    99 5.0 AWD, pull motor without removing transmission?

    Ok thank you for the confirmation and tip to stab to the transmission. Now I just need an engine hoist and some good weather!

    99 5.0 AWD, pull motor without removing transmission?

    I need to replace the front/rear seal as well as the oil pan gasket. Im wondering if it is feasible to pull the motor on an AWD without removing the transmission, and of course install the motor back without pulling the transmission. Pulling a motor for me is way easier than actually...

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    Ok thank you for the great explanation of why not to do that. In my head it sounded like it could work.

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    Thanks for the spacer suggestion, I’ll for sure plan on that soon. I have a question about the 4wd conversion. Is there any reason I couldn’t put locking hubs on the front to engage and disengage the awd instead of 4x4? I know the whole driveline will continue to spin but at least it won’t...

    Quick Disconnect fuel line leaking

    i repaired it but I ended up having to remove the whole braided line. So 7.9mm I’d fuel injection hose over the metal line 2 fi clamps. Then a replacement quick disconnect with a barb to the fuel filter and another 2 fi clamps.

    Quick Disconnect fuel line leaking

    Thanks for the feedback I think you made me realize I was going just a bit to aggressive with my fix. I planned to totally cut out the braided nylon line. I was going to go to the metal line. Either way I got the parts and line and will repair similar to what you did but i found in stock...

    Blend Door Actuator troubles

    You're correct they are two identical (looking) blend door actuators. One for non eatc and one with and they dont interchange (electrically). I recently went through that. They guy I bought my explorer from also went through that and just gave up, he gave me 3 new blend door actuators that...

    Quick Disconnect fuel line leaking

    it looks like all the orings broke inside the quick disconnect at the fuel filter (from the tank). I tried replacing them but I dont really know the size, either way it leaked just as bad or worse. Is it safe (at least for a couple week/months) to just replace the braided line with fuel...

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    no response from obx but the headers are no longer on their website. Maybe they are done with them. I’ll just keep an eye out for used ones.

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    yea the explorer might not have been the best option. It does the job I’d like just a little more go out of it. You have all talked me into the headers at this point. Does any know if the obx are in stock in places or is it order and wait a year? I’ve sent obx an email their distribution...

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    I think I’ll be keeping awd at this point, did the v6 awd’s still have 410 gears? I’m not positive here but is the front diff the same on 4wd and awd? I wouldn’t think it would be but better to ask. As for the headers I just don’t know about dropping $1k on that.

    replacement vacuum canister?

    I finally found the problem, It was not the pastic vacuum lines specifically but close. I had two leaks, a splice of rubber hose in the plastic vacuum line, and vacuum canister to the engine there was a splice (not sure if factory or not) but it was a plastic coupler with the rubber ends on...

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    where I live the awd is a good thing to have, is it possible to get 4.10 gears for front and rear differential? Will that help with my 3rd gear performance?

    Hot Temp Outdoor Vapor Lock

    I had a similar situation but it was 100 degrees. I did some regular maintenance (plugs, wires, and fuel filter) and have been waiting for the issue to happen again so I can test fuel pressure but it has cooled off here. edit: I should add ive put 500 miles on this thing since it last happened...

    What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

    I need a little more power (for towing), I live in a mountain region and have some big hills. I can pull up hill in 1st and 2nd gear pretty easily, but 3rd gear, jsut seems to stall. So what is available (besides torque master headers, I dont want that headache of an install). Everywhere I...

    2000 Limited AC blows warm when revving engine

    The blend door actuator and replacement eatc should not be 1000 job. Id say you probably have a blend door actuator problem that you can test with the eatc. The same test will tell you if there is anything wrong with the eatc but it will not tell if the actuators are leaking. Someone else...

    99 EB 5.0, rear main seal. How difficult?

    Pan could be leaking, but it looks higher, its not the valve cover gaskets in this case as there is no oil on the back of the heads or above the exhaust manifolds. Pan might be worse in this case being AWD id have to pull the engine to do it correctly :D. I think im good for now going to try...

    99 5.0, loss of all power on highway, no codes. Sanity Check on path to take

    I should add the stupid thing is running buttery smooth, so when I emptied the tank of gas I decided to keep going before replacing the crank sensor or fuel pump.

    99 5.0, loss of all power on highway, no codes. Sanity Check on path to take

    Im still kicking away at this, live data is showing me that the bank 2 sensor 2 o2 sensor has failed. That one is after the cat right? Going to test it this weekend and replace it if needed. Still no check engine light with it, but it showing 0v and long term fuel trim on that bank is 0%

    Mice :(

    I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by wildlife, the only thing that keeps the mice away for me are cats Im not a fan of cats so I tried everything before getting a cat. Ive repaired too many wiring harnesses due to these rodents luckily ive never had to replace an entire harness...

    99 EB 5.0, rear main seal. How difficult?

    yeah, I think its a real slow leak, the bottom is covered in sludge so I guess its been going on for a long while. Transmission is solid here. So stop leak it is.

    99 EB 5.0, rear main seal. How difficult?

    I’ve got 250 miles on it since I changed the oil and it’s still max full. I’m going to try some kind of stop leak first. It can’t be more than a very slow drip. So maybe I’ll get lucky.

    99 EB 5.0, rear main seal. How difficult?

    For one person to do start to finish how difficult is it to get to the rear main seal on a 99 5.0 AWD? This would be in a grarage with no lift and no help. It has a small leak that I have noticed while doing other work, im not sure how much its actually leaking since it lands on the cat. From...

    99 5.0, loss of all power on highway, no codes. Sanity Check on path to take

    Update the pressure is only bleeding with key off, engine off key on its holding so probably all good there. Scanner is in so I’ll check what I can now with live data. Right off the bat it looks like I’m a little lean on bank1 so maybe a gasket leak we will see.

    99 5.0, loss of all power on highway, no codes. Sanity Check on path to take

    I’ll follow up on that tomorrow or Monday. It might be the gauge causing the leak. It’s not quick but does drop from 60’s to 40s but the schrader valve on the test port failed while I was testing all this and it possible I didn’t get a non leaking connection.
