Good evening Illinois, Jim, Ken, and John!

84° and partly cloudy here in the River City today. Sunny now but expecting strong storms overnight. Rain is welcome!

Yup...just putting the gaskets on the door pans and installing them tomorrow and have a little touch up to do in one door panel that got rubbed then install them. That damn coolant is still leaking from somewhere but can't seem to find from where. I'm afraid of over tightening the bolts and ending up back where I started..

How far back in time does Ford use that part number?

Be nice if you could find a cast iron one.

I don't think it has anything to do with the housing, it looks like a pretty good one. It wasn't a cheap one...

Did you use the gaskets or just RTV?

I think the housing on your truck is the same as mine and it doesn't leak.

Is yours vertical to the intake manifold..? I think it could be that some of the RTV gets scraped of a bit while trying to find the bolt holes. The one on the right side is no problem but the lower one on the left side is kind of guess work because of the forward tilt hood you are not face on..
