    Modifications for 5.0 AWD for more hp

    Well your right oil from the tranny does go through the radiator but the engine oil does not. Now my 99 mountaineer has the 5.0 L and 2wd I couldn’t find the engine oil going through the radiator.

    Electric Trailer Brakes questions

    Check the wiring but you can also have one out of adjustment. If you turn the voltage up on your brake control and the problem goes away you should adjust the brake. Behind the backing plate is a slot with a rubber stopper. Remove the stopper and you can reach the star adjuster adjust the star...

Like the fine soul on a quest for 30 MPG I am also looking to improve my MPG but I am also looking for the HP that is lost in parasitic drag on the engine. Well it looks like all the electric fans...

    How to: Diagnosing DPFE Sensor (P0401 and P0402) with Scan Tool

    Water trap sure if you can find one that can handle the heat and the acids Plus find the room to put it in. But the more volume you add to the system the slower the responce to pressure change which would slow down the computer responce time. The best thing to do is drain the lines every 50,000...

    How to: Diagnosing DPFE Sensor (P0401 and P0402) with Scan Tool

    A check valve would make the problem worse you need a much larger ID tube before the Transducer so the water surface tension can not hold the water in place in the tubing.

    How to: Diagnosing DPFE Sensor (P0401 and P0402) with Scan Tool

    You maybe right that you detected a fault in the DPFE sensor but in 70% of the returned product from Ford the transducers were functional and in operational ranges. Most of the automotive repairs are plug and play so when you replaced the sensor you drained the trapped water in the lines leading...

    Cast Iron for manifolds, I was look at extrusion honing to clean up the inside of the castings but they want as much for the honing as they do for the headers. But I am sure that the ports are way small in the manifolds. So if I could do some old fashion porting that may help a bit. The cat back...

    The sharp of the trailer has a lot to do with it. Ours is a 22’ and the GVW for it is 5600 LBS I figure we are at about 4900 lbs when we are on the road. I have pulled other trailers but the story that the airstream is a dream to pull is very true.
