I got 245/70r16's. they rub a little on the right side cuz the splash shield has been missing some clips for a while and it's sagging a little out of position. They are noisier than the BFG's, and ice traction is less also. Snow they work equally well. Not a bad tradeoff for the price...

Yep, the #6 piston had damage from pieces going through the intake too. Compression low in all 3 on the right bank, the motor was full of gunk inside, the front cover seals had been seeping coolant into the oil for what appeared to be for some time judging by the washing by the coolant...

I am wondering if the cam follower coming out was a precursor or "warning" to the seat falling out?

Pulled the right head. The intake valve seat came out. Head is definitely done, but the piston doesn't look bad at all. A few grooves in it, and a couple divots. No embedded seat fragments. Am tempted to just replace the head and put it back together. After it started knocking, it ran for...

I pulled the valve covers and the #2 intake follower was out of place. The cam timing for both heads is okay. Still don't know why it was missing on all those other cylinders, might do a compression test before I pull it. I didn't pull the codes because most of them I probably set while...

Just like the Ford 5.4l! Is it possible for a bunch of them to come off at the same time? This motor didn't have the best care from the previous owner. Have changed the oil 6 times in the last 2000 miles and finding mass quantities of carbon in the oil filter and in the drain pan, I mean ...

My '02 just started missing last night. was too dark to mess with, so I looked it over today. It's missing on cyls 1, 2, 4, and sometimes 3. Has a knocking noise that just started today after running it for about 10 minutes. Motor has 122k miles on it. Plugs and coils are about a year old. Got...

My fix for sway bar bushing noise: Remove the bushings, use sandpaper on the bar where the bushing goes, then wrap the sway bar with Teflon tape (thread sealer tape for sealing pipe threads) then coat the inside of the bushing with Sil-glyde. You can get both at Napa. They stock some 1" wide...

117,000 miles on 2003 Limited. Rear joint on front shaft, radiator, heater core, rear upper control arm. Airbag, ball joints, and fuel tank issues all done under recalls. 4 coils since original owner never replaced plugs. Cold weather pcv conversion as per TSB 25-001-08. I don't count wear and...

On mine: Engine reaching normal temp, hoses had about a 4-6 degree difference in temp. Very poor heat, next to none on higher fan speeds. Pulled dash to check blend door operation, working okay. Further research on my part shows the blend door problem didn't show up until 2005, and mine's a...
