sounds like a mini montreal meet!! thats good boys. how about some pics of the gals together??

yes, a warm welcome to FL299... now there's 4 to BS in here...

 

Sherm ,you're welcome also.We'll get some beer and order pizza then we'll wash your truck and take some pics.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guy's - yes it is good to know that there are other FORD TRUCK people close by!

 

And perhaps not so close lol. Nice day here today - sun and + 2 !

 

lol...i wish i had the time. passed through montreal this past september. had i known there was a couple of members there i would have taken you up on the pizza!!

 

Skoda you didn't make it.Well next time maybe.fuel filter PITA but next time it will be
5 min. job.I have some sort of diffrent connectors ,took me 1.5hrs to do it.
somehow I was missing 2 liters of trans.oil???no leaks ,what's up???
at least beer was good.LOL

 

Hi guys ,what's new?
Did plugs finally,last 2 on pass.side = PITA.
All plugs were torqued anywhere from 10 to 17 foot pound,but non was loose.
Whoever did plugs before surely didn't use torque wrench.
All are nice in color but some had .080 inch gap.Threads are scary if you see only
4 of them in the hole.Ford really screw things up on these heads.plenty of material
there to make 8-10 threads but ,they decided to cut it out for clearance.
Overall ,next time it will be a lot easier and less worrysome.

 

i thought it was only 99-00 that had the short threads?? my understanding was that they got the improvements the same time as the light duty modulars... not so??

 

Has anyone tried the spark plug sockets that torque to Max. 20 lb. ?

 

What you mean? spark plug sockets that torque to Max. 20 lb.???

Getting ready to swap O2 sensors and I'am confused.
Some sites says that I need 4 but I see only 2 on my truck.
Also parts #'s are confusing.Different seller different part's numbers.

 

there will be 4 on your truck... 2 before the cats and 2 after.

 

No dual exhaust on mine.Went under and there's only 2 O2 sensors.
Found NTK's for 40$ each on Ebay.

 

if its a v10 it'll have seperate exhaust manifolds. to my knowledge there's a sensor on each manifold before the cats but maybe thats only on 01 and up or something... weird...

 

O ye,there's 2 manifolds,Y-pipe ,1cat,1muffler and two only O2 sensors on manifolds.
Checked OBD and it is OBD1,at least ProScan tells me it is.
I was convinced that it should be OBD2 on all vehicles 1996 and older,but....
must do some reading on this forum.Reads only 1 sensor bank1.

 

boy, that is very, very interesting. OBD11 came after '96 i was sure too... did you get a preemie?? is yours a US truck?? maybe that has something to do with it.
