I have a 1998 XLT with 208K. Leaking oil from timing chain cover and rear main seal. Has been a great truck for us and still running strong. Since you guys have been great in the past I thought I would try again. I have built many SBC's in the past, but never a SBF. Not afraid of doing it...

I really don't want to sell this but I don't really drive it anymore no time(wife, 2 kids and 2 jobs now) and I think someone else would have more fun with it. I don't have it posted anywhere else yet I wanted to post it here first, since I have gotten so much from this site over the years...

My '99 5.0 Mountaineer has not been taking the winter too well. Recently, I've noticed the infamous "chirp". The squeaking was really loud a few weeks ago but I JUST replaced the serpentine belt and it got rid of the noise for a while but these past few days have been in the teens down to the...

Hi, 97 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD, I recently changed my thermostat putting in a new 195 degree one and found out it was a much tougher job than I thought it was going to be. Not much room to hold thermostat housing and put the bolts in, but finally got it in. I noticed immediately after that my...
