Shoot me an OFFER
2004 Lincoln LS 3.9L
118xxx miles
Leather interior
Dual climate control system...
Also I have this "whilsting noise" coming from the throttle body/Manifold area, when am driving. The whilsting stops and goes as I tap the gas pedal....Weird
Actually, When I bought the degas bottle it DID NOT come with a new cap. It did by the way come with the bleeder hose and bottom hose.
I have noticed also that during the last step of the bleeding process there was barely any pressure when I removed the cap.
yes i have inspected it and it nothing is leaking.
I have replaced the tube that goes into the engine too. it was brittle so i then replaced it.
I think am going to order a Motorcraft thermo housing and thermostat from rock auto
:( round 7 or 8....i lost track already lol
Am also getting the whilst sound coming from the throttle body (Stock Air Intake BTW)
Sound increases as I tap the gas pedal or while am driving at a constant speed.
Weird...
:(
I just sold mine this past thursday 69 Mach 1 351W with a Candyapple Red paintjob and a flat black hood.....Dang Uncle Sam got the best of us this year. lol
All plastic pieces have been replaced for sure that you have mention.
As for the rubber seals, I did re-use the existing ones.
There was nothing wrong with them, no wear or tear, stretching etc...
I also measured the outside temp of the hoses using a laser temp reader, while the car was at...
T-Shape hose
Thermostat Housing with Thermostat
Hose Assembly that connects to the water neck and thermo housing (2nd time)
water neck that goes down to the engine block that attaches to the hose assembly
Degas Bottle
Flushed Radiator fluid--free of junk (nothing suspicious(debris))
Bleed...
Raised the RPM's and I got the steady current I was waiting for.
About 20 seconds in on the 75 deg process the Fan Kicked in HIGH. - and stayed high.
Am Lost guys.....lost :( lol
OK.....Am still waiting for the "stream" of coolant to bleed but am getting no constant flow.
its been about 35-40 min now, and still no "stream" flow
:(
am about 10-15 min in as we comment and there is only irregular dripping coming from the bleeder hose. I will keep waiting.
As am waiting I hear a whistling sound coming from somewhere for about 10 seconds then the fan kicks in (low) and the whistling Stops.
About every 2 min.
...
Am going to do another bleed on it shortly.
When coolant begins to flow out of the heater bleed its coming out but its not a steady stream, more like inconsistent stream.
This time I will let it bleed until it looks like a "stream", right?
I was "told" by an individual that the Duralast Thermo/Housing already come pre-assembled and there is no need to remove or re-install the T-stat.
The housing came with the T-Stat already pre-assembled.
I do not see a leak (White residue) anywhere :(
Maybe replace the thermostat again?
Alright Gotcha!
I will start looking this morning.
Question: On the Temp Housing (Duralast Version) When you open the cap, there is a little pocket that when it is over filled it begins to drain out.<<<< Is this suppose to be like this?
Am trying to find the old one I had to compare...
