    ticking in motor

    i have some ticking in my engine, it goes in waves. It will tick for 15 seconds then stop for a a bit, then come back, but once the truck is fully warm, it doesn't tick. Lifters or injector?

    crappy fuel economy.

    I went 370kilometers on a full tank of gas. That needs to stop. There doesn't seem to be any more fuel dumping into my oil now, i don't get a CEL, and the truck runs great. I went 660kilometers last summer going to Vancouver and back on one tank.

    nasty front end clunking.

    When I apply the brakes or accelerate and turn a corner i hear a clunking from the front right. I have checked my radius arm bushings, they were replaced just before i bought the truck a year ago, and they seem really tight by trying to move them with 2 hands. Is there anything else it could be?

    Sping over Axle flip

    So, is doing the spring over axle flip as simple as cutting the mounts from the bottom of the axle and welding them to the top? Do I need any special parts other then new U bolts? Also, is it better to raise the shock mounts or to keep them lower? Another thing I want to do is put F150 spacers...

    Still getting fuel in my oil.

    I changed out my injector that was on the cylinder with the low compression. I'm still getting fuel in my oil. I don't know what else it could be that is causing fuel to drain into my oil. My fuel economy also sucks royally. Any more suggestion would be appreciated.

    Custom cold air intake and cone?

    Anyone have any good suggestions for creating an aluminum cold air intake, to a cone filter? And is there anywhere i can route my cone filter so it picks up extra air from the grill? And lastly, is it worth it?

    vacuum line melted

    There is a vacuum line that goes from the intake manifold, near the brake booster line, that follows the same route the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator. It goes to the air filter box though. It melted and now there is no way air can pass through, the line is completely severed. What...

    Replaced the injector, updated

    So i replaced that injector today, it was the biggest pain in my ass. I tore it all down, replaced the injector and gaskets, then put it all back together. Then i went to pressure check the fuel system and it started puking fuel out of the number 4 injector. I had to pull it all apart again to...

    oil level sensor?

    Is the oil level sensor also called an oil sender unit? I have been looking everywhere for an oil level sensor for the left hand side of my oil pan.

    do I need a new gasket

    If im going to pull off my throttle body and my fuel rails, should i replace the gasket under the throttle body? Also, my 4.0L has seperate fuel rails, and the one i pulled the injectors out of had the fuel rails built right into the intake manifold. Are both of these injectors going to be the same?

    Fuel in oil update.

    So i took my truck to a 4.0L specialist, and he said the most common cause for fuel in the oil in one of these is one injector will not seal properly after the truck is shut off, therefor leaking fuel into the oil over time. The thing i wanted to know was, is there any way to determine which...

I have checked my spark plugs to see whether it was running rich, but they are all burning very clean. Where can the fuel be coming from? injector o rings and seal? or lower intake...

    Loud Wapping in front end.

    I get a loud wapping sound in the front end. I pulled both front tires off, removed hubs, spindles, and stub axles, also inspecting all the bearings and splines... every looks brand new. I decided to see if the sound came from the differential so i plunked the stub axle shaft back into the...
