    How to replace power steering pump?

    I have a 1999 5.0 Explorer. I believe the power steering pump is starting to go. I can’t find much information on replacing the pump on the 5.0. Could someone drop some info or a link please ?

    Inconsistently Lean 5.0?

    So now I’ve tracked the source of the vacuum leak so I thought. I have AC now and I’m running a lot smoother but now I’m lean on bank 2 still but only when the ac is off. So when you the AC is off my oxygen sensors are reading fine but I’m lean on bank 2. When my AC is on my oxygen sensors go...

    Lean Code Help

    I’ve had this lean code for awhile now. I’ve narrowed it down to what appears to be a vacuum leak but I want to share my trucks numbers just to confirm. I also want to share some weird stuff that’s been happening. So my long term bank 2 has been in the 20’s for awhile I’m assuming this is my...

    P0174 Issue

    My fuel filter, fuel pump and assembly along with the injectors have been replaced and now after replacing my thermostat I went on a test drive and now I have a P0174 Lean on bank 2. How do I figure out what this is? Truck knock on wood runs fine. No issues as of now. 1999 Explorer 5.0L V8

Upon connecting the no spill funnel to the radiator I filled the radiator up until...

    Broken ECT?

    So a couple months ago I asked about a broken thermostat. My trucks internal temperature wouldn’t move past 145 and the gauge inside the truck wouldn’t really move past the C unless I turnt the AC on. Now with the new thermostat the trucks internal temperature is 160-165 which is still low and...

    Seized Injectors

    When I tell you that all 8 of my injectors are seized inside of my engine I’m not lying. I’ve gotten 3 out but they’ve taken about 30-45 mins each of careful prying and penetration fluid. I stopped at 3 because the next one I tried working on really did not want to budge and I thought I’d come...

    Fuel Injector Replacement

    Can anyone please provide any pictures or a good step process on how to remove fuel injectors from a 1999 Explorer 5.0L V8. I’m fairly confident in my own abilities I just want to make sure I have this down before I go and tackle this.
