    What is this and how do I fix it?

    Just a follow-up, I had AZ check my DTCs and two came up, the one I want to focus on for now is P0455 EVAP Large Leak Detected. One of the probable causes is 'Vacuum leak At Engine', could this be caused by my EGR crack?

    What is this and how do I fix it?

    Awesome, thanks bud! I usually keep CLP on me at all times, because I'm a fan of firearms and own several - do you think that would cut through, or should I grab some DC?

    Who's ready for round two of 'What did Scrovak find in his truck?'

    Thanks all for everyone's help and information. I went to AZ to try and find a connector to join the broken lines, however the smallest they had was 1/8", which was the exact diameter of the line - too big to work. So I clipped a piece off the end of the broken line and had him get me a hose...

    What is this and how do I fix it?

    Todd, what all was involved in replacement? I want to replace it but was a bit shy at ordering the part from Rock Auto at $30 because it didn't look the same, but you've confirmed it is the appropriate part, just without the silly little ripples. Looks like I have another Sunday project...

    How to: Replace Spark Plugs and Wires – 97 Ford Explorer, 6 Cylinder, SOHC

    OP, great advice, thank you. I found this forum via this thread, while figuring out how to replace mine. For me, the biggest issue came with the right side #3 plug. For some reason, the socket I was using wouldn't enter the well far enough to grip the plug. I ended up having to basically...

    Who's ready for round two of 'What did Scrovak find in his truck?'

    It affected your heater controls? Do you think this little sumbitch could be the reason I only have defrost, like yours? Ha! That's crazy, I have no leg or torso blowers, but my truck will defrost like a champ all day every day. Wow. Ok, are the lines themselves replaceable, or will I have...

    Oh we've got Yeungling on tap like it's Bud out here! That stuff is my lifeblood! And thank you for your appreciation, but the work I do is as a contractor right now. That changes with my enlistment in the Army Reserve this fall but, until then, I couldn't accept your thanks. Though I'll...

    Who's ready for round two of 'What did Scrovak find in his truck?'

    Hey all, thanks for your help in determining it was an EGR pipe I had a crack in, in the last thread. I just replaced my spark plugs and wires Sunday with the great help I found in another thread here. While doing so, I removed my right splash guard, and this little guy tumbled out. I didn't...

    What is this and how do I fix it?

    Hey all. I like working on my own truck, but I'm not always able to easily identify parts, and the world seems to be sorely lacking in the sort of exploded diagrams and user friendly parts manuals I'm used to using on military vehicles. I was going to replace my exhaust manifold (passenger...
