    Are the cats why I have no engine power?

    [This is a 2003 Expedition, with the 5.4L V8] Okay, remember my complaint a while ago about spark plugs? Yeah, that wasn't the problem with my performance. What happened with those was: Mechanic number 1 fixed vacuum line, and didn't put on the new one correctly. Mechanic number 2 fixed the...

    How hard is it to take apart one of the doors?

    So, I've been hard at work on my Expy so far this year! My weird performance problems are still a thing, sadly (Horrible MPG, performance is sometimes not there, it's been misfiring a few times) but I'm hoping to eventually get someone who knows more than I do to look at it. My brakes are...

    Codes P0316, P0302, and P0171.. oh boy

    Okay, so I think I've talked about it before, but for a recap, my Expy's had some weird performance problems. For example, my MPG doesn't ever hit 10, and it seems like it's gonna dip underneath 9 sometime soon. Also, it seems... weak. For example, last year I went to morgantown for...

    What kind of wipers do y'all use? [And boy can the Expy handle snow!]

    So, to start, I wanna say, OOOHH BOY can the expedition get around in the snow! :D We just got hammered yesterday by a buttload of snow, and I didn't get stuck once, and I had to use 4WD Low a few times in the real deep stuff. Me and my brother took it out for lunch right in the middle of...

    So I went to church with the A4WD on...

    All right, my expedition is of course really big. So when I pull out of the driveway, sometimes a rear wheel will come off of the ground and start spinning. Whenever that happens, I just turn on A4WD for a little bit to get out. However... this morning, I forgot to turn it off. So, I...

    Found out the hard way about my Expy's field of view...

    Went on a family trip today, the expy still can't do 70 going uphill, but flooring it doesn't cause problems anymore and hey, me and my brother already weigh a thousand pounds, then you got my mom and dad at another... 500 or so, so it's a lot of weight. Engine and AC are good now, though...

    So the check engine light started blinking...

    I'll start this off with saying: I'm an idiot. So, the highway here goes through a valley... and it is of course steep on either side. So, in order to get my expedition up the side of the mountain, at 70, which is the speed limit, I have to floor it and the engine hovers around 4K rpm...

    Anyone else have weird paint like this? Also, how would I secure a loose mirror blinker?

    Okay, so, I'm just more curious about this than anything- How come my paint is really bright red on the front fenders and the hood, yet everywhere else it's more of a muted red? Is that just something that happens? Also, my passenger side mirror blinker thingy (on the underside) is loose...

    Mirror switch Fix

    Okay, some of you might remember me throwing a fit about my janky mirror switch that didn't work well! After a lot of attempted percussive maintence, I found a way to fix it! Boy, being an IT guy is helpful for these little things ;) So, this is the imgur album but I'm gonna explain it in...

    Headunit headaches

    So, I have the 6 CD changer headunit, and I've complained about this before, but it just refuses to play nice. It has problems loading CDs, Ejecting CDs, and yesterday when it finished playing disk one, instead of moving to disk two it decided to screech loudly through the speakers instead of...

    Windsheild Washers, the back Wiper, and More :(

    Okay, so in my earlier thread where I got myself a 2003 expedition and nitpicked a lot of minor problems, I am now zeroing in on the only problem left, and also the biggest one: The rear wiper, and the windsheild washers. In this thread, y'all might remember me having some weird problems with...

    Thinking of buying a 2003 Eddie Bauer, anything I should watch out for?

    Aight, so I used to hang out on the explorer forum, because I currently have a 1998 explorer sport. However, I'm super fat, its exhaust isn't even attached anymore, and the timing chain is barely holding on. So, I wanna get something new. There's a 2003 Eddie bauer explorer for $6450.00 right...
