Where is the actual plug located? I have a 98 AWD 5.0 XLT w/the 'ball' in the bumper. BTW - U-Haul appears to still be giving me grief. I want a simple motorcycle trailer for 2 days!!?!?!!! Thanks.

I think RodeoJoe might be on the money ...I didn't do TIMER MODE last night and the 5.0L started like a champ! I did drop a pint of dry gas and filled the tank to 3/4. It's going to be warm the next few days 30-40. I will keep you posted. RodeoJoe, send me that piece of wood so I can knock...

Thanks Guys! I called my Ford Guys and had them do an "OASIS" on my VIN. They claim the 00M12 is not against my 98 AWD 5.0L. I told them my symptoms and they advised me of a defective IAC or DPFE. $280 a pop. So, I went home and whipped out my DEI Valet 552T Security/Remote Starter...

Sounds like our issue as well: On Friday I got hosed in that NY snow storm; my 30min trip took 3.5 hrs [massive stop and go traffic]. Truck has always been a strong starter. I never had to press or hold the gas pedal. During my 3.5 hr trip I stopped off for $20 gas. Sat AM I go to start and...

Recently scored the GTS product off eBay for $29. Been on the Wife's X for 2-3 weeks now. No drilling. Hugs the surface like the one on the blue 2nd gen EB. The cheezy 3M tape install has been fine thus far. Will pict & post.

Just had Borg-Warner wires installed due to the OEM Motorcrafts breaking down and 'arcing'. The Borg's came from PepBoys $70. Plugs are MC double-plats. dinas5pt0 never ran so nice. Remember to go through the wheel wells for the rear plugs. You and your knuckles will thank me l8r.

I've seen the Lund product on a few 2nd gens. Nice. I found the GTS product on eBay for $29 and had to get it. On the Wife's 2nd gen for 2-3 weeks now. I'll do picts when dinas5pt0 is a little cleaner.

You have 2 to create a new one. Don't even think about a remote starter installation w/o the 2nd key. We learned the hard way. My local Ford Guys made ours in a pinch [45 mins] for $85.

V8-X, Like your situation; it didn't take much of an incline to bring on the misfires. I finally got the 98 5.0 AWD XLT into the shop. I gave it to my Mechanic overnight so he could drive it in himself and experience the issue himself. This is what he found: At least one of the...

Had a similar issue w/our 98 AWD 5.0 XLT: Ford replaced the idler pully and talked me into the serpetine while they were under the hood. Sounding good.

Piece of Cake: Fold them rear seats flat. Get a block(s) of wood the height of the wheel-well. Place the block(s) right down the center so the ply/rock won't buckle. Tie the rear hatch handle to your bumper hitch area and get home ASAP ...avoiding the police as your hatch is open...

I recently brought the Wife's 98 AWD 5.0 to AAMCO for what we thought were tranny probs. I explained I would "leave O/D off and the prob never happened". The Guys told me this was NOT a good idea; actually bad for the tranny. We have a mis-fire at low RPMs when in O/D and engine is under...

V8-X, Wife's got almost the same problem w/her 98 5.0 70K miles. Been about a month now. Got plenty of power, just a mis-fire when the engine has a load on it and I'm in O/D & below 1500 rpm. Originally thought it was the tranny. AAMCO took $110 and told me it was not. If I'm...

Took a call from AAMCO this afternoon. It is NOT a transmission problem. They think it's a mis-fire or damaged cylinder of sorts. $190 [no labor] for spark plug wires??!?! Holy Sheit! Off to my local ford dealer I go.

Had the Explorer in just about a year ago. The bill was around $350-400 ...Plugs, filters [incl fuel], tranny fluid, fuel injection service, some other stuff that helped take care of a rough idle. Truck is going to AAMCO tomorrow AM. I'll know by noon if it's going to be a couple hundred or...

Lower RPMs ...usually just as O/D pops in @1300 or so, just above 40mph. I can feather the gas on level ground and get it to stop as I reach higher RPMs. If I'm going uphill I hit O/D off button and proceed. I think I started this thread in the wrong area. I don't have access to delete.

How about this Guys: I take the Wife's 98 5.0 AWD X to Home Depot this weekend for some stuffs. Haven't been in the truck for weeks. Feels a little weird, bucking/jerking in Overdrive. I get home and question her: "Yeah, I meant to tell you about that. I noticed it a while ago"... So...
