That is exaclty what I did but with half the mileage. At this point I suggest to the OP do a 1 drain and refill (4.5 qts) every other engine oil change at the soonest. At this point ther's a lot of clutch material in the fluid that is actually helping that's why I would go against a full flush...

I´m not an expert but my best guess is: red wire that goes from the fuse box to the starter (+) white wire with a green strip is not connected (- or ground) you need to check the schematics to re-connect it. My guess is that the starter is getting the ground (very bad ground source) from the...

Maybe a dumb question, did you ask the previous owner if he still has the OEM exhaust? Is the truck tuned? Maybe you need to de-tune it (go back to stock) or re-tune it before you take off the actual exhaust.

I would check the starter ground or the starter load. With heavy rain I would guess the bottom of the engine bay and the parts near the grille would get wet.

Yes but in his first post he states is an Ecoboost I4

I was thinking more of a bad head gasket (I hope not, really), I believe the water pump in the 2.3 is a normal, external one belt driven. Not like the 3.5 and 3.7.

JAJA nice one! Thanks

It seem this codes are like ghost codes or bugs, looking at Ford Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Definition, Causes and Diagnosis there are several Bulletins, they point out to perform module firmware updates or calibrations, the bulletins state that no repairs are needed if there´s no an actual...

Thanks Peter, last night I was replying from my cel and with chrome it doesn´t show that info.

It could be the transmision, before you do anything check the fluid level.

Truck's year? Check the basics, coolant level, correct cooling fan function. Check oil in the dipstick if it'normal or milk shake color. Check accesories belt tension Any stored code.

Every once in a while I do a scan with Forscan and I find 2 pending codes: 1. ABS Module: U0452:68-AB "Invalid Data Received from Restraint Control Module" 2. RCM or Restraint Control Module: U3000:49-0B "Control Module Internal Electronic Failure" Codes are pending, Check Engine light or any...

I would check the 3.7 from an interceptor, someone in this forum did the upgrade, there are a few things to consider but could be an easy swap.

On the highway I get at least 24 mpgs (as much as 27) with my 13 XLT, stock rims, 33 psi. I try to drive at speed limit, not over. If you look at the rpms you shouldn't go past 2k at 6th gear, anything above 2k your mpg will drop exponentially. I also replace spark plugs with OEM ones well...

That is why I like my XLT with 18 inch rims so much. I mean the 20s on the limited are eye candy, love them, but comfort is first. I use 33 psi instead of the 35, the ride comfort is even better and my mpg don't suffer a bit or at least I haven't noticed any loss. I don't know if the 20s will be...

If it´s an new or remanufactured PCM you most likely will need to flash the PCM at the dealer or at a shop that has the Ford software. If you took the PCM from another truck you need to program your Vin#. I´m no sure if you can do that with Forscan. Either options won´t have your keys programed...

The degas bottle works different from the old reservoir. With the degas there is actually a coolant flow constantly and increases as the thermostat opens and/or the engine rpms increase. With this system I did a coolant flush about a month ago, I still had a mix of orange and yellow (which is...

I´ve always thought things like this should come from factory. The dumb temp sensor will say everything is fine until suddenly it isn´t. The OK temperature range is so wide it would be great if they put an orange range. In my case my nose was the sensor, one day I was parking at home (thank...

ECO mode is supposed to lower the throttle response and shift points. By doing that you can get better gas mileage. I´d suggest you try it out. Try to drive at least a week in ECO then try Normal. Sport is for seldom occasions, I believe if you set it on Sport after you shut down the truck it...

I use it for the garage door remote

Peter, oh Peter. This was before the divorce...

I´ve seen that some tuners (as far as I know) recommend that you hook up a baterry charger while flashing the PCM to avoid a voltage drop and have this sort of problems. Check that out.

Are the spark plugs OEM Motorcraft? I would replace with new ones anyway, bought at the dealer so you avoid counterfit parts. Different vehicle, I was trying to fix a missfire in a mazda couple of years back. Did the swap, still gave the missfire in the same cylinder. Went on and replaced all...

P0607 indicates an error in the programing of the PCM. I think something hapened the 1st time and was corrected in the 2nd flash. Just keep driving it and be happy if there's no CEL. I would contact Livernois anyway and explain the event.
