@@wes11bravo well that’s one way to look at it. For a small business owner, flipping multiple cars at a time. Such a tow unit that can be driven with a normal licence. Reliable. You only use it for loads. Many of the old army vehicles the usa left in 1945 still drives. And this unit is like it’s hercules brother compared to those old sixes and v8’s. Cars are getting rediculously complex. So for them to have such a old truck they can spend a few hundred on. Patch it. Get a seat out of a junker. And use. That’s not a bad deal. Even at that gas mileage. Where a big rig would do about the same. And now this one does 4x4.

[@EchoAccord]

Forget 700 miles, might not make it 3 feet

[@lawrencetaylor5481]

You probably already know this but, the Triton V-10 and V-8 had a head issue. They would "spit out " plugs. That contraption you found with the plug in it might have been their way to try and fix it. The most common things for it was to put a helicoil in there. The fact that you have no dash lights or gauges or speedometer tells me you definitely have a wiring issue as my 98 E350 has an electronic speedometer that does not run off of a cable. Also, the misfire could still be the coil but not be the coil itself but, be a bad connection in the plug. I ran into that with my V-10.

[@averyalexander2303]

Great content! Resetting the codes legitimately can stop a misfire after the actual problem is fixed. On some vehicles, once the ECU detects a misfire, it will stop firing that cylinder's fuel injector to protect the catalytic converter from unburned fuel and sometimes it won't start firing the fuel injector again (at least for a while) until the codes are cleared.

[@officiallennon3876]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@averyalexander2303]

​@PatientXero Correct, I never said it was. What I meant is that the ECU might have still had the fuel injector shut down after he changed the fouled spark plug since it had the code stored and clearing the code should re enable the fuel injector if it was disabled due to the misfire. I don't know if Fords did that back then, but I have seen more modern Fords shut down fuel injectors when a misfire is detected.

[@alb12345672]

@@averyalexander2303 Fords have a blinking check engine light if it detects a catalyst damaging misfire. It may turn the injector off for a minute then turn back on to test. Drivability wise you get a rumble like a bad torque converter. There is also a threshold to cause a code and illuminate a light. Some scanners have a special mode that shows EVERY misfire, no matter how small. I found this by diagnosing a bad coil on my 6.2L F150.

[@nitronick5659]

We're talking about a 1999 model here. Not a chance in hell the ECM is shutting down injectors because of a non firing coil or plug.

[@noway9880]

This varies, but all of them will attempt again after the next key cycle. The process repeats then. After X number of continuous misfires, stop injector for 2 minutes. Retry. Twice more like this and injector OFF for the rest of the drive, until next restart. It does help the cat..people determined to ruin it will still do so.

[@AdirondackAutosports]

That beeping is because the Airbag light bulb has blown and there is a fault. I chased this in my 94 E150 for awhile. Replace the bulb and the beep will go away.

[@markp2865]

The sound is very good considering all the wind. I bet the F350 will get better mpg because it's running on fewer cylinders because of misfires. Looks like you need left mirror. I would put blanket on seat. It can work as leg warmer if heater doesn't work. Good luck getting home.

Back in the day I bought a 1992 Honda Civic LX sedan with a D15B7 1.5L SOHC non-VTEC engine with a 5 speed manual that had a blown head gasket from a state park ranger in Elyria, OH and I bought it for $900 and drove it home 2.5 hours without a single issue until I got to the toll booths in Beaver Falls, PA when it released a HUGE cloud of white smoke. It ran mint the entire time until I got to those toll booths and slowed down, then the oil light came on and the cloud formed. I tore everything down and replaced the head gasket, the timing belt, and the water pump the next day, but the damage had already been done because the oil pump was trashed due to the amount of coolant that was in the oil. It didn't matter because I bought that car to swap the engine with a JDM D15B VTEC and a JDM Del Sol Si close ratio 5 speed manual. I put one of those whale penis intakes on it with a K&N filter, a set of AEM headers on it, and a full 2.5" eBay exhaust on it. It really didn't sound terrible or raspy, but it was still slow. I sold it for $1500 2 years later and bought a 1992 Cadillac Eldorado for $1600 with a 4.9L V8. I LOVED that Cadillac and best thing about it, it ALWAYS passed emissions.

Use that TRX for what you want to use it for. Also it could be the clock spring since the truck had airbag deployment is why the horn probably doesn’t work. And why you are having that beeping is because of the airbag the light is probably on telling you to service the system.

[@dewdew34]

Nice thing about those Ford's with the 4.6 and i'm guessing the v10 is the heater core is behind the dash... absolute nightmare to fix, remove the dash, wiring, etc. If you don't fix it you won't be able to drive in the cold, windshield will fog up either way if you use the heat or not. When you use the heat you will have windows covered in greasy antifreeze. I fixed one on a Marquis, miserable... The second, they all leak eventually, i used k-seal and it worked for now but it needs replacement. 4.6 is a great motor but that heater core issue makes me never want another unless it's been replaced recently...

[@donhiebert3750]

Dunno whether this is already in the comments but the early 2000 V10 has less than a quarter inch of cylinder head threads for the plugs to engage but the plugs themselves have way more threads on them than that. Carbon builds up on the exposed threads during normal use and when they are removed, the carbon compromises the threads in the cylinder heads. Using a penetrating oil or spray when removing plugs and a back and forth gradual technique will allow removal with little or no damage. If you force them out in a single step, there WILL BE damage, and the plugs may be ejected at a future date from the cylinder head during normal operation. Good job Ford! There are retrofit kits which require tapping of new threads, installation of new sleeves, blah, blah, blah.
