i figure the fords need more money , maybe if i keep paying stupid amounts for repairs the fords will have enough money to get some good players for the lions .

So here is what the old crap looks like all replaced now , what a difference !. All motorcraft parts $300 .The coil pack was not cracked or anything just had that dead bug in tbe back of it .plugs were nasty and wires were as well, runs like a champ again actually much better it seems.

THAT REPAIR WAS ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0303 . Misfire . Secondary arcing and coil weak. Replace coil,wires,plugs ,

I am a proponent of most guys learning and fixing as they go but its not for everyone . No offense intended. I help a lot of young fellows get started , my DAD didn't do any of that and I worked on his . So many guys don't get some mentoring and get stuck with stuff when they can't afford it .
My last renter had transmission fluid in his radiator water ,he had no Idea it had a cooling loop in it . But I ordered him the right one and helped him fix both . He just had a new baby so money was tight . I try do something each month that I don't get anything for .

Make sure you keep the topside of your real wheel wells cleaned out. You can see the access opening when looking up from under the rear bumper at each side, remove the edge of the front fender liner and clean out the fenders too. You'd be surprised how much stuff you'll find in there. Keep the tailgate lip clean as well. It'll do the same as your doors.

The rear wheel wells will rust fast of you don't clean that topside often.

It's a shame to see these trucks rust.


Sorry to get off topic.
