Ford updated all that with a good fix that I haven't seen fail yet, BUT, only the reman engines received the upgraded heater core hardline. There's a picture of it in one of the Haynes or Chilton manuals....If you own one lol.

BTW, -the HCHL by-pass by the firewall is there for the trucks that have the Cold Climate system package.
Thanks JBrew. From where it's leaking, sounds like the bypass is leaking; at least that's the general location

Cats are clogged so they're being cut,I've got an sct tuner ordered so the o2 sensors won't be an issue. Performance wise will I lose anything by not having cats?

That's awesome man. Just liked your page. If you don't have plans for Oct 24-26, come on down to the Iron Horse Mud Ranch in Perry Fl! We have some good bogs down here too!

Florida is full of boggin parks lol. Ever been to the west ga mud park? Thinking about hitting that place after I build a proper mud truck.
