Is that carbon I see on that yellow cap.....or Milk Dud dribble?

That ground in the box looks close to that brown...could be some fireworks there lol.

I must getting grounds confused with Brown wire, You did say it was brown wire earlier...

No factory wheel arch flares to work around. Haven't seen them on the Lariats, the XLT's have them. That made for a tighter seal around wheel arch inside the well. I was worried that I might have a water intrusion problem there...Fords like to rust around that arch given the chance. I think it's going to be alright now that they're installed.

I did attempt to take pictures around noon yesterday..only to confirm the cameras screwed up in the 10. It beeps but doesn't take a picture. I'll grab my other camera today if I remember. Less writing with a picture or two.

 

What year your truck?
I thought it one of the aluminum bodies.
That probably won't rust.

 

I don't think it's aluminum..that didn't happen until 2017...body style change. Mine is a 13....a Florida 13.

Not the greatest pic...old Canon sureshot lol, -



I'll upload better ones to a folder on this site

Not into the picture thing as you know, uploaded the folder here, looks like it worked...better pics of the wheel well work. Click on make them grow...check it out, should help with rust prevention, more pics, -

That's a steel one.
Sweet ride though!

 

Thanx!

Since the engine turned out to be perfectly fine, compression was also very close from cylinder to cylinder comparisons. The critical issue was the knock sensor readings. I was fortunate as it originated from a cracked coil closest to the a knock sensor, drivers side (#7). A Severe magnetic disturbance with high arching created ignition havoc. The dealership didn't spend enough time on it....advantage me, lucked out with this one. It was a little more than that, the plug wires and all 16 spark plugs were bad at 122,000 miles....originals.
One replacement coil (cracked one), I repaired the other 7 coils x relocating resister from holders to the inside of coil springs. They needed repair due to the resister holders (build-ins) fell apart inside. There's no fix for the holder or coil published. , Attempted a spring mod also replace plugs/wires.
You know.. it doesn't run any different, it actually ran good with it's issues. Difference is, it's no longer coding and arching so badly you could hear from inside the cab.

Trying to figure out how in the world they ended up with the yellow submarine again. That's a story for sure lol.

Watched half of it so far.

 

If I get this it could be twinsies with my truck.

Except my truck operates almost perfectly.

 

Looks clean, has those plastic type OEM running boards... and they look straight. That type deforms badly when the rockers are rusty. They mount to them. Looks solid , just the body is worth more that much if it's as mint as seems. Salvage pays 800 on that one and they'll come get it if it fails...lol

If you could use one ...
