well I bought it. figured what the heck it's only money.
bought 2 new batteries and the voltage was better, flp volts were still only 10 ish fcm 46- 48. checked alternators lower one was screaming hot. checked upper no good replaced it.
flp is now 11-12 volts fcm 47.5-48. still starts hard.
check oil filter and cap both motorcraft. replaced oil filter drain valve. no difference. checked the oil filter housing again broke the stand pipe. replaced. no difference .
after sitting all night the oil filter and housing is completly dry, not a drip drop . after it's been running when I pull the filter immediatly after shut down it's wet and I can watch the oil drain out.
if I wait 3 minutes ish the filter will drip a little and the housing is empty.
I suspect the oil cooler bypass or the anti drain back vavle is there any way to fix or replace them? parts guy says theyre not listed probably part of the filter base for $300 ish.
please correct me if you think I'm wrong or barking up the wrong tree.
thanks!
