Ford's
 
Ok, this might be pretty boring, but here goes............

DPFE sensor's, Coil Pack's for the gassers.

Cam sensors, fuel bowl heater, UVCH, for the 7.3's.

Head Gaskets, IPR sensor, power steering cooler lines, EGR cooler and Valve, and sticking turbo vanes for the 6.0's.







But I am pretty bias, and did not think to long about this either.:smiley_roll1:

I am doing glow plugs, UVCH, gasket, oil change, tranny fluid change, install a cooler, hpop o-rings. I will probably take out the IPR and clean it also. The guys is driving about 60 miles for me to do it. I am gonna need to get a shop soon.

Chuck?
I think we are supposed to be mentioning problems Fords are notorious for.

1997-2003 5.4 spark plugs>>not enough threads in head or plug. The plug can pop out taking the threads with it.
2004-2007.5 5.4 spark plugs>>the end of this style spark plg gets stuck in head when removing plugs.
4r70e-4r75e transmissions aren't as bullet proof as once thought.
Lifetime fluids>>haha tell me another one!!

Fix

Thats sums it up.:cheesy smile:

OK OK dont forget about the 3.4 DOHC SHO motor that the cam would spin in the sprocket causing some banging.

The Panthers have that problem also. DPS here is in the process of looking for a replacement.

Powedered metal connecting rods in the later 7.3L. :sigh:

907DAVE Mon, January 11th, 2010 06:26 PM

Ohhhh yeah......forgot about those............. and the Forged Rods in my motor!:hehe:

JWBFX4 Mon, January 18th, 2010 11:30 AM

Cant forget about the mid to late 90's windstars...notorious for blowing head gaskets then usually throwing a rod. :doh:

907DAVE Mon, January 18th, 2010 11:35 AM

Haven't heard that one. Is it the 3.8l that did that?

Yea 3.8L....mostly seen it in 96's

ChuckD Tue, January 19th, 2010 01:42 AM

The 3.8 in general was bad about head gaskets.

88Racing Tue, January 19th, 2010 08:43 AM

Early to mid 80's 1.9L 4 cylinder's »timing belt broke, you were looking to repair/replace the head and/or pistons.

88Racing Tue, January 19th, 2010 08:58 AM

80's to early 90's distributor mounted ignition control moduals.

Yupp......but now days almost every 4 and 6 cylinder is like that (interference engine).

88Racing Tue, January 19th, 2010 11:51 AM

^^^
Ford did fix it in 86-87 by machining in reliefs on the pistons for the valves on the 1.9L. But then that genious engineer must have gotten fired or retired.
Haha
LOL's
