is it leaving puddles? Or just dots? ALL cars develop leaks. I dont care what brand, miles, or year built. Gaskets rot and leak. Looks like it *COULD* be the transmission pan gasket. Which is very easy to replace.

Well both motors are SOHC soooo haha Anything is possible. Do you have an OBDII scanner? A $20 bluetooth OBDII device and the $5 Forscan app will show and tell all sorts for any Ford.

My diff whines like crazy and has a pretty good vibration when at partial throttle which neutrals the torque in the diff as it is neither being driven by the engine or driving the engine. Every time I let off and get on the gas when on the highway I get the vibration and loud gear noise as the...

Let the car run without the MAF and go for a short drive. If it wont run with the MAF then most likely the MAF is faulty. ECUs use the MAF as the #1 reference for fuel. Without it present it defaults to throttle, MAP, O2s

Junk yard will be perfectly fine. Capacitors last decades and usually only fall out of spec for high tolerance applications. The junk yard near me is filled with 3rd gen explorers. A few 2nd & 4th but just littered with 3rd gens. Stupid easy to find anything you need.

It's to reduce noise for everything in the electrical system. It would be best to grab another one or simply install a common electronics capacitor in its place. The noise emitted can interfere with every computer in the car. (which is a lot of computers!)

Capacitive noise isolator. Should be on the front of the intake. It's to suppress the EMI noise that the coils & injectors produce...

What kind of driving? Slow, stop n go, going to work? That's normal. No worries. Highway? Slow driver or speedster? Should see 15~16

Junk yard is your best bet.

Do everyone else a favor, especially concerning THEIR safety. STAY STOCK. When you install aftermarket (illegal) bulbs they are brighter than they should be, unfiltered, and a harsh color temperature. All this adds up to you blinding other drivers because of the illegal lights in your vehicle...

Be prepared to: Remove steering column covers Kick plate Lower dash panel (right where your knees are) Removing the driver seat Laying on your back and contorting into extremely uncomfortable positions for hours Cramming your hands into extremely tight spaces Having no room to actually put the...

This may help but the tank & pump are designed to run to empty. The tank has a raised spiral pattern to trap fuel at the pump inlet and the pump usually have a small bypass that keeps a jacket around the pump full so when it does suck in air it will just pull from this jacket to compensate...

specially the heater core. Also, make sure there is significantly less airflow at 90* vs 60*. 60* is full heater core bypass and evap only which is low static against the blower and thus plenty of airflow. 90* is full heater core and evap core which is high static against the blower and far...

most likely batteries are dying in the sensors. A shop can scan the TPMS codes
