    Just bought 98 EB 5.4 4x4 210k $1600 needed valve cover gaskets, heater core and radiator. I also put idler arm and rt upper control arm on[had been replaced but with a left arm- der]. Runs great. I work at Ford dealer and have about $400 in parts in it since I bought it.

    Airaid Review Please

    In my opinion unless you plan lots of HP mods the CAI of any company is a waste of money. the stock air filter flows plenty of air for 500hp and it pulls cold air stock. The removal of restrictions [sound traps and deadners ] from the stock intake hose would be the most cost effective measure.

    Blend door issue?

    I agree.i would look to flush the heater core, but is most likely the water pump vanes are worn away, reducing the flow at idle.

    the tornado

    the tornado is what techs would call a wallet flush [it flushes out the money]In reality most cold air kits do nothing for the horsepower other than change the airflow over the maf. for an example my friend had a 06 mustang 4.0 v6 he put on a cai the only change was the idle was more erratic. we...

    5.4 Triton rough at 1700 rpm

    A vacuum leak would make it run worse at idle not when accelerating. Sounds like a ignition miss. 05 also had problems with injectors- even had a recall but I think it was only to 100,000 miles.

    Spark Plug/Coils

    I do these alot. I do it with the eng hot and an impact [3/8] usually come out fine. I also take out the pcm and bracket to do 3 and 4 on the passenger side. the Lisle tool works well to remove broken plugs. always blow out the debris [porcelin and such] after plug breaks and before using...

    Extra Fuel Tank

    the bronco tank would work also, but you will still need the line T and check valves from a f series with dual tanks and pumps.

    Parking brake light and ABS light on

    check the fluid level and sensor. you may be able to disconnect it if it is bad and the light may go off or you may have to jump across from wire to wire. If that turns it off then it is the sensor in the brake resevoir.

    Extra Fuel Tank

    Just a thought, maybe a rear tank from a 93-96 f150 with 2 tanks. it would have a internal pump and they had a check valve that allowed the tanks to be used seperately. you would need a check valve for the regular tank also then a 2 way switch and wiring to the extra tank. maybe someone has one...

    Need help

    Check the wires from the connector to where it goes into the harness. if the signal wire[-] from the pcm is worn through and shorted it will be ok for a while after you replace the coil then it will get shorted again and it will misfire. usually this blows the coil also.

    Rough Idle

    The easiest way to test it is to tap it with a hammer while it is acting up [idling slow] most of the time if it is bad the idle will pick right up. yes that is right you fix it with a hammer!!

    Disable the door ajar alarm

    each door has a ajar sensor in the latch.you could disconnect and see if that stop the ajar lt if not you will have to jumper across the connector to shut it off. It all depends on if it is open with the door shut or closed.

    Oil filter Mounting Gasket.

    the gasket you are refering to is the oil filter adapter/oil cooler mount. this gasket is between the block and the oil filter adapter and has coolant and oil running through it. it is not real hard but access can be a problem. 5.4 and 4.6s have this smae basic setup[remote mount or not] and...

    AC Not Cold, Dealer Can't Fix

    if it has rear air what is the readings from the back? I have seen some that the rear expansion valve was the culprit. if you suspect a leak ck the lines running to rear air have seen some rub holes through tubes.
