Both caps should be replaced

I don’t have a link. Will try to tell you what I did to make it work.

This is what I did that worked for me when stranded on the side of the road at 3 am. I am not saying it’s an approved Ford method or anything. Just what worked for me.


1. Be patient (I was on the side of the road for 8 hours chasing the air in this system. Patience was at a low for me)
2. Remove fuel cool resivoir cap and remove the turbo actuator Allen plug.
3. Remove bolts holding the small fuel cooler bolted to the right on the intercooler.
4. Take the cooler and rotate it to the left and tuck it down in between the bumper and the intercooler. So the top of the cooler will be facing the passenger side of the truck and the bottom with the hose connections facing the drivers side.
5. Fill the system up through the Allen plug on the top of the actuator. (Go slow as it will fill quickly.)
6. Then I took one of the lines that come from the bottom of the fuel cooler to the resivoir and started squeezing it. Like you are priming a boat engine fuel line. Keep doing this and you will start to see bubbles come out of the resovior and the level will start dropping.
7. Keep refilling the system while pumping so it doesn’t get to low and you introduce air to the system again.
8. I did the above for probably 5-10 mins. I alternated on the two lines that come from the low part of the system.
9. After feeling the system is bleed I would install the resivoir cap and install the Allen plug.
10. Start up the truck and let it run. Mine would wait about 30 seconds or so before it would kick the pump on. If it makes the screeching noise again shut down down and bleed some more.
11. When everything is good and it runs with no noise you can bring the fuel cooler back up from inbetween the bumper and bolt is back in place. You are good to go.
12. If you haven’t done so already replace both caps. The coolant overflow resivoir cap and the fuel cooler resivoir cap. I bought both off rockauto for under $20.

Hope this helps.
