Sounds like a little recon or an informant is in order, Brew.
A late bite of breakfast for me, then I need to change the battery in the Jeep. I bought one earlier this week because the auto start/stop kept saying "Not ready. Battery is charging," but it seemed to be starting fine. Yesterday I pulled it out of the garage to have room to work on seat heater #2. After setting outside in the cold, it wouldn't restart. Charged the battery, and only got two starts before it said "nope, no more." Hope your timing is just as good.
A couple of spade connectors on the truck-side wires, and the passenger seat will be ready to put back in. Almost scary how much more quickly this one went compared to the first one.
Didn't go as planned for me. Yea , sounds like that battery is toast. I know you'll go after a fresh interstate...,- you know,you could always step up to an Odyssey.
2nd ones always quicker... the first is like harassment.
On the 4.2 anyway, there's a short flexible hose between the stainless lines on the trans and to the rail. The flexible hose appears to be just pressed on to the stainless for about 2 inches on each end. Is the line crimped between the stainless and flexible line?
I know what your talking about, yea those are heat pressed on the rail itself. I've never seen those leak, but it's a possibility. It's pumping out pretty good somewhere back there, no small leak that's for sure. I'm surprised it fired up and was drivable. It was about 100 ft to the garage.

Thanks for the info. I picked up a Radium rail, regulator and pressure gage kit for the Coyote and the AN lines only were made to go to the stainless lines at the transmission. I haven't installed any of it yet but it doesn't look like there's any extra length to the new lines if I had to deal with an unexpected crimp or flare on the stainless. And I'm writing this after posting my opinion of people not thinking or preparing for the work they're getting in to! You mentioning a leak at the transmission sparked my interest about what you're dealing with. Thanks again.
Cheers for that info, My 2001 does already have rear disks and would like to keep the 9.75 if I can, I'll have to see what they say about cost etc.
As for driving the truck over here, it's not too bad really, I had a 97 Mustang for almost 5 yrs before getting the truck so LHD isn't a problem and size is manageable 99% of the time, the other 1% is other people getting in the way... lol
It's my daily driver but I only put about 6k miles on it a year, it will probably go up next year now we have the travel trailer over here and we start going away more for weekends etc..
Was just remembering the country roads and busy farmers around Huntingdon. It wasn't unusual to back up until there was someplace to pull off and that was with a Escort MK5, not an F150.
Copped a seat in the easy chair for now, they are kicking butt on the paint. I pulled a little tape just to get some time in.
Those flex lines your referring to are 12" on the 5fours. It might be leaking there at the bottom, can't see too much in the way. I'll pull the exhaust Y off the headers if I work on it again this year (quick change system, only takes 10 minutes to pull the Y). Not feeling it today.
I might have to pick up a brush, was yelled at for rearranging some ornaments on the tree lol.
LOL. Yea, well, doesn't help I misinterpreted the BYOB text ...guess it meant bring your own brush. I using a little pad thingy w/wheels to cut in. Trying not to get paint on the wheels and myself lol.
Fooling around with that gas line, gas ran up my wrist and fuel soaked my sleeve. Has to shed a layer so I wasn't so combustible in the house. Hey , we are having fun over here, always lol.
That ford vs Ferrari movie was on motor trend channel tonight. I got to watch it. It was Great. I never knew some of that ever occurred
I caught part of that on Motor Trend but that wasn't the movie. That was a documentary about the history behind the movie. I missed most of it but what I did see was all about the GT40 and the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans race. There's a documentary about the race that follows it accident by accident and DNF cars. Worth watching if you anyone has the opportunity to.
