If it comes back, I’d get it read. It’s not going to be related to the oil.

Disconnect the negative cable momentarily.

In 95 and 96 they were 2wd, 4auto and 4 low.

I did the best with the absolute lack of information your lame “huh” had. Sorry bro.

You complain about features that are entirely optional. I purchased a new car with none of those features. Next time, I suggest you do the same. I’m also very skeptical that it’s “programmed to lock up at highway speed”.

Different stereo levels, even in the same year, have different colors. The constant power and key on power do appear to be the same, however.

Have you done a second gen?

I don’t believe this is true. There were 4 or 5 flavors of stereos available in the 2nd Gen, and the wiring wasn’t the same between them even a year apart.

I thought to see any real gains you had to burn a lot more of it, which is why the ethanol builds use huge pumps and injectors. In a later model turbo I wouldn’t have questioned it. In an NA ‘02 I think it’s a completely different animal.

E85 should provide less power. Hence, why you get LESS MPG.

This is a 6 year old thread. I hope he’s fixed it by now.

I’d check the CV shafts. Make sure the boots aren’t torn. Check the front driveshaft joints as well.

They can’t be.

Like anything else, if you can wrench you can keep it going. I spent a few years changing wheel bearings annually in my Escape.

Depends on how expensive the bearings are and how good you are installing press in bearings. Many members here with larger tires eat up a set a year. The rear differentials are also prone to fail/be noisy.

Larger tires and a hard life would have probably had much better luck with the 5.0s. The 3rd gens will eat a set of wheel bearings fast on 33s.

I meant physically lifted. When I had a leaking pinion seal I could get quite a bit more fluid in if it was jacked up to one side.

Probably water intrusion just not enough to milkshake the oil. It was jacked up the same way both times?

So, what actually happened? It’s kinda confusing with the mention of the transfer case. Is your issue just the rear axle? If rusty water didn’t come out, you’re fine. Change the fluid, change it again, and run it.

That doesn’t answer the question I asked.

Did the V6 trucks switch to returnless style mid 1998 like the 5.0 trucks?

Because you ACTUALLY HAVE fuel pressure. You’ve got a problem with your gauge.

Different engine but same procedure. Most auto stores will rent you the tools.

Fuel pressure is tested with a gauge very similar to a tire pressure gauge. It is tested on the fuel rail on top of the motor.

I’d test the fuel pressure as stated above. I’d also clean the MAF and throttle bodies with the appropriate cleaners. No check engine light?

It’s accurate when it works?

How fast does the pressure bleed off after shutting it down? Do the returnless systems have check valves in the sending unit?

No codes, I assume?

They are not the same.

The diagram is correct. You’re firing out of order, which will cause all sorts of issue. You’ve essentially got 2 cylinders out of time which will beat holes in your pistons if you aren’t lucky.

20 hours labor? Installed a remanned motor. Should be about 8 hours. What’s PATS go to do with anything?

Connecting the two wires should be all that’s needed. If there wasn’t an issue before, with the switch in either position, it’s probably something you changed.

You’ll need a hole for the extractor anyways. Might as well try to work it out with the drill first. Extractors always make me nervous, and I’d consider myself a vet.

You’d have to match it up to a known bolt, nut, tap, or find a way to measure its OD.

My point was it might not be big enough. It’s been asked several times what size the bolts are. Without that no one can help you with anything exact.

Max size for that is 5/32”, which is a hair under 4mm. The first step is finding the size of your bolts.

If we lived close, I’d give it a shot. There’s few feelings as victorious as removing a broken bolt.

Hell, if it’ll move it along easier I’ll send a left handed bit for free. 😂
