Need opinions

The pedistal on my '95 is leaking and the mechanic says Ford doesn't recommend rebuilding it(they'd rather sell new ones).Anyway,has anyone fixed the problem and would share the information how it was done.Have they redesigned the new ones to correct the problem?

If I must buy a new one,where would you suggest I get it?

Thanks!!!!!

I actually a few weeks just encountered the same problem. We had thought we could pull the pedestal off and put O-Rings in it. Then we found more problems with it and there is no rebuild kit avialable for it. So we did end up having to replace it.

I belive most people just change the O-rings. I have not done this but my understanding is that there are an upper set and a lower set of O-rings.

There is a rebuild kit available now for the EBV actuator seal, part number 2C3Z-9P466-BA

I don't know what it costs or how big a pain it would be to install. When mine started leaking I replaced the pedestal with a non-EBV pedestal since mine was gutted anyways.

if you dont care about the ebpv you can pull your pedistal. tap the hole out to 1/4" npt and put a pulg in it. mine has been gone since 98.

the seal kit is around 130 fro powerstrokeshop.com...

the pedistals :
a few aftermarket places sell em along with ford.
just wait until you see the price on one of those..

you will want to plug it after you see!!!!!

fwiw i unplugged my ebpv the other day due to a leak....no problems since.

if it is leaking from pedistal orings those need to be replaced.
