    Urgent help needed. 98 eb going hot

    That code is an oxygen sensor heater malfuction. It shouldnt have anything to do with your over heating issues. You might want to check your wiring around the pigtail clips for the sensors, could very well be a short. Also, are the oxygen sensors ford parts? If not then you could have gotten...

    Urgent help needed. 98 eb going hot

    I will start by asking if you have any check engine light on currently and if so, what codes? Yes , we do have thermostats on these engines and they can fail just like any other wearable part. Also it is a cheap part and fairly easy to replace so I would probably start there. Pouring any...

    Help with body lift!

    Yep, mine would occasionally overheat in very hot conditions. After some research I found that it is due to moving the fan shroud. Now Like Walnuts, there are some that never experience overheating, but I was one of the unlucky ones. Google search overheating afterbody lift and you will find...

    Go or no on these rims

    You are gonna need to do a 3" body lift and a 2" suspension lift to fit 35s on 16x10s... even then you will have to trim a small corner piece of bumper plastic so they dont rub when reverse turning. If I were you, I would go ahead and do a 3/2 lift and get the 10" wide wheels. They look so...

    99 5.4 issues

    I would go ahead and invest in a code reader / with erase capabilities if I were you. I got mine at advance auto for $59.00 You really need to see if you have any pressing codes or potential codes bieng thrown. For example, if it is a coil pack giving you fits... you would be hard pressed to...

    Thanks everyone. Walnuts, Does your spacer bolt ontop of your coil or just sit sandwiched in between the top of the coil and tower. Sorry for my ignorance, but I have not had a chance to get up under and check it out. I had an 04 F150 once that I bolted a set of daystars up under the front...
