01V6 236k miles, motor mounts are crushed. What is the level of difficulty to replace them. This is still my daily driver but the number of repairs needed are growing by the day. The vacuum lines are as brittle as dry spaghetti. Even the thick rubber hoses snap like twigs. Chasing the P codes...

2001 V6 3.0L The vacuum harness connects to the EGR valve then travels back to the EGR vacuum valve then to the back of the intake manifold for suction. I have found plenty of parts for the F150 that look identical, however it says they are not compatible. So does anyone know the manufacturer...

1401/401 DTC code solved. 01V6 222K miles. Performed the usual checks nothing found. Replaced the DPFE sensor and EGR valve. Cleaned out the EGR channel thru throttle body of carbon. Used air compressor to check flow, good. Ran engine without EGR valve dettached, air flow, good. Used a bore...

Going to change out my DPFE hoses on the old 01V6. The problem is there is no room to work between the engine and firewall to replace the two hoses. Has anyone changed them on the 01V6 that can instruct me on how to do it? thanks tireman 01V6 222K miles running well.

My DPFE was giving me the EGR low flow signal so I decided to open it up and see what was inside. The two hoses connect to two different chambers with an IC pressure switch that opens to both chambers. As you can see one chamber is full of carbon and the other full of moisture and corrosion...

01V6 216k miles, ok put a new transmission in at 75K. so this one has 135k miles on it. So when the weather changed to cool, when first backing out of the carport, the tranny growls at me, put it in neutral with engine running and the growl stops, Shift to drive and the growl goes away, then it...

I found the third brake light out and replaced it. But the dash warning light stays on? Checked all the other lights, even the glove box, doors, interior, cig lighter, etc. etc. no lights out? Hmmm, checked turn, fog, high and low, trunk, backup, license plate, side markers, backup, all ok. Does...

Once again my 2001 V6 hydraulic fan actuator stopped working. At $185 for a new one, I was determined to find out the reason for the failure. I had suspected, just like the DCCV that the piston had jammed on grit floating around in the system. A report done by the SONY company found that the...

So i just got done fixing the EGR valve and throttle body. The throttle body port to the EGR valve was plugged with carbon and the EGR valve was heavily carboned. So 2 weeks later I get the P1400 EGR sensor low voltage WTF? I changed the sensor at 100K miles due to another code being thrown. I...

OK, problem fixed. Had the same problem last year, removed the EGR valve cleaned the carbon off the moving shaft and reinstalled. Fixed problem for a year. This year got the same code, removed the EGR valve cleaned it out and same code appeared....So replaced the EGR valve, it was really bad...

Great little engine, still runs strong. This month the ATF power steering hose gave up. It is the return hose back to the reservoir, the large one. The rubber was just old and seeping. Instead of buying a $$ new hose, went to the store and bought a foot of good hose for $4 bucks. Fresh new...

Runs like new. Had the usual problems over the years. This year only had to replace the radiator. Daily driver. Got smart and started buying lifetime guaranteed parts. Leaks some oil here and there, but who cares, just put some more in. Never replaced the steering pump or water pump. Anyone with...

Just finished replacing the radiator after 195k miles. It is difficult but can be done if you take your time. Here is what i found out. The radiator is 29" at the top and 30.25 at the bottom. You must remove it from under the car otherwise it is too difficult to remove. Get a sawzall, bungee...

After 15 years this car is running good. 191K miles, replaced the a/c compressor this year and a new set of tires and and upper ball joint arm.....my DCCV is acting up again, cold outside and not so warm inside. It needs some exercise to loosen the pistons, else its change out time again. Car is...

Hello all! Have not been here in a while now cause the Lincoln is running great. Owned her for 15 years now, my daily driver, 182K miles and climbing. Great condition, no rust southern car. So I always had a issue with the vacuum line going from the throttle body to the PCV connector at the back...

01V6 174k miles, ok its time to change em out! But where can you buy the long bolts and nuts for the control arms?

Not sure what happened to my previous post on this. Seems to have disappeared. The story goes like this. Replaced coils and valve cover gaskets at 95k miles. Now at 172k miles engine starts to rumble. So I check driver side plugs, oil! Replace gasket and coils on drivers side. Plug wells are...
