    2003 4.6l water loss

    I'm losing coolant from a a tube located on top of the right bank of the engine (manifold maybe). I saw a post about an outlet in that vicinity that is supposed to be capped off. I don't see anywhere what it's called or what to do to fix it. Any suggestions?

    2003 4.6l water loss

    I suddenly lost all my coolant. I refilled the system after getting towed home and water is coming out from an outlet on top of the right engine bank directly in front of the passenger. I can't locate a hose that would have been connected. Can someone point me in the direction of a fix for this...

    Wanted 03 EB 4.6L Condenser Bracket-Radiator Install Gone Wrong

    [Sent from QUOTE="Number4, post: 3829499, member: 226817"] Bumper comes off easy. Just follow the bolts. Front off wheel shroud screws, two bolts behind front wheel shroud up top (end of bumper.) A few underneath. Then it has these plastic tabs that go under the grill. Just lift up from the...

    Wanted 03 EB 4.6L Condenser Bracket-Radiator Install Gone Wrong

    While replacing the leaky radiator on my 03 Eddie I managed to drop the right side bracket that secures the condenser (secondary bracket) between the bulkhead and the bumper. It made a perfect landing somewhere in the deep dark confines of, I believe, the bumper. I can't seem to retrieve it with...

    Looking for your opinion

    Well for what it's worth I'm pleased with the purchase of this EB 4.6l. I like it as much as anything I've had before (excluding possibly the BMW'S I've had. After i picked it up took it straight to an oil change shop to put in 5w-20 and a Motorcraft filter. The drive from Atlanta to NC saw me...

    Looking for your opinion

    But apparently not diligent making payments. It's a repo.

    Looking for your opinion

    I believe that as well but I couldn't cover the cost of repairs now, but do have enough to get something for now. I going to hang on the 99 and eventually get it fixed.

    Looking for your opinion

    No rust. Carfax shows initial sale in VA and then relocation to GA.
  16. mfitz725

    Looking for your opinion

    It's a repo, but the carfax looks real good Regular servicing oil changes even transmission fluid changes.

    Looking for your opinion

    I've become a much better one starting with the 94 I bought in 98.

    Looking for your opinion

    For the Atlanta area that's where market prices are running for similar year/model/mileage examples. I actually live in NC now after living Atlanta metro since 96. In NC prices are even higher (asking price as opposed to final sale). Apparently there is a market at these prices as many vehicles...

    Looking for your opinion

    This is pretty much my feeling on this. I've a lot of confidence in the 4.6l. History on the vehicle is not available as it was a repo. Going to get a carfax and see what info might come to light.

    Looking for your opinion

    Sorry, my mistype error. I had found a chart on the forum here that gave correct trans by year model.

    4.0 SOHC - when did it become reliable?

    I've become quite a fan of the Mobil Syn. Been using it for many years in my 94 Ex and the 99 I have now.

    Looking for your opinion

    Thanks, I'm familiar with with the procedure, came across a reference to on a forum post and also watched a YouTube video on same.

    Looking for your opinion

    As I think I noted on a previous post my 99 Limited 4x4 4.0 SOHC decided Dec 14 that the transmission wasn't going to transmission any longer. I'm not sure I could handle a trans job, engine I don't hesitate. I.had just finished paying off $1100front end job(had nowhere to work on it then) and...

    4.0 SOHC - when did it become reliable?

    That's the way I felt about my 94 Ex. It was hard to let it go. That was 2.5 years ago and I bravely ventured into a 99 Limited 4x4 with 160k. Last summer had front end done(wasn't able to do it myself, no place to work) for $1100. Nov. '19 new water pump, thermostat and housing plus upper lower...
