Dono, Good to hear from you! That Mustang looks like a lot of fun, and easier to work on is a definite plus. Parts are easier to come by too. The fusion has had great reviews, the hybrid is the way to go to save fuel. Full electric vehicles don't seem to fit into our lives like the Hybrids do...

Good bye 2004 Explorer. It's time for change.

Evil is going to look even more..... Evil! I can't wait to see it when it is done!

This post was moved here from another thread for the same vehicle, so it doesn't seem to make sense. In the other post it was stated that lights were staying on and the liftgate would not open from any input, which makes it hard to diagnose or fix. This video below is an example of a way to open...

Sounds awesome! Nice work!

Changing out the wheels might help make it look less of a police cruiser, if you have those black steel wheels with chrome center caps. Of course, then you would have to do without the strength of those wheels, which I heard can withstand a pretty hard impact and not break. One day I was coming...

I got this hood scoop from Ebay. Its an aftermarket, Mopar look a like, bolt on fiberglass hood. It covered up a hole in a junkyard hood that I cut to clear a Ford Lightning supercharger I had on there for a while. When I installed the GT500 supercharger I was able to put my stock hood back on...

Today I had the day off and I drove to a nearby park and took a walk. When I arrived back at my truck it would not start, it would not crank over at all. The theft light was out so I knew it wasn't a PATS problem. Battery voltage seemed to be there as everything else worked and I made sure it...

Check for vacuum leaks.

If I remember correctly, the pins are different. I cut my old ev1 connectors off and soldered on the new ev6's. They make adaptors, but I'm sure they will cause problems down the road when they come loose or something to that effect. I would not use them unless your injector connectors are easy...

Looks easy to get to now! LOL. Great idea that might help working on this to be a little easier. Why do you think the headers keep cracking?

Yesterday (6/17/2023) I installed a front differential pinion seal. (Mileage 147,643) This had been leaking for quite some time, and I had topped off the fluid once to keep it from self destructing . I used this factory pinion seal installer and it worked flawlessly. I obtained this tool when...

Wait, something isnt right. You said you have an integrated DPFE sensor. If you do then it also has an integrated EGR solenoid.(but it is listed separately on your list of parts) Can you take a picture of the egr valve and post it here to eliminate any confusion. I will try to help as best as I can.

I have seen the third to the last possible causes (hoses reversed) that caused a P0401 that was hard to diagnose because all parts were new. When a situation like happens you fall back on what could have gone wrong. If the hoses are installed backwards the voltage will go down towards 0 instead...
