honestly i would have trashed it after the motor whent this spring.. but its my buddies.. hope he has deep pockets because the motor job alone was 3000..now these issues come up[/quote]

Being that its a 2000 F150 he could have picked up a newer one for that price well at least here in Florida he could.

If the caliper is not properly aligning on the guide pins this could be the issue or there’s an issue with the piston is hanging up to one side of the cylinder.

It sounds like to me that the caliper needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

Info incorrect post removed.

Starting to sound like a valve issue.

Valves out of adjustment or bad seals.

Here is some good info on aluminum vs copper/brass radiators.

I personally don’t think you will have problems with electrolysis but more with corrosion of the radiator down the road.

Fuel pressure at the rail?

Are you getting spark?

Bad fuse?

Wiring harness laying on something hot after the trans install?

[Ty]

It will cut off spark but also the timing of the fuel injectors causing the asd relay to activate.

Yes you can ground it to the ac compressor bracket just make sure its good and secure.but one thing you can try to get that bolt out is to soak it in pb blaster then apply some heat with a torch then use a bolt extractor or maybe a slightly smaller socket hammered over the head and it may come.

Fords are notorious for breaking bolts or rounding over.

Hope this helps.

At 67000 draining and refilling will be just fine.

[quote=”cdt456″ post=175913]Most of the time, fairly new fail gasket, usually is cause, by improper installation, not torque properly.[/quote]

Absolutely true i have replaced them before still finding bits of the old gasket under the new ones and once where someone had used tape to hold them in place when the intake manifold was installed that was my favorite lol.

As far as the fan clutch goes i cant remember if it is controlled by the coolant temp sensor or by the heat from the radiator but ether way it should be off when its cold.

If the coolant isn’t reaching optimal temp then maybe a duel problem being the fan always on plus the bad pump.

Man i hate coolant issues as much as no start conditions.
