    Any EcoBoost Engineers in here? EcoBoost Intercooler Condensation Solution?

    Just watched a video of some guy complaining about F150's and said he would never buy ford again. The issue seemed simply to resolve, curious what has been tried or if/how the issue has been resolved. The issue was water build up in the intercooler, which meant a quick jab at the throttle would...

    Water In Spark Plug Well Solution

    I have been meaning to post my experience with this but keep forgetting. Got on here tonight and the top post was about this same issue. So I made a quick video. The only ignition coil I have had go bad was the number 8 cylinder coil. Which is the one that used to get water in it. The water...

    Leak through overhead console... not drain lines.

    I've got an '04 Explorer. I posted on this a year or so ago, and got one suggestion, to caulk it shut forever. Another summer is here, and I'd rather not have to keep it in the garage, and not use it when it's raining. Usually, but not always, water leaks through the overhead console, coming...

    Water Pump question.

    Hey everyone, I've had a small coolant leak for about a month now. It doesn't leak on the driveway but I can see it running down the side of the engine on the passenger side. It leaks right below the alternator. The shop that I usually go to says that there's a plastic elbow that's leaking. They...

    Best Snorkel Mod

    I've been looking about the interwebs for a snorkel kit for my 2000 ford explorer sport (2dr not truck). What I have discovered is that there's not a company making kits specific to our beloved fords. Any recommendations of alternate models that can be easily modified for functionality with my...

    Hey guys, So I have a slight dilemma, last weekend it was pretty hot here in Iowa and I was pulling out some hedge roots with the Ex. :exp: I had 5 to pull out, and everything was going smoothly at first. I pulled the first 3 out with a little jerk in 4-low and it was going good. So I was...

    '05 Trac leaking water from driver front?

    I seem to have purchased a very odd Sport Trac... Opened my driver door after two days of rain and had a river run out from my door sill :fire: Traced the leak origin to someplace under the dash (roughly straight back from the top of the dash fuse box to give you an idea of location). It's been...

    Leaking out the Running Board

    I had my truck on a fairly steep angle last weekend and my cousin had noticed a little fluid leaking out the passenger side at the very front of the running board. Today, I had my Explorer on an even steeper slope and had a considerable amount of what looked, tasted, and smelled, like water...

    Replacing a driver's side front freeze plug

    I recently had a freeze plug pop. At first, I thought it was the water pump, but then was confused when I saw that coolant was leaking above and to the side of the water pump. What could it be? After some help from the kind folks on this forum and overhearing a Ford mechanic mention it, I...

    Windshield Leak Above Interior Compass...

    Has anyone had this problem before, and if so, how did you seal it properly? If I pry off the old silicone seal around the window, will it compromise the window fitment? I don't want to pay someone to fix this relatively simple problem, obviously. This sucks! Thanks for any and all...
