This I know a fair bit about. My son and I just did a heater core replacement on one of these jeeps. If it is leaking toward the back of the engine on the passenger side it is the heater core. My son’s jeep did not have puddles of coolant on the floor board either. Pull up the carpet and I bet you find coolant soaked into everything. If it is a slow leak it will run down and under the carpet.
The good news is that while it appears a daunting task to pull the IP it is not as bad as you think. There is a really good Youtube video and written step by step instructions. I actually found getting to the heater hoses much harder than pulling the IP.
If you determine it is the heater core ping me I will dig up everything I used.

Not to put to fine of a point on it but your video is craptastic. To dark and impossible to identify what you are showing us in ultra close up. Is that the t-stat housing? Looks to me like a gasket/seal/o=ring issue. If this guy helping you broke something lose and moved it it could be pinched or torn. The 2nd video I can see a radiator hose I think which makes sense. You very well might need to take it all apart and check out the seals whatever variety they are. Sorry would like to help further but way to hard to see what you are showing.

I’d start with the thermostat. It is the cheapest, easiest thing you can do. I have a bad habit of always thinking “big fix” first and it is often a small thing that causes the issue.

Beg, borrow, buy a jack and some jack stands. They will seem a lot cheaper after you rear end something and total your car or hurt somebody. Park it like now!

This won’t help you with your GPS, Windows CE is well windows after all, but I’d get away from the dedicated GPS for anything other than marine applications. If you have a smart phone and use the GPS on that you are better off. This post is older so you may already have found a fix. If not I would check the computer boards.

I owned 2 5.4l and my personal experience was they were great. I did not own either over 4 years however. Plenty of power but I did not like the mileage I was getting. I guess a van and truck not good examples. I frequently pulled a 4000+ lb boat without a sweat. I imagine Ford will be bringing it back after they rework it to bring it up to the new EPA stuff. I sure hope they don’t ruin it with EcoBoost.

Last week I replaced the blower motor for the enviro unit. It is under the hood on the firewall passenger side. When I changed it out I noticed I could see the blend doors through the hole. I did not try it but I have to imagine you could run your heat and see if the doors move. If you are careful you might be able to manually move them and see if you get heat. That would pin it down for sure.
