It's not a fun job, but it is nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. Plan, prepare and make sure you got the tools. You'll need a metric set and the 5.5mm (that is not a standard socket). steering wheel puller with hooks, and extensions, I have a 2 foot one that helps with the...
Bought it from the second owner (and are still in contact with them) they got it from a local rental place.
it's about 180k.
And no idea what type of coolant is in there now. It has been diluted after the intake manifold leak and I was about to flush and change it when the core went out. I'll...

Quick update;
Problem reappeared again. ECU showed it was now misfiring on cylinder one , so swapping the coils made the problem swap cylinders. As the new coils came in today, I swapped out number one for a fresh one straight away. We'll see how long it will last.
The rest of the coils and...

I got a 2003 5.4 Expedition with about 120k on it. Previous owner has preformed all scheduled maintenance.
