Friday my truck quit, as if it had run out of gas. It had been stalling randomly for a couple of weeks. My diagnosis was the fuel pump relay. Evidently I was right. It's cooked literally. It's not serviceable and a replacement CJB costs over $500 and has to be ordered. I don’t have the time or...

Sorry, I meant PCV. I replaced the collapsed hose and the valve seems free. Is there anything else I should check as far as the PCV system goes?

I posted this in the Modular forum yesterday. I hope you don't mind that I post it here as well.It doesn't seem possible that an oil leak this serious can start so suddenly. Shortly after my truck turned over 300,000 miles I noticed a slight oil burning smell at startup. In almost no time it's...

Thanks. It's burning off the exhaust pipes. There are shields directly under the leak that seem to collect oil overnight. Where is the pressure sending unit?

It doesn't seem possible that an oil leak this serious can start so suddenly. Shortly after my truck turned over 300,000 miles I noticed a slight oil burning smell at startup. In almost no time it's progressed to the point where my undercarriage is covered in oil and I leave a cloud of smoke...

I haven't pulled the plugs to check for compression. I have fuel pressure at the rail, how can I find out if the injectors are firing?

My 17 year old son drives a '96 f150 with a 300ci inline six. Evidently, it developed a pin hole in one of the steel pipes that the heater hoses are connected to and pumped out most of the coolant. My son was oblivious to this until it cut off in a plume of steam. I was hoping against hope...

Hey guys, it's been a while . My '03 F250 4x4 and I have been doing well , Until....Saturday I heard a rubbing type of sound coming from my right front wheel while turning in to a parking lot . It was pretty loud . After some experimenting it seems like it will make the noise when the wheels are...

I changed out #7 today with a new borg warner. It came with a lifetime warranty. ORiley only had dielctric gel in tiny contaners so I didn't use it. This weekend I'm going to remove clean and seal with gel all 8 coils. Any thoughts on sealing the tops of the boots with the gel?

ThxThanks for the tip. Any good ( easy ) way to find the bad one ?

My 03 5.4 Super Duty goes through ignition coils like crazy. It has about 170,000 miles on it and I've replaced at least 5 coils. I'm thinking of replacing the whole set with MSD or Accel, and installing them with dilectric gel on the boots to keep out contaminants which aren't doing the coils...

Wow, Sure did. It was the abs computer,and it was expensive. But it's fixed. Thanks

I guess you didn't hear the looonngg story. (short version) Got in a wreck back in sept. She was in the shop for a month. Ran great until... Feb. major electrical issues, Check engine light, tranny light, abs light, no speedo etc... Ford dealer said the abs electical cntrl and hydraulic cntrl...

It's been at least four months, but I got my truck back yesterday! She gave my mechanic some gray hairs but he and his guys did an outstanding job and Big Red runs sweet. I spent the afternoon cleaning her up and today I'm waiting for the temp outside to drop below 90 degrees so I can wax her...

Just an update on the fate of my truck ( Big Red ). I came into some money, I found a reputable mechanic, and she's in the shop. This will be expensive! But, there's nothing I'd rather spend my money on. Today I stumbled upon a screaming deal on a used Century Royal cap. Does anyone have a pic...

Not enough power my butt ! My truck will go !! Don't pay attention to the Hp. numbers , the torque is there . This is my second 5.4 Super Duty. 100,000 trouble free miles from each( if I hadn't wrecked this one ) . I don't tow often but when i do it's heavy. 7000 lb trucks and tractors , fully...

Thanks, I'll wait to hear. No hurry. I can't afford the repairs yet.

Looking for the best Ford mechanic in the area to fix my baby ( Big Red ). I live in Coats , Harnett County. Red will need the ABS hydraulic and electronic control units replaced before any communications with thecomputer can take place ( according to the dealership that did the diagnosis )...

My 03 had a similar issue a while back and it turned out to be water trapped in and around the spark plug recess by the coil. It started while driving in a downpour.

OH MAN !!! I dont have a solution for you, but I feel your pain. Can't listen to the radio with the ignition off , can't leave the keys in the ignition. DOME LIGHT!! What a pain!

Some of you have heard this before and I appreciate your help.Back in September I was in ( and caused ) a fairly major head on collision. Me in my 2003 F-250 4x4, vs. a late model Camry. Everyone but the Camry is OK, Sort of… My truck “Big Red” sustained some serious front end damage...

My odometer is also not working?

If you recall, my truck was in a front end accident...hmmmm? Digging around I found a small harness in a wire bundle coming from the rt.front brakes that appears to have been broken and glued-sealed. Any possibilities??
