    So the journey begins! ! !

    If you're going to travel into some rougher terrain you may want to temporarily remove the running boards. They are too low and will get damaged very easily.

    What type of Caliper Bolt is this?

    I have to replace my front rotors on my 03 EB 4wd very soon also. I have been putting it off because I have read various posts that the rotors could be and absolute female dog to get off. Did you have any issues popping them off?? I see you're in Oregon where the weather is more aggressive than...

    2003 4wd EB automatic headlight Sensor

    The cost of the part is no big deal but almost $200 to install it?????????? I guess they couldn't have just make it accessible from the top of the dash. Noooooooooo you have to get to it from underneath. Dumb

    2003 4wd EB automatic headlight Sensor

    For the second time in only 4 years, my automatic headlight sensor is misbehaving. Everything was working just fine when I turned off the engine last night. This morning when I went to do some errands, I noticed that my Navigation screen and temp control panels were very dim. My headlight...

    Checking for loose suspension parts

    2003 EB 4WD 5.4 Can I assume with any degree of confidence, that in order to try to find the culprit that is causing some annoying mild clunking while driving over small irregularities in the road, that the EB should have all 4 wheels on the ground, rather than being hoisted up ??? I initially...

    Rattle in side pillar??

    After doing some testing, I have found that the noise I hear from the pillar seems to only happen on a left hand turn or curve. It sounds like it is right next to my head but looking at a diagram of the seatbelt mechanism, it is way down by the floor. It looks like getting the plastic trim off...

    2003 EB 5.4 4WD Front ball Joints question

    I have looked in online for directions on how to replace the lower front ball joint(s) on my 03 EB 5.4 4WD and there is conflicting information as to whether or not the ball joints are replaceable OR the ball joints only come preinstalled in a new lower control arm. YouTube was not helpful...

    Rattle in side pillar??

    I have an 03 EB 4WD and for the last year or so, there has been a rattle coming from what appears to be inside the body pillar next to my left shoulder. It seems worse when going around a left hand turn. Is the something INSIDE that pillar that can cause this obnoxious noise? Thanks

    Talk about being totally blown away

    I had NO idea. My daughter had given me one of those oval shaped magnetic "fridge magnet" signs depicting our Husky dog for my 2003 EB I went out and cleaned off a spot on the rear hatch and stuck the sign there was was totally surprised when it fell to the ground. WTF I thought. I then...

    seat and mirror issues

    I don't think the seat issue would be a fuse. He indicated that he gets a "click" sound when pushing the switch. Sounds more like a stuck motor or a jammed track

    Worst radio reception of any vehicle I've ever owned

    Is there any way to install a front fender mounted external (old school) antenna? That should solve all your problems unless of course the radio itself is crap.

    Putting newer 20" (or 18") rims on '06

    My 2003 EB 4X4 has all stock suspension and I replaced the original plain jane 17" with nice triple plated 20" wheels front & back. I have 285/50/20 tires and there are zero issues with rubbing under any condition that I have encountered in over 10 years. Sure makes the truck look a LOT better...

    Brake rotor question

    For those of you who have replaced your brake rotors yourself, did you go with OEM (Ford) or aftermarket OEM replacements? Any thoughts on the standard solid type vs the slotted/vented variety? Thanks 2003 EB 5.4 4WD

    Front end clunk

    Today, with the engine off, transmission in Park, and Parking Brake set,I had ONE of the front tires lifted off the ground on my 2003 5.4V8 4WD EB. As I was checking the brake rotor for thickness, I rotated the wheel forward and backward a bit and heard a very clear clunk sound coming from...

    Backup Alarm misbehaving

    Thanks for that info. I was not aware of this at all. It seems odd that when I get the "Check Backup Aid" notice on the dash, that there is no error code coming up on the OBD2 port.

    Backup Alarm misbehaving

    Hello My 03 EB 4WD 5.4 has the 2 backup sensors mounted in the rear bumper. MOST of the time, when I put it into Reverse, I get an error status on the dash along with a single 1 second tone that says CHECK BACKUP or something similar. Once in a while, maybe 1 out of 10, the backup system works...
