      I think the only way to do it is to get the tester. I don’t know were your from but in New Hampshire we can go to the local autoparts stotre (auto zone, napa, pep boys, advance auto) and rent the combustion gas tester.

          I’d check and see if there is coolant flow maybe the fins on the water pump are on there way out. Check the coolant pressure cap and see if it holds pressure & also check the heater core hoses(inlet & outlet) on some cars the coolant flows through the heatercore all the time not just when you turn the heat on. If thats clogged eric has a video on how to back flush a heater core. I’d also say bleed the cooling system again & check for combustion gasses in the coolant via block tester.

              When you work for ford as a technician and have some ford factory credentials. Ford gives you a username and password to use on there PTS website. You can do web based training, look up tsb’s, recalls, wiring diagram. Anything you would ever want to know about ford cars can be found on that website.

                          Believe it or not I’ve seen 5.4L trucks and 4.6l up in the 250k-300k range and still going strong on a regular basis. I know a lot of people say fords cars stink and are POS. But there new ones are really nice and reliable. I’m not a ford fan boy (I’m a Cadillac guy) but the company has been doing really well for itself the past year. Just created i think 2k jobs in detroit that I saw in the news. And of recently they just up there stock divedend by.10 cents i know .10c doesnt sound like a lot but if the sock holders are getting a bump of there dividend i’m sure there in the + and doing well.

                          Let alone 2,803,397,653 Regular Common stocks
                          70,852,076 Class B Stocks.

                          Giving .10c to every stock that an investor holds is big when your talking over 2 billion =-0. My thing is if the company is making so much money why am i only making $11.00 =-0

                              I hate not having my own lift. I did that when i first started out in the field it stinks beyond belief. I’m glad your gonna stick it out with GM since you have been there for a while.

                                  I’m guessing you already did this but since you rebuilt all those parts. I’m hoping you bleed the brake system. I’m pretty sure the proportion valve has to be replaced because it can not be rebuild. Also check the metering valve while your at it just incase something went wrong with that.
