    2003 5.4L Tune Up Details Needed

    I am planning on replacing the coil packs and plugs on my 2003 Expedition XL 5.4 L. I am approaching 200K miles and last had them changed at 100k. Are there any posts detailing the steps that might help? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Discolored Side Panels

    Over the last year, the grey side panels (exterior) of my 2003 Expy XLT have begun to fade. Anyone have a similar problem?

    The button near the license plate opens the rear window only when the doors are locked.

    Running Boards

    I used Spray 9 and got the Armor All off the running boards - and they are clean - but the black is "dull". I am looking for something to keep them shiny and black without the slipping.

    Running Boards

    I have a 2003 Expy with factory black plastic running boards. Can anyone recommend a product to keep them black without making them slippery? I got sick of looking at them greying so I ran some Armor All on them the other day (what a mistake! - the running boards became really slick and...

    Remote Oil Filter Kit

    Thanks - I live in Howell, NJ (Central). Not sure where you are. Are there pre-drilled holes (set up by Ford) on the Expy for mounting the remote? I was also looking at the single kit from JC Whitney. Not sure of the quality, though.

    Remote Oil Filter Kit

    I am looking to install (have installed) a kit to remotely mount the oil filter to make my filter changes easier (2003 XLT 5.4 L). Does anyone have a suggestion as to brand etc? Should I have the dealer do it? Is there any downside to having your filter remotely mounted (in terms of...

    Who waxes the roof of the Expy?

    I think it is wise to wax all the painted areas of your Expy. It is a little bit of a challenge, but I use a step stool and go at it from the sides, working from the front to the back.

    Oh the pain!

    I just got a call from my wife - she backed the new 2003 Expy (bought in September) into a pole! She was on the cell phone and didn't hear the backup sensor go off. Maybe Ford should look into replacing the backup sensor with an automatic ejector seat!

    Auto Lock Disable

    Is there any way to disable to auto lock on a 2003 Expy? I moved the switches on the rear doors from lock to unlock but it doesn't seem to do a thing? Any help is appreciated.

    Best Drive Setting?

    I own a 2003 XLT 5.4 L 4WD. I live in the northeast. This weekend we had snow for the first time. I left the truck in the A4WD setting as the roads were packed with snow. The snow is now melting so many of the roads are clear (bare pavement). However, there are many local roads still snow...

    Garage Parking Help!

    My wife was having problems accurately parking our Expy in our garage. She would either come to close to the wall - or too far from it. She was frustrated to the point that she refused to park it - she would leave it in the driveway and I would pull it in at night. I tried mounting a ping...

    Oil and Filter Suggestions?

    I have a 2003 Expy XLT 5.4L. The filter is just over the front axle on the right (facing the engine). You can BARELY get a wrench over the filter and have to loosen/tighten it in baby increments. I saw what was going to happen from the start - so I crammed the underside of the filter with...

    Oil and Filter Suggestions?

    I changed my oil for the first time this weekend (Mobil1 5W30 and PureOne filter). The filter removal was a real knucklebuster (and no clear drain path for the oil trapped in the filter)! Any suggestions? I added the Fram Sure Drain (thanks for the suggestion) and am loking forward to using it...

    Speaker Replacement

    I recently bought a 2003 Expedition with a factory 6 CD changer. I find that the speakers are very weak. Is it really the speakers or the fact that the cabin is so open that it sounds that way? Has anyone had any luck replacing them? Thanks

    Oil and Filter Suggestions?

    Thanks for the advice (I just registered under JSRocket). This is my first oil change. I have always changed my oil at 3000 mi intervals and have had engines (96 Ford Windstar) go over 200,00 miles. I read the filter comparison you mentioned...
