I'm jealous of the knee-deep work you've done on your ride! I've got a tick going on with mine from 30s after startup until enrichment is over-with, and I want to get in there and replace my timing chains, oil pump, etc, but I'm just not brave enough to break it down, lest I break it, haha. Kudos man.

@Lance Helmert in order to tag someone you have to use the @ sign and then start typing there name. It will turn blue once you have selected them, and then send a PM or Private Message direct to there inbox.

Hope that helps.

Check out this guy if you want to do it. All the modular engines are similar. I struggled with the balance shaft and getting the bolts in the oil pump pickup tube. I dropped one in the oil pan and spent several hours fishing it back out. You'll need a few special tools.

I had help putting the Eastwood Platinum Rust Encapsulator on. It covers really well.

10 new coils


Dorman Stainless steel brake lines from Summit. The kit is for 2001 and newer. I had to cut the fittings off at the ABS valve and use my old fittings which have bigger threads. I didn't want air in the ABS so I didn't change the lines between the master cylinder and the ABS valve. They are quite a bit different, but would work.

Replaced the door ajar switches.

One new door lock actuator. We cleaned and lubed the rest.

Since we aren't repainting the whole thing anymore, we put rust encapsulator over the rusty spots and touched them up later.

Looking good. Lisle makes good tools.

Looks like you already did plugs and COP's. Over torque them to 25 ft-lbs, them spitting is a result of them being torqued to light.

Also for future reference and Modular Excursion/Super Duty owners may want to use this tool.

Gearwrench 41740 magnetic spark plug socket set.

Thank you. Yes , I checked out threads on FTE and torqued them to 25. I even changed it in the service manual so I don't forget next time. I added the tool to my amazon list. Just so you know, these are older pics from last fall and this winter, I'm trying to get caught up to where I am now. I have a bunch detailed pics I'm not posting if there's anything you'd like to see better. Thanks for following along.

I put AC Delco loaded calipers on it. I couldn't find Wagner calipers. New Wagner brake hoses on also.
