That is why I posted about using FordParts.com .....
I understood, just thought a real life example might be informative, not just on pricing, but quick availability. I was surprised their site gave me a two-week lead time for the blue EGR hose.
Struggling to find these of Ford site. Saw some aftermarket stuff on Amazon. you have a Ford number?
I gave you the Amazon links. Very little on Amazon is quality (IMO), but what I gave you is. That seller had a very solid forum presence before he got into that business.
I also will repeat some advice ..... if the ball tubes are not loose, you most likely do not need to mess with them. Properly removing and installing the rail (so that o-rings are not damaged) is more important IMO.
There are a number of good scan tools for retrieving engine operating data (and codes). ForScan Lite on a smartphone (requires an adapter) is one of the cheapest ways to do it ($5 download). Same with Torque Pro. The adapter you need depends on the smart device you have. The full version of ForScan on a laptop is probably the best system (USB adapter needed). The adapter will be more expensive but the software is a free download. ForScan (Lite and full versions) will give you the most thorough code reader system. Some people buy the Scangauge II. It is clunky technology and expensive, but it gives you access to data in a small device. Just don't count on it for thorough code reading.
Mark, my BAFX wi-fi adaptor has worked with my apple(trial version)/android phones and my laptop. With Forscan upgrades I recently had to clear my vehicle cache to read all the pids.
