    bad 2003 u-joints?

    I had the same issue recently, so sent it off to get balanced. Found there was a issue with the UJs, one side had 2 seals the other had none. Must have happened during install, I do remember the end caps came away easy.

    5R55S 1-2 4-5 shift buzzing

    Hi all Immediately after the 1-2 shift, i hear a quiet buzz come from under the vehicle, right between the front seats. I also get the same buzz when braking to a stop, assuming this is the shift back to 1. It only seems to happen when the vehicle is cold, once warmed up, I dont notice it. The...

    Need Help with Choosing Right Tire and Wheel Size

    Looks good! For a closer match to stock rolling length, 20" Rims with 275/45 is closer to stock. For anyone else wanting to check, I use the comparison tool here https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/

    Worth keeping?

    To my knowledge, most tranny issues are with 5R55W, you probably have 5R55S. I'd do the servo bores fix and keep it! https://www.fordservoboretransmissionfixsolution.com/

    Squeak from pully?

    Easiest way to diagnose is take the belt off, and inspect the pulleys. Also, with the belt off, start up and listen.

    rear panel cracked ... what alternative options do i have?

    There wasnt a recall. There was a tsb that's all.

    Leak on back of the engine

    No dont use coolant sealant, that's a stop gap measure best left for situations where you are far from home. Also, its basically you giving in on correctly identifying the source of your leak. Coolant leaks are usually easy to trace. First, clean up the existing puddle, park up again, return...

    This might be a stupid question

    Your correct, you should tune after any intake/exhaust mods. UDP and electric fan dont require tuning.

    You got the 2 wheel drive? Many people would love to know how you get that level of efficiency with no mods. Please share.

    How to install an electric fan PICS

    Hard to comment on actual fuel economy for me as i wasnt tracking fuel mileage until recently. Currently 15.27 mpg city 17.9 mpg h/w Fan and fan controller still working perfectly.

    4.6L Performance Mods

    I dont have any issues with them but I never did the alternator pulley. I was more nervous about a fan controller failing than the UDPs. I got a flexalite 33054 controller, still going strong after several years.

    4.6L Performance Mods

    Another member here Zerodevil liked his headers, but not sure on numbers or butt dyno. Check some of his posts, he was the self-proclaimed bolt-on king :) I have a RHD Explorer ( we drive on the left over here) and the headers have specific clearance for the steering shaft so would never fit...

    4.6L Performance Mods

    K&N have a specific item for our vehicles. 57-2564 For exhaust, I'd get the Flowmaster Super 50, or if you want loud, Super 44. Depends how much resonance drone your prepared to accept. Also get some JBA headers. You'll need to tune for these, so SCT definitely the way to go. Check these guys...

    Rear Lift Gate (upper one) Plastic broke in half

    Nope, no recall. If it happened in the 1st 5 years after manufacturer, then it was likely covered under their panel warranty. You dont have to continuously fix it so long as you fix it properly. To do that, you must first realise why it broke in the first place. It broke because the glue...

    Note! Anyone wanting to paint their headlights and NOT using projectors, then DONT spray the cones! They are important for reflecting light and you will f%#$ your lights if you spray them.
