2008 Expy Red headed step-c
I had a 4th cylinder miss. I thought for sure I was going to end up replacing the cam phasers because it also had been ticking. I was cruising the forums and saw a video link to a guy taking the connector off of the 4th cylinder coil pack and it was corroded. I gave mine a look and not only was it corroded but the connector plastic tab had broken. So I clean the terminal and put a dot of super glue on the plastic to hold long enough to get to work and parts. I swap out the plastic connector housing but use the original wires so I do not have to splice the harness. While putting it all back together I find my coolant leak. Apparently the heater hose about 3" before the firewall had a loose clamp. I tighten it up and leak is gone. I had back surgery 3wks ago and was on narcotics when I bought this truck. ,😆😆😆
I have never owned a Ford. So it is a learning curve for me. Currently I am fighting sticking calipers. Started off with the right one then the left now both front drag. I replaced the front brake lines with SS brake lines from Goodridge. I sucked out all the old brake fluid and put new Dot 4 in. Made sure and bled them. Still drags. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I was going to tear the caliper apart yesterday but Ford had the clever idea of making it a 9mm Allen wrench bolt. No one readily owns this! 😆 I picked one up today. Lowe's doesn't even carry a 9mm Allen wrench. I also ordered a caliper rebuild kit.
Any advice before I hate myself more tomorrow? 😂🤣😭
Much appreciated!
