Block heaters?
In the summer it runs extremely cool, never comes up off the 'C'. If it ran hot, I would assume it needed flushing etc or else the carlot might swapped in a cooler stat...say, replaced a 180/185 with a 160 and the water wasn't staying in the radiator long enough to be cooled but that's not the...- Trueno

Block heaters?
Because 38* at 100% humidity is pure torture, takes forever for my 02 to warm up. :sad72:- Trueno

Heating System Problem
Nah, just a cheaper way to manufacture using those compression fittings. Some barbed T's and hose clamps and you're on your way. t- Trueno

Heating System Problem
Welcome to the forums. I have an '02 with 4.6, would a pic of the hose routing under the hood help? t- Trueno

stoped running
The infamous "T" on the rear of some Ford 4.6' intakes that occasionally rears its ugly head came to mind. Seems it'll leak slightly when it wants and cause minor driveabilty problems ("the leading up to part"), then it breaks completely and tries to leave you on the side of the road (OP's...- Trueno

stoped running
Started and ran with ether, then died, sounds like a big vacuum leak. Any idle problems leading up to this? t- Trueno

A/C clutch clicks but...
update.............. Well, I'm lost for sure now. I mentioned the trouble started with the onramp, figured I fouled a plug that was on its way out and the A/C was just a side coincidence. Codes showed both O2 sensors and #7 (G) COP as culprits. Swapped #1 COP and sparkplug into #7 hole...- Trueno

A/C clutch clicks but...
Just dropped my lil convict off at her sister's house, 'legs' is busy doing things for her mother, but my shorty (:kiss:) is waitin' on the front steps uptown and I figure I deserve some sort of reward so I'm takin' the rest of the day off (hubba hubba!) Got your emails, I'll dig into the PDF...- Trueno

A/C clutch clicks but...
Starting to second-guess myself now as to whether what I actually heard was the clutch mech or not. If it were, then it stands to reason that the plate would have moved SOME kind of distance. To add insult to injury...just got back from the junkyard, bought a coil off a 5.4, not sure the year...- Trueno

A/C clutch clicks but...
Controls are manual. Starting to recall a few small episodes of it not cooling here and there in the last week. Turned the main selector OFF and waited 10sec, then back on at MAX with low fan speed and I could feel very cold air coming out the vents. Accelerated on down the street and the...- Trueno

A/C clutch clicks but...
Temp and gauge both around 85. I would think there's power to the clutch, it just isn't engaging. Maybe I wasn't clear...it 'clicks' almost as if it were cycling on/off, every 20-30 seconds or so but the front plate doesn't move rearward to the magnet/coil. I usually associate the clicking...- Trueno

I trust you would be discreet in using Western Union to wire $800 for parts and tools into my *****ian bank account? If you would be so kind, it would expedite matters greatly. viva John Wayne! :favorites37: eta: wow, can't even use the word Ni ge rian- Trueno
