whats the difference between the 10r60 and 80? Blown Coyote Stangs and F150s put far faaaaar more rwhp and tq down then a tuned ST will, and the the trans doesn't bat an eye and holds up fine. Buddy even tows with his blown F150 supercrew all the time, road trips etc and that puts down about 650...

Brings back memories, almost bought one (actual V8 XP8) about 15 years ago, was in NJ. Guy literally sold it 2 days before. I can still remember exactly lol, was in college then and was going to take the auto train up, pick it up, and put back on the train for ride back down. Even with all the...

What lol... sorry man, a stock 5.0 Explorer is not leaving 45 feet of burn out. These don't haul ass. I've had two over the years both rwd, and still have the 01' I got new and modded and tuned (minus headers as could never find them available use or new) though now with lift. Even my Coyote...

Yeah it'll just stop blowing, nothing out of vents or very little, then once at speed starts blowing again. Haven't looked at it today. Is it easy to follow to replace? Or is it one of those lines that goes down and takes every ass-backwards hidden twist and turns Ford could come up with lol...

would that tiny grey vac line that goes to the heater control valve have any effect? Its broken in half, might have happened when I moved lines off heater core mounts. Just odd was working perfect, now this. One thing after another lol.

I'll keep that in mind. Any ideas what would cause AC to stop blowing on normal acceleration? Was fine before radiator install and past few days. Until today. Like everytime leaving red-light vents stop blowing till I'm at speed than start blowing cold again. Did find heater control valve...

yeah 5.0s are just under 16 quarts. Checked notes last time and it took just over 3 gallons. This time even filling heater core with a little coolant than distilled until showed in my flush line pushing coolant out. Filling radiator and burping seems I only got about 2 gallons. And other day...

Yeah but I could only get two jugs of coolant in even after running an hour. Flushed out heater core, and engine through the heater core inlet hose till water ran clear. I have ice old air and hot heat. Temps are correct inclusing upper radiator hose. Yet I couldn't add distilled like normal...

Yeah that was my first guess as I had that happen once with the housing as the 5.0 as the most beyond stupidest tstat housing design and location, ever, lol. No leak there though. I clean the surfaces, and let tstat sit with permatex water/gasket sealant on housing for few hours, than applied...

Oops forgot that in title, 2000 5.0. Just edited title

Hope it's not a faulty tstat but don't believe so as doesn't appear to be any boil over, temps are good and gets to temp normally and stable. Faulty tstat would throw temp/guage out of wack, had that happen once on another vehicle. I'll murder someone before dealing with the stupid 5.0 housing...

Tstat def installed correctly always make sure of that, resovoir tank is good to go. Edit - wait not sure what you mean by upside down? You mean backwards wrong direction? I have it installed correct direction.

Great. Put in new radiator, did full flush over this week like normal and new tstat yesterday. No leaks, let engine run today for about 40 min at idle (let gasket sealant for tstat housing cure) no leaks from anywhere whole time. Ok cool, run over to Lowes, get home. Walk out front, notice a...

So does the line just come off that adapter on top of the engine, I can twist the line so I think its just on like a normal line but tried pulling it and it won't come off. Can I remove that adapter its connected to? Looks like theres some clip mechanism but didn't really look/feel around as...

Whew, had to rip everything back out. Yup, there was a half gasket thing jammed back in the lower trans mount, ripped that out and it was fine. Now new issue, the return line from coolant overfill tank to radiator doesn't fit. The mount on the radiator is too small. WTF, it doesn't end with...

I can feel it with my finger, there is rubber or something jammed inside the low trans mount. I'm so pissed, not ripping radiator out again after getting everything bolted back except trans lines. Anyone want to pick it up on a flat bed? Porsches, Viper, Raptor, SRT8 Jeep work on no prob. This...

Yay me, cracked again. After hours and hours of getting it out and back in, what a ***** again trying to get clips aligned putting new one in. Now I can't get bottom trans line in. Wtf. I Think there's a rubber gasket not an Orting stuck in it, the top one didn't have anything. Blocks the...

Engine bays dirty so black stuff was from touching anything lol, was checking one of the radiator hoses as well and got covered in black dirt. I guess I'm just confused as I can't find anything in the Haynes manual listing what it is, or if its even the emissions purge valve line? Searching...

I'll have to check when its brighter out tomorrow, but could I just use any vacuum line replacement and cut to fit if needed and stick on? Looking through Haynes manual and see nothing of what that line is unless its called something else.

Heard hissing sound and found that vacuum line busted. I can see where it goes at the top, but from bottom part not sure what it attaches too as hard to see. What line is this, or name, so I can replace it.

I had full bolt ons, headers etc, custom tune. From a roll, wasn't even close, just easily walked away from his boosted/cam swapped Explorer, Coyote blocks pull hard up top even in the trucks and matched so well to the 6 speed especially with 3.73 gears. Down low was close for about a second or...

Really without headers or just doing a custom s/c setup, nothing you can do to achieve what you want. Manifolds are extremely restrictive, I modified the stock air intake with an AEM filter and cut to pull only cold air, and custom duals... never really noticed a difference except sound, then...

Yup thats what I meant, the engine was already in place, then the body was slapped on.... which pry left them afterwords going so how are we going to repair radiators? lol... thats what I meant

Maybe it was the core, I remember someone saying way back when the engine, radiator etc was already in. Either way, what a royal pain in the 5.0, probably why shop/dealers charge so much to do a replacement on one of these trucks.

Brain fart, your right, they just launched for '18. Miss my '14 SRT-8 Jeep, almost s/c it.
