Has anyone ever succesfully replaced the small hose from.the water pump to the therm housing without removing water pump or therm housing?Ive been trying for an hour to get it on there and getting aggrivated.

My 99 sport had been leaking coolant for awhile.I knew where it was coming from but with work hours and kids,just didnt have time to swap it out.But we had a nice stretch of weather this week and i decided to take the day off and get it done. It was in there tight and one of the bolts broke off...

He guys,I did a search for this particular issue and didnt find anything.I have both starter bolts out.I have the front driveshaft out of the way but there is no way possible that I see to get the starter past the front diff.Do I need to remove the differential to get the starter out?Can i...

I have a 99 Sport 4.0 sohc. When I turn the key I hear the fuel pump kick in for about 3 to 4 seconds. But when I go out to the engine and hit the pressure relief valve nothing happens. But if I get someone to crank the engine over fuel shoots out of the relief valve. Should I have pressure on...

I'm installing the trailer hookup on my 99 sport. I have an adapter on the passenger side that has a black cover and I have a similar-looking adapter on the driver side with a gray cover which one do I use for the towing adapter?

hey Guys.i was putting a fuel pump in my 99 sport today and i messed up the little locking retainer that clips the fuel line to the pump.how can i fix this?Is that little metal clip with the locking ears sold by itself at a Ford dealer?Thanks for your help.Can i purchase that portion of the hose...

So heres the issue.Im having a sporadic cranking issue.I have to turn the key anywhere from 8-10 times for the fuel pump to kick in.Its not the fuel pump or relay.I have narrowed it to something being wrong with the lock cylinder.If i purchase one from autozone that comes with new keys will it...

Well,When I bought it 7 years ago with 101,000 on the ODO,I really didnt think I would ever see the 200,000 mark.But 7 years later,it refuses to die.I have never had any problems with it other than front wheel hubs.Just thought I would give the old girl a pat on the back.

My wife and I are expecting our first child in February so all of this "child restraint" stuff is new to me.I was looking at the rear seatbelts in my sport and I am a little concerned about putting a baby back there.My first concern is that the rear seat base on the sport will raise slightly...

Just thought I'd give the ex a pat on the back.She rolled over to the 210,000 mile mark last month.(It actually has 211,500 on it now).Still rolling strong and showing no signs of stopping.Its a 4.0 sohc and I have been lucky with the timing issues.Never had to do anything to them and never...

The last week I have had a strange issue with my braking system.It works fine and then all of a sudden,I will hit the brakes to stop and it has a weird feeling that feels exactly like the anti lock system does when you hit them suddenly.Yesterday the ABS light came on for about 5 minutes and...

Im hoping that i dont jinx anything by posting this but I just had to post that much to my surprise,my 99 sport with the 4.0 should turn over to the 200,000mile club sometime this week.I replaced the entire cooling system this summer after some cooling issues,and other than the occassional worn...

Ok,so I completely redone my cooling system and got rid of the overheating problem,but I noticed that the outside air temperature on the panel mounted to the ceiling was way off.It was 87 outside but the themometer was reading 124.Im assuming that I bumped the sensor while I was redoing the...

Well,after the new fan clutch,water pump and thermostat didnt fix the overheating,I tried a new radiator.That was the problem.I was curious as to what exactly was clogged in the old radiator so I busted the plastic reservoir apart and the top of the radiator was clean but the ports on the bottom...

Well,I put the new water pump,t-stat and fan clutch in the sohc 4.0 today and shockingly it is still overheating under a load and at slow travel.Im ok with putting everything on that I did because it was all the original factory parts and they have 200,000 miles on them but,I guess my next step...

Gonna put a new fan clutch and water pump on this weekend and I cant find the torque specs on the water pump bolts anywhere.Anybody got that info handy?Thanks.

My 99 sport runs fine unless the engine is under a load.If I am out on the interstate it does fine but if I have the a/c on in the city or climbing a hill,the temp gage shoots up.The fan clutch feels the same no matter if the engine is hot or cold.Could that be my problem?

I am considering using 10-w30 because I have the opportunity to get a heck of a deal in bulk drums,but......I know that 5w-30 is a thinner oil that does better for startup lubrication on the SOHC timing tensioner.What are some of you guys thoughts on this?Anyone run 10-w30 in their SOHC for...

Im changing the fan clutch on my 4.0 sohc.Every search I found came up with answers that were either conflicting or beating around the bush.So since mine says "right hand thread" on the fan shroud,if I am standing in front of the ex,looking down at the fan clutch nut,Do I turn a right hand...

Near the end of last summer my 99 4.0 sohc started overheating if I was at a red light.It would slowly cool down after I started driving again or turned the A/C off.I replaced the Thermostat and it didnt help.Could it be the fan clutch or the serp. belt slipping?It didnt do it over the winter...

i have a 99 sport 4.0 sohc.Just starting to get cold here in Va.I went to let the Ex warm up and after running for about 10 minutes at idle,there was barely any heat blowing.After I revved it up and got moving it warmed right up.The water level is full and it has a new thermostat.Could a bad fan...

While i was filling up today and looking at the 10% ethanol warning on the pump,I began to think.If pretty much all fuel now has ethanol in it,do I really need to waste money on fuel injector cleaner?.After all,fuel injector cleaner is just basically ethanol anyway so using it would actually put...

I have searched and some say the cam sensor makes the chirp noise and others say its the crank sensor.I have 4.0 SOHC and I would like to go ahead and fix this problem before it gets worse.

Some of you may have read my frustrating posts about the front end roar and how nothing I did fixed it.well today,I fixed it accidentally by fixing a different problem.I had replaced wheel bearings and both lower ball joints but only one of the upper ball joints because the other one didnt seem...

Im thinking of testing something on my 99 sport with the driveshaft off but from what I read on here you should never remove the front driveshaft if you have the AWD.Mine has a switch inside that says Auto,low,high.So is mine AWD and is it safe to remove my front shaft to drive it for a test?
