Did you unplug the harness from the sensor and see if your temp gauge drops back to full cold ? Most likely just a bad cylinder head temp sensor. Move the alternator out of the way and you can get to it.
Your AC pressures are low. Especially for the heat of Texas right now. You should be seeing 40 low side and 225-275 high side. Try adding some freon to the system and see how it does.

Usually just any of the smaller hoses connected to the throttle body. Like the Evap Purge vacuum supply line or such.
Leave the throttle closed. A leak will be pretty obvious in a few seconds.

Are you the original owner ? 'Cause it looks like someone has swapped out some vacuum tubing already ( previous owner ? ). But the common leak is at the back of the intake manifold where the hose connects, or that PVC elbow that's usually right there at the PVC valve. Your best bet really, is...
How old is the fuel filter ? If you have a fuel pressure test gauge, what kind of fuel pressure are you seeing at the fuel rail schrader valve ?
To release the fuel lines off the filter just push the blue buttons in on the quick connects ....

Did you re-use your old condenser ? They're very hard to clean out after a compressor failure and usually just get replaced. But anyway. Try spraying cool water from the garden hose into the front of the Expy, enough to cool the condenser, and see what your pressures do and the affect on your...
Yeah, you can take the driver's door panel off and unplug all the switches and the mirror switch, then plug in each one by one and test the switches. Also look for any burn indications on the harness plugs you pull off. Over the years water gets into those switches from people opening their...
Is it a 4x4 ? If it's just a 4x2 replacing the oil pan is pretty easy. Is the original drain plug stripped as well ?

Or, if you elect to just use a oversize drainplug again, try one of these kits:

There's a phillips head screw to remove. You can access it by folding the mirror housing back to expose the screw head ( DO NOT Remove the mirror glass...). Then you move the mirror glass outer edge to get behind the glass and with a longish flat screw driver manipulate the spring clip that...
Yep. Sadly Ford continues to let this issue go without fixing it at assembly time. This issue has been going on for close to 30 years now. Buy the elbow, boil it in hot water to soften is up, then slide it on the existing drain pipe coming out the firewall. Problem solved. When the vehicle is...
That style of key FOB is a bit more fragile than the older FOB only setups. Dropping that style on the hard ground or cement will break it's circuit board and render the buttons inop. You can pick up a new pair on Amazon and have the key cut at any Home Depot or Walmart and reprogram it to your...
