Pulled my valve cover, looked at my cam phaser on the drivers side. Anyone know how to tell if its bad? Also, looks like a tough job to get the chain off... Any pointers?

Hey all, I noticed an intermitant grinding noise that comes from my drivers side valve cover only when in gear, drive or reverse. It stops when I put it in park or neutral. It's not very loud, I can hear it sitting still with the hood open, but not when I'm driving. Could this be a timing...

Im still waiting on my new throttle body to arrive, however I noticed something today in regards to my high creeping idle while parked. It seems to be related to temperature. I noticed that when I'm parked and idling, the idle rpms slowly climb from around 750 up to around 1000 rpm...

I went to ford, they said without a DTC they wouldn't be able to find the problem without throwing parts at it... I didn't like that so I left. Here's the main issue: When I start the truck my RPMs drop down to around 400 just after cranking/ignition, truck doesn't die, but its close. It...

Hello all. I was driving around and at WOT I started hearing this strange vibration coming from what I thought was the rear of the engine bay. I was looking at all sorts of things trying to figure it out... Then today I notice the plastic cowl that sits between the windshield and the hood was...

Hello all! I'm in the process of doing some upgrades to my Trac, mainly just to give her more pep. I've done most of what I originally intended, but I'm kicking around the idea of replacing my exhaust with either a Gibson or Magna Flow kit. Ive already cut off the resonator and had a...
