    4.0 pushrod coolant leak

    Yep....looks like what I have. My biggest issue with pulling those heads is that my exhaust manifolds are not likely to come off easily. The photo shows the manifolds removed and left in the engine bay. I doubt will be the case for me if I pull those heads and I will have to eat dirt, lying...

I have GM, Chrysler along with several Fords and I like the Fords the best! I will keep reading and...

    4.0 pushrod coolant leak

    Have done some reading about the 4.0 pushrod engine leaking coolant here and there. I have that problem with the 4.0 in my 98 Ranger. Coolant disappearing, oil was milky plus white exhaust at initial startup/warm up. So I removed the plenum, lower intake, front engine cover and found several...
