05 E Series. In the 15 years of my career I've never seen one this bad.

???????????

Filler neck, light plug for running boards if equiped, and another one for something with the tail lights. It's been a couple of years since I did it.

Body off in excursions is the way to go. Not much extra to unhook.

Parts catalog will tell you if the clockspring is different between cruise and no cruise.

You could probably pick up a boneyard column with wheel fairly cheap.

I got a 2011 F150 3.5 Ecoboost that decided it wanted to sound like a late 90's Jetta diesel when it ran. Found this.

I'll look in mine later, but I believe on that one you will need a different steering wheel. I'm not 100% aboutif the clock springs are the same either.

I did it on my 97. I had to put the steering wheel switches in and I made a jumper for the deactivation switch instead of buying the new master cylinder and the switch. The connector for the deac switch was there.

It's never a good feeling when a 6.0 is starting to suck air cause it's almost out of fuel. It's even worse when it's your own truck and you are 5 miles away from the nearest fuel station.

You'd have a better chance of getting a pink unicorn.

I had one that the service manager made me fix. Only had 1 broken wire and 15 more that were chewed into. But no other damage anywhere else.

Let me guess... under the battery junction box.

Looks like an airline truck to me. I think they use them to load stuff on the planes.

Ah... That makes sense. But I do agree it is a waste if that is all it does.

I thought they were a flow sensor to make sure it's connected and that there was supposed to be a small amount of variation when it was running.

Not exactly. If you have more change then you are starting to get blow-by. If my memory serves me right there is only one tube hooked to the valve cover. These engines do not have a positive crankcase ventilation system. Even the one Escape I had with crankcase vent codes didn't have that large of a difference between koeo and koer.

I got nothing in my bay at work for the next 10 days. But I got an Oliver 550 that needs a pto clutch in my bay at my buddy's shop.

Cheap people irritate me. Found this in the trailer tow power fuse on my dually this morning. And it was popped. Or at least it wasn't feeding power to my trailer.

How cold was it in your part of MN? I had 22 below Fahrenheit. No gelled trucks brought in but plenty of phone calls to advisors asking about why it would say low fuel pressure on my dash Cause it's low. Duh. We only had 10 or 12 below over here.

Dammit you beat me to it. From what my local fse told me a few months ago it is supposed to replace the vcm 2. I'm not in agreement with that idea with that kind of a price tag.

With that additional piece of info I agree the pump is toast.

I forgot about that but yeah that too.

Not exactly true. The air leak will echo through the block and come up through the drain valve and sound like it's a junk pump. I've seen it on a couple of trucks now. If you push the drain valve down it goes away.

Even though the engine comes with a crank sensor bolted onto the back of the block you are still expected to transfer the tone ring.
