    2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins

    Good job, VB. In reference to your post #13, these are coil-over-shocks, not struts. Remember, a strut is actually part of the front end geometry. A strut replaces the upper control arm. Of course, please correct me if I'm wrong. I did my own shock r&r after I bought my '03 a few years ago...

    03-04 roof rack upgrade

    I did exactly the same swap that you're proposing. It is a simple "unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones in place" Nothing more, nothing less. It is all done from the outside. You do not need to get under the headliner for anything. I think it took me a grand total of about 20 minutes...

    New Expy- few issues-few questions

    Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo

    I just replaced the rear floor/roof selector a couple days ago...AGAIN! This time it's the OEM Ford part (Motorcraft p/n YH-1743) Hopefully it will last longer than the Dorman part that I've tried twice in the past five months!

    Good deal, khpony. Keep us updated. I know that door ajar light is a pain when you can't turn it off!

    Battery Drain/Door Adjar Message

    Hey khpony, I'm sure you've already considered it, but you may want to make sure which door switch is malfunctioning before you order the part. There is a different part number for the left side and right side. When I had to change mine out, I started with the most likely to fail, which seems...

    How much did you pay for your Expedition?

    $5500+ttl in April 2014. Had about 155k miles on it. Already had 18" F-150 wheels. Probably could have (should have?) talked dealer down a little bit, but we love our Expy!

    Suggestions for Coil Packs

    I went with Denso coil packs (Made in USA!) from rockauto.com and Autolite Iridium plugs. Have put close to 10k miles on them so far and seem to be working fine.
