    Cold Water Leak

    I second the boroscope as there are a few different spots that coolant can leak. Hopefully it's not freeze plugs, you're pulling the engine or pouring some stop leak in if that's the case. Other spots that can leak include a hard metal pipe in the valley off the rear of the water pump, the...

    Sounds like you gotta drop the tank and take a look. The straps can be a pain in the butt and the tank isn't available anymore. Your best shot would be to drop it in your driveway with a piece of wood on a jack. If you have a boroscope, it may be worth using it to see where the leak is while...

    Seat covers - real replacement covers

    Keep in mind that there is actually a LOT of information out there about Ford and Toyota being one of the largest data brokers out there. For 2025, the cameras on the inside watch you and report a score that the insurance companies pay for. The worst part of it is that if you cover the camera...

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    Everything is all done and things went great. Note to others doing this. DO NOT BUY THE TIMING TOOLS. They are completely unnecessary. Disregard the timing instruction from the manual and just keep the crank with the keyway at 12 o'clock the entire time. At this position all the pistons are way...

    What was your all-in cost? I'd be interested in a kit if you'd like to make a few bucks!

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    These were two rod main bearings I pulled. For an engine with 175k, I'm honestly going to leave the rest of the bearings alone. There is more risk of introducing dirt since I'm doing this in chassis than replacing bearings in excellent shape. With the high pressure pump and Amsoil, I should be...

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    Since it started last time, it sounds like the pump is OK. In automotive wiring, 6V when it should be 12V indicates there is a high resistance other than the pump in the circuit. The relay and the pump are in series and you tested in the middle of the two and saw half the voltage, that would...

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    I'm waiting on nice weather. Here in VA we just had an ice storm so I'll get started mid March. I'll update this thread with pictures regardless of how it goes!

    Cardone reman steering rack

    I used the Cardone one from Rockauto with no issues. It's honestly not that involved of a job either. I also have a place that does lifetime alignments, so that's really the way to go in my opinion.

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    The timing set I plan on using is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZKQ1J52?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ct_CQXCXB21Y3RXS6XR56Z0 That isn't the same crank alignment too you tried to use is it?

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    So I've been doing my research and have decided to take on the front timing job in spring. I've watched Makuloco's videos and have been lurking around the forums. A few questions still remain for me. What sort of special tools will I need? I see there is a 303-102 Crankshaft Damper Installer and...

    Timing set and a startup anomaly question

    I'll be undertaking this job. A few questions. What did you use for the front main seal installation? The tools I found are all super expensive. Also did the O'Reilley 67006 harmonic damper installer work for you?
