    How to take 03-06 headlights apart

    How to change your brakes

    Well, I changed my brakes yesterday (both front and rear pads and rotors.) This is an 03, 2WD Expy. Maybe or may not be different on the older/newer ones. My friend only really took pictures of when I was doing the rear, but it's basically the same in the front, except for the fact that...

    Rear end noise

    Last weekend, a couple hours after having my tires changed, I was driving down the highway. I go to pass a car. Shortly after passing him, and as the speed was "winding down" I notice a strange sound. Finally was able to locate it. Seems to be coming from the vicinity of the passenger side...

    Expy won't crank, buzzing sound

    Copy and paste from my post at F150online: I go to try to start the Expy, and as soon as the key goes into the ON position, a high pitched buzzing starts. It seems to be coming from somewhere in the passenger kick space. All the lights on the dash turn on (as in a normal start up), and...

    E-fans

    So yea, I went through with this mod. After some complications, I more or less got it down. This is what two 16" fans look like. They're on the radiator shroud just so you can see how two 16" won't fit. My mistake for assuming that the F150 and Expy radiator were the same size. So, two...

    Emblem Vinyls

    With my Expy mainly going for the black and white theme, the Ford emblems in the front and back looked a little out of place with the Ford blue. So after hearing some good reviews from the site patriotdecals.com on the F150 forum, I decided to see what they had. 17 dollars(6.75 for each...

    Changing out the bulbs

    This is for an 03 Expy. 1) Pop the hood. 2) Take off the top two screws on top of the headlights. They look like this: 3) Loosen the screw in the back of the headlight. I think it's supposed to be an alignment screw, but it's never really worked for me. Here it is: 4) Pull out...

    Muffler swap- OEM for 18in Maggy

    So it was finally done. I wanted a little more sound, so I swapped out my OEM muffler for an 18 inch Magnaflow. All I can say is "NICE!" :D It's what I wanted. You turn it on, there is that growl, but then it quiets down, but not as quiet as stock. If you rev it in neutral/park it's slightly...

    Air Intake Baffle?

    From what I understand, a baffle is a thing that lowers the noise of something. Somewhere I heard that removing the air intake baffle would give me a slight boost in performance. Is there such a thing, and if so how can I remove it? Also, other than a little more noise, are there any problems...

    Sylvania SilverStar

    In the beginning, I was happy with the stock bulbs that came with my Expo. The low beams usually "did the job" especially when used in conjunction with the fog lights. The high beams were good for night time driving. One day, while browsing the local Advanced auto parts store, I saw they had...
