    03 5.4 trans leak

    I noticed the trans was acting a little funny last week. It wasn't too perceptible, but I noticed it. Just a little sluggish and a little hesitant to downshift. I checked the fluid and it was about a quart low. I looked underneath and saw this, then also noticed a few small spots in the...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Noticed a few spots in the driveway where it's parked. Gotunder there and see this. It looks all reddish, only on the trans, not the oil pan. Also coming from what looks to be where the shifter goes on. Is that a common leak point. Going to replace the trans pan gasket before long, have to get...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I got a screw in one of my tires the other day. Luckily I found it after I pulled in my garage. So I pour my spare tire on until I could get a plug kit (will need new tires soon anyway, so just a temp fix). I got to looking at the tire and saw its the original spare, made in Sept of 02. No...

    Made it to Myrtle Beach this past Sunday and back again today, 5 hour trip each way, plus some driving down there. Performed flawlessly, got 13.5-14 mpg the whole time. Sent from my VS880 using Tapatalk

    What did you do to the expy today

    Yesterday and the day before, put on new front rotors and pads and got the oil changed. Put in valvoline high mileage 5w20, going to see if it stops my leak like it did in my Jeep. Sent from my VS880 using Tapatalk

    2004 Expedition front differential cover removal

    It took a little bit, but I got mine out without removing anything except for the plastic piece under the oil filter that's over the axle. I just had tip pull it out in an arcing motion. Putting it back in without out touching anything was a little harder since I had rtv on it. Didn't take me...

    Question for the fathers in here

    Every one is different, and maybe it's because I'm modest, but I don't let mine see me. My boy is almost 5 and my girl a year and a half. My wife is more free with it though. Just do what you feel is right.

    Where to buy OEM replacement Bolts Nuts Screws

    I use a local hardware store (not a chain store). They usually have what I need. I did have to use a different yesterday (still "local" and not a chain store) because my usual store didn't have a match for the rear caliper bolt on my Expy.

    Sweet F150 rims on an 03 Ex

    Those are my favorite wheels for a Ford truck/SUV. If I could find a set for a decent price around here, I'd get them. Gonna look harder in the next year or so when I need a new set of tires.

    Oil leak

    Well, the first little puddles I noticed were honey colored, like oil, so maybe it was leaking from that little tray. I looked tonight and didn't see oil coming from the back of the motor like I originally thought. The fluid is only on the transmission, and while it originally looked brown as...

    Oil leak

    When I bought it in March out was dry underneath and didn't leak anywhere. It did happen about 2500 miles after an oil change. It's almost due again. I looked up underneath it when I noticed it leaking and the oil is only on the driver side. Its coming from the back of the motor and its either...

    Oil leak

    Thank y'all. Still haven't got around to cleaning/looking better yet. Seems like the leak has slowed a little. Gonna try and get to it in the next couple of days.

    Oil leak

    That's what I'm afraid of. What's worse is I think my Jeep is having the same issue. SMH, gotta laugh though lol. Sent from my VS880 using Tapatalk

    Oil leak

    (In case it doesn't show, 2003 Expy 5.4 4WD) So I noticed a little oil on the garage floor the other day. Forgot about it, then noticed a couple spots of oil outside the garage where my wife had temporarily parked. I checked the oil and it was a quart low. Got under there and found a decent...

    What trim is your expedition?

    I like the headlights those came with. I have an 03 Eddie Bauer. It seems discontented though. No sunroof, heated seats or power third row. Being first year though it doesn't surprise me too much. It does have the 6-disc CD and subwoofer, which is nice.

    Yeah, my 95 Grand Cherokee is about the same way. Works fine facing uphill, down, not so much.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Got the parking brakes all done a couple days ago. They hold in drive or reverse without the gas pedal pressed, but not good facing down hill. Oh well. Also changed the front diff fluid, not much space there. It was gray, but no pieces of metal. Probably original like the rear was, has 120K on...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Woohoo! Found the keys. They were in my mom's back yard and thankfully it hasn't rained here since Sunday. On a different note, why does it take me so long to do things when working on vehicles lol? Took me four hours to disassemble, lube, reassemble and adjust my passenger side parking brake...

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to do that for her. She misplaces them often, but usually finds them. Not this time. I'm going to look for myself tomorrow.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Not what I did, but what my wife did. She lost her set of keys at my mom's and had to be driven home since I was at work.[emoji43] Hope to find them, don't want to have to buy a new set.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Changed the rear diff fluid with LS additive. Had noticed the the clickingish/grinding noise. Old fluid was kind of dark, new fluid seems to have quieted things down. Ordered wearhertech mats for it the other day. Got "them" in today, but they sent me the wrong ones. Gonna have them tomorrow to...
