    Coolant leak from under blower motor box?

    Yup! Bout 800 miles round trip and she seemed to do great. Definitely leaked when the heat was on but I just didn’t use it a whole lot. I also kept a jug or two of coolant in the back. It didn’t end up being an issue for the trip. Looks like I’ll be replacing again tho which is a bummer, ah...

    Coolant leak from under blower motor box?

    I suppose that could be the problem, it was a some “replacement” brand from CarParts.com

    Coolant leak from under blower motor box?

    1998 5.0 AWD: Any ideas where this might be coming from? I quite literally just did the heater core last week and it solved the leak for about a week and now it’s back…it’s coming from the bottom of the blower motor box on the engine bay side. It seems to only leak for about 10-20 mins after...

    Camshaft Synchro causing power loss?

    Alrighty folks, it appears that I had a faulty sensor. Obviously I took out the synchronizer and put it back in for good measure, but with the new sensor she is running much better. I've been driving quite a bit the last couple of days and no more sputtering/misfires or weird shifting! I'm sure...

    Camshaft Synchro causing power loss?

    Alright new sensor finally came in from Rockauto. Tool on the synchronizer ready to put back in. Inserted facing as best 6:00 as I could, one tooth to the right and it was more like 5/5:30. And finally the new sensor installed and synchronizer tightened down. Did I miss anything?😂🤦🏼‍♂️

    Camshaft Synchro causing power loss?

    Yeah I tore it apart last night again and clarified with some help that it was on the compression stroke, top dead center. Was facing the right way and everything with the tool stuck on top.😕 The fuel pump would make sense except that driving it around today was totally fine, no sputtering...

    Camshaft Synchro causing power loss?

    1998 Ex 5.0 AWD, 160k Hey guys, I have been troubleshooting to the best of my abilities and cannot seem to find out what is going on. While accelerating, I am getting blips in losses of power/RPMs. Based off of what I read I thought my coil packs were going out because I would get a nasty...

    5.0 Camshaft Synchronizer Orientation

    I appreciate the confirmation guys. Got it installed and she's running great once again. Fun fact this is what the old one looked like 😵 The little flange was completely gone, the I was trying to mark out what was left. The first time I tried to fix this I just matched up the orientation of the...

    5.0 Camshaft Synchronizer Orientation

    Hey y’all, I’ve been reading a bunch through the forum and I just want to make sure I’ve got the right idea. My camshaft synchro self destructed so I had to get a new one (yes an oem one). To get it aligned right I just need to get piston #1 to TDC and then use the plastic tool on top the new...
