Okay. So here's the issue, I changed the air filter on my 03 sport. I took off the KKM and put the stock airbox back in. After several km's I get a CEL. Ok, I change it back to the KKM expecting it to be fine after, it was until I revved really hard to test it. Once I revved it over 6.5k rpm...

I'm did a blue led swap to the all the lights EXCEPT the bottom part under the radio. How do you change the light on that part? I hear it's a green film (oh no!). Has anyone attempted this? THanks.

Interestingly enough, I find it entertaining reading through all the "magical" ways of increasing your mpg. Recently, while searching through craigslist, I found this guy advertising a "Fuel saving device". What do you know, I was in there browsing and reading what this thing is...well...it...

Hi guys, I just noticed that I have something that is labelled O/D on the shifter on my 2003 Ex Sport. I'm not sure what this thing does except it is a button turns the O/D on and off. Can someone explain to me what this thing is and what it does for my truck? Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm from Canada and I want to buy 1" lowering blocks from autozone. However, I need to have a US credit card and billing address in order to work. I was wondering if I paypal someone to buy something for me and have it shipped to my american address in Point Roberts, Washington? They...

If I put a 1.5" lowering block in the rear of my truck will I need an alignment? From my understanding only the front can be aligned not the back of the 03 Sports right?

I'm wanting to purchase a rear swaybar for my truck to increase handling. Wondering if the group purchase price of $150+ shipping is still on? Looking to pick one up...

So I torsion key flipped and only managed to get to 31.5" from the ground. I'm wanting around 30" off the ground, is there any other way to get more drop? Are there coilovers? Man I think I got the one truck that was meant to be lifted rather than dropped lol...

I'm trying to tweak the truck to get an increase of mpg. I'm going to change the fuel filter, and also get an oil change done with Mobil1 Synthetic 5W30. I live up in Vancouver, BC and the temperature is averaging between 2-6 degrees now. Anyways, my main question is I only have 93,000...

Hi guys, I need to drop my ex another 1.5" in the rear, but I'm wondering what is the ACTUAL drop I get with blocks? I searched and read that some blocks that are 2", when lowered with the blocks you only get 1.5" or the same with 1" blocks only giving 0.5" drops. Is there a way around this or...

I lowered my ex with a torsion key flip and recently I've noticed when I turn left (a little more than a normal left turn) it sounds as if the wheel is rubbing against the fender/wheel well or something. A loud scratching sound. I get a similar sound when I turn right, but only when I turn...

Gone :(

I'm just curious as to what everyone refers to as "drone" from mufflers or exhaust systems. I'm interested in beefing up the sound of my exhaust and to increase mpg, but was concerned about "droning". Can someone care to explain what this is?

I was trying to take off my bump stop to drill/shave it down a bit but it was really tight. So I cheater bar'd it and guess what? the screw breaks. It was so corroded. Anyways, any idea how I get the remaining length of screw out of the bump stop screw hole attached to the frame?

So I finally managed to lower the ex with a torsion key flip. However, the ride is pretty rough when I ride over some bumpy roads. I feel that the front hits the bump stops really hard. I read this thread http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26296 and had the idea to do the same...

Aw man...so tonight I tried my torsion flip. My friggin POS gear puller flipped on me. However I managed to still get the key out. But now I can't put it back in because my gear puller is messed. I read somewhere that if I remove the upper ball joint it will relieve all pressure on the...

So I did a search and literally NOTHING on this shock. The price is $86 for a new set at shockwarehouse. Has anyone had any experience with these? They cost as much as the Gabriels at Autozone. This is an awesome price for those wanting to replace the OEM crap-tubes. If you have tried these...

So I went on shockwarehouse to take advantage of their Bilstein promotion. I put my exploder in the menu (03 ex sport 2dr) and there is no option for the bilsteins! Then I try changing the year to 2001, and then I find it. So can I just purchase the shocks using 01 as the date and get it to work...

I have a 2-ton jack to lift my stock 03 ex sport 4WD. Is that sufficient or will it pop on me lol

So I'm planning on swapping my fuel filter and fluids this week. I'm wanting to head over to my local Lordco and pick up all the parts necessary. However, I'm wondering what is better in terms of fuel filters. Should I go OEM from ford or aftermarket? I'm going to be keeping this car for a long...

So today after a nice dinner with my gf, we head in the xploder and go home. When I reach her place, I realise because of my music I couldn't hear my hand brakes were engaged. Furthermore, I also noticed my hand brake lights on the cluster does not work. As of now, there is a funky smell, but I...

Is this a good setup to start out with? Or should I go with the a custom setup? If not for the Kenwood package I'm thinking maybe going with the Kenwood amp and maybe a Kicker comp or L5 in 10" The Kenwood package looks good, it's just I"m not sure how it will perform with only one sub...

Well, if you read my other post, I was checking for the lower ball joint. Now it came to my curiosity what about the upper one? Is it possible that only the lower requires replacement and not the upper joint? How would I go about checking the upper ball joint? Thanks in advance, love this forum.

Hi guys, About to do the torsion key flip and since I need to get an alignment after I was wanting to check my lower ball joints. How do I go about checking if I need the lower ball joints replaced or not? What symptoms should I look for? Does anyone have pictures of worn joints? I own an 03 Ex...

So I found these at a local junkyard: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-01-FORD-Explorer-SUBWOOFER-AMPLIFIER-amp-box-sub-JBL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQitemZ200287945325QQptZCarQ5fSubwoofersQ5fEnclosures I was wondering if it was worth it even if the subwoofer was damaged...
