    04 UCA replacement options

    I'm impressed you even managed to find that. None of the conversion kits seem to come with UCAs, so it seems to me like that would work just fine. Anyone who knows better feel free to chime in. Good to know about your TRW experience either way, thanks.

    04 UCA replacement options

    So I've looked all over and even on Ford's site I can't find any reference to a Motorcraft LEFT UCA for the 2004... only the right side model. Unless somebody can show me otherwise, it seems I'm stuck looking at aftermarket options. All the discussions I've read suggest that Moog's RK line is...

    Brush guard compatibility with F-150?

    Been wanting a brush guard for a while now, preferably something that doesn't require drilling or other modification. It's slim pickings out there for 2nd gen expys, but I'm curious if an 11th gen F-150 guard would fit just fine. I had Ranch Hand's Legend in mind particularly, because I like the...

    04 Evap canister assembly removal

    Finally found someone who managed to help. Leaving this here for anyone else who needs it. That connector has 4 barbs on the inside of the canister and no way to release them apart from simply pulling. However, the two lines going into it have quick disconnects near the tank. Releasing those...

    04 Evap canister assembly removal

    So I'm trying to diagnose my P0442 code. I've replaced the gas cap, PCV valve, purge valve and any disintegrating hoses I've found under the hood, still throws the code. It's also intermittently sucking in evap and revving up a little when idle/at low power, meanwhile air sucks in through the...

    Evap Canister Purge Valve Hose?

    Thanks. Even the parts guy at the local Ford dealer wasn't able to help me

    Evap Canister Purge Valve Hose?

    Howdy, I recently replaced my evap canister purge valve, and am concerned about the hose running between it and the engine. Like a number of other vacuum hoses I've already replaced, it appears to be disintegrating from the wear of time and heat. I'd like to replace it but for the life of me...

    Rear A/C not cooling, actuator is fine

    It's definitely not the blend door, since I fixed both of them just before the original post

    Rear A/C not cooling, actuator is fine

    This one has a blend door that picks a route between evap + heater core and just evap, which I already fixed the actuator on. I can feel it get hot when it runs the heater core route and ambient temp under cool, so it's definitely not that. That's what I was thinking but for the life of me I...

    Rear A/C not cooling, actuator is fine

    When I pulled off the panel to check, one was cold going all the way through the rear TXV to the rear evaporator, and it accepted the rest of the refrigerant I'd bought for the 54 oz. It's hard to say for certain whether it was blowing cold or not since it was a cool morning when I checked it...

    Rear A/C not cooling, actuator is fine

    I just replaced the front evaporator in my '04 5.4L with rear climate control, vacuum tested the system and recharged it. However, it would only take the amount of refrigerant required for a front only unit (32 oz.) instead of the full 54 oz. for a front and rear unit. The front A/C is blowing...

    Compass inoperative issue and unknown multipins

    After tearing apart the dash to replace the evaporator core, my compass module isn't working. Looking at the service manual, it's telling me to check on "Circuit 1003", without directing me to where that actually is. The connector they show sure looks like one of the three I've left unplugged...

    Brake lights stuck on

    EDIT: Looks like there's been some arcing in the brake switch, dirtied up the contact. Jiggling the wires would turn it on and off. A few passes with a file cleaned it up some but not enough to be truly reliable. Yet another unexpected, unrelated parts expense. Oh well... After wrestling for...
