    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    Stepcajun, I think that's my favorite look so far. When you say you inset it, is it behind the grille or did you cut the grille and place it flush?

    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    Doodle, I think that's the best option in terms of getting the best use out of the bar. I frequently have surfboards/a kayak up there, so I can't use that space :/ Just out of curiosity, how did you wire up the power and control? Did you port through the roof, or follow along the windshield...

    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    That looks gooood. Nice work. I can tell that the '11 has a ton more space back there. That opening in the grille is letting the beam from your bar do its thing.

    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    Hammer, I can't find the exact pair I bought, but hop on Amazon and search "Ford Lightning Headlight" The aren't a Ford part, but they work just fine and were super easy to install. You simply pop out your existing housing in the same way you'd do to swap out your bulb, but rather than...

    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    ManUp, Behind the grille is my plan B. I agree with you that higher will result in a better beam spread. How did going through the grille affect the light output? The grille on my truck has about an inch of depth within that plastic grid and I'm worried it'll block the flood lights (the last...

    LED Bar In Bumper Air Scoop

    I picked up a cheap Harbor Freight LED bar that fits exactly in the opening in the bumper that scoops air onto the small radiators in front of the main radiator. I believe these are for tranny and oil?? I have a 1997 XLT 4X4 4.6L W. In the photo below, you can see that the bar blocks pretty...

    Cranks But No Start

    New crankshaft position sensor swapped in this morning and she's good to go. Thanks all. For future troubleshooters: I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Delphi-SS10875-Crankshaft-Position-Sensor/dp/B00EAMBMTW And did this *they have the fan cowling removed in this video which makes the...

    Cranks But No Start

    Killer Ride, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. So I plugged in my OBDII reader and when I crank the starter I read 0 RPM. I think this means that you're right and my crank shaft position sensor is dead. Luckily it's a cheap part and not too much work to swap. Before I order it...

    Cranks But No Start

    After resolving EGR issues and broken mega fuse in November, my 1998 XLT 4.6 4wd is down again. When I turn the key the starter turns, but the engine will not fire. Things I know: 1. No CEL, and no codes or pending codes 2. The starter is brand new 3. There is fuel in the rail. I checked...

    1997 XLT 4.6 2WD: Can't remove Spark Plugs! Help!!

    I recently had a P0304 as well and swapped my plugs, wires, and coil packs. It's not just you, it sucks accessing those back ones. You may be in a different situation since you're replacing leaky hoses as well, but if you just need the thing to run in the meantime see below. The best way I've...

    Farty EGR

    Success! I replaced the two 175 amp fuses and the truck started right up. I must have broken one or both of them when I took that assembly apart to get to cylinders three and four. I took it on a 40 mile round trip including city and freeway and no codes so far. My OBDII app has made it...

    Farty EGR

    Oh man... Started with an EGR problem and now I'm down the rabbit hole. So, I finished swapping out coil packs, wires, and spark plugs today. When I got all that finished I got in and turned the key and heard an electrical sounding pop and no start. The inside console started flickering, so...

    Farty EGR

    Alright so I finally got new spark plugs, wires, and coil packs in the mail. I just pulled the plug out of cylinder 4 (where I've been getting the misfire code) and it looked like this: First, wtf is going on here? Second, how do i clean out the spark plug well without pushing whatever all...

    Farty EGR

    Thanks Ulver and Moose. It seems like cleaning out the EGR spacer might have solved the EGR issue. I have an OBDII reader and before I cleaned out the spacer, there would pretty much immediately be a pending EGR code. That doesn't happen anymore. So I've got a small victory! Yesterday I...

    Farty EGR

    I opened up the EGR spacer and throttle body today. The throttle was pretty dirty, so that got cleaned. The EGR Spacer body was BAAAAD. The two ports going to the EGR valve were so caked with coke that it was mounding up and out of them. Got that all cleaned up and put everything back...

    Farty EGR

    Thanks Ulver. Getting after the throttle body clean out today. I'll check the hoses in the EGR Pressure Feedback Sensor as well and report back so future troubleshooters have a trail to follow.

    Farty EGR

    NAPA had a cheap EGR solenoid, so I replaced the buzzing unit. The new unit also buzzes, and still getting a P0401 with rough idle ..bummer. Since EGR valves are much cheaper online, I'm going to order from rock auto and have to wait for shipping. Maybe disassemble the throttle body and check...

    Farty EGR

    Just took a 10 mile roundtrip drive with max speed of 55 mph and had a P0304 code, Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected. This happened while traveling slightly uphill, going 55, and rpms probably around 3k. When I got home I opened the hood before I shut off the engine so I could locate the farting...

    Squeak

    I had mega squeaky front suspension in my truck as well and replaced all of what you mentioned plus lower ball joints. Prior to replacing everything I had tried spraying the joints and that didn't help. If your lower ball joints have grease fittings, grease them. If they don't have grease...

    Farty EGR

    I've got a 1998 4.6L. I'm reading the common P0401 code meaning insufficient exhaust recirculation. I bought the truck in March and since I've had it, it has always had this farting sound from the drivers side under the hood right after I shut off the engine. The sound last about 5 seconds...

    rear brake light and turn inop.... its not the bulb :-) help

    I'm not sure if it's the same problem that you're having, but I had issues with my right signal not working. I realized that when I raised and lowered the steering wheel it would sometimes start working again. Maybe try that and see if you get it to work again. It ended up being a loose wire...

    1998 4.6 4WD Lower Control Arm

    For future noobs, yes remove the cover plastic on front frame rail to access nut/bolt to remove the front lower control arm. This Rough Country install manual for a lift kit on an F-150 has applicable information: https://s3.amazonaws.com/roughcountry/install/1477.pdf I'll report back if it is...
