405 code for "EGR Sensor A Circuit Low" and now, new just this morning I have P0403 "EGR A Control Circuit". MUST get these corrected for state inspection here in Texas...

    Timing set install done. Trouble Codes Abound!

    I just finished the install of a timing set on my wife's '03 4.6L 2V, and I am having issues. Everything is back together, I replaced the crank and cam position sensors and plugged everything back up. Idles with just a hint of a stumble or a miss somewhere. I put the code reader on it and was...

    Troubleshooting An A/C Recirc Door Vacuum Problem

    Need some guidance on where to start looking for a vacuum problem. This is my starting point: 2003 Expy, standard climate system (NO EATC) A/C will work fine in "Regular" a/c mode (at least getting as cool as it can in town with outside air in 103 Texas heat). "MAX (recirc) mode works only at...

    '03 4.6L - Battery Warning Light

    I've got the "battery warning light" issue, but I believe perhaps not quite the same symptoms I see in other posts, So, excuse the repetition if this has been addressed. At cold startup, the warning light will take several minutes to come on, and will occasionally cycle on and off...

    A/C Recirc Door Vacuum Problem?

    Just finished doing an a/c evac and recharge on the wife's '03 Expedition XLT.. The entire climate system works just fine, EXCEPT a/c on the MAX (Recirc) setting. Nice, cool air comes out of the dash vents at idle, but smoothly transitions to the defrost vents when I hit the accelerator. Soon as...

    Touch Up Paint On Window Trim

    Looking to do some "Spring Remediation" on my '03 XLT, and I have a good deal of peeling of the "black coat" over the chrome window trim. Has anyone had satisfactory results with spot treating these, or do I need to completely strip the pierce and re-apply a Plasti-Dip type of product? Thanks in...

    Body Parts Interchangeability?

    I have a 2003 Expy XLT that needs a new rear bumper cover. Before I head to the salvage yard, can someone tell me if there is interchangeability from any other years? Thanks a bunch in advance!

    High Idle When In Gear

    My wife drives an '03 Expy (4.6l 2WD, 4R70W Trans). I just installed a new Idle Air Control Valve, and I seem to have fixed one problem and developed another. After doing a little work on the PCV vac hose this morning, I have the "resting idle" nice and smooth at 900rpm. However, as soon as I...

    Intermittent Crank - No - Start Issue

    I have an '03 XLT 4.6L that has had an intermittent start issue that needs resolution. Occasionally, when you crank the engine it will fail to fire or require a very long (longer than I want to run the starter) crank time. If I "cycle" the key off/on and crank it again, it will ALWAYS fire...
