You may want to mention the paint flaking/rust issue around the door skin flange at the bottom of the doors and remind owners to keep this area clean and waxed.

The Expedition Owner's Guide

Matt,it's gonna be a big job,but a much appreciated one. How about a year by year breakdown of, known trouble issues,what options were added or dropped,and change like when the 5.4 went from 230hp to 260hp,when the wheel lugs went from 12 to 14 mm and then changed to 6 lug pattern for '03.
I recall reading somewhere that someone updated his '03's mirrors to the powerfold Navigators mirrors ,it was a rather easy mod and may be good for guys with unheated mirrors to really upgrade to the whole nine yards,i.e.,heated with turn signals and powerfold.

Matt, I too would like a book from you. If you could email it to me, I would be extremely grateful. I am new to this site and the site will not allow me to email you (spam prevention tool). Thanks for all your hard work on this site!

EOG

I would like to see the EOG, but the link in Matts signature won't work for newbies.

Any work around?

What a gift to the community! I can't wait! Will it cover 2003 models as well? I can't seem to be able to purchase a shop manual anywhere for my '03

You can buy the Ford Service DVD on Ebay. It's the same ones the dealers use to lookup everything.

Thanks Daveplot, I did check them out. One of the vendors said that the disk will expire soon and you have to roll the date on whatever computer that is used to view it back to make it work. Actually, it would be GREAT if I could just find a regular book Ford shop manual for the '03, Haynes or Ford, NOT Chilton. Which DVD version is recommended and how much should I bid?

I have the one that has expired, I just set my clock back a year and the DVD works fine.

This is the auction I won:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6759 for $35 +S/H

Here is an auction the same person is running for a newer version (new version every month).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2445821047

Haynes said they would have one out earlier this year, but they still don't have it.

After christmas I'll have a DVD burner for my computer and Best Buy should be delivering DVD X Copy any time now...
