    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    Very nice! I'm about ten to 15 years behind on what is going on in rod and mod currently. New upgrade technology comes about so fast these days. I've just got past 8 minutes in the video where he is rounding the head of the bolts to clear the rack rubber bellows. Maybe a large strong "carriage"...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    @AeroCoupe Have you seen anyone successfully install an electronic rack & pinion off of a 2017 F150 or other Ford onto the 2003 up aluminum style front suspension? At the shop, we have an '03 crossmember under one of the projects. We are contemplating gutting the R&P down to manual function then...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    @AeroCoupe You caught my attention '70 F100. Does it have 3 '03 aluminum front end?

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    Forgive me guys for going off topic. I was originally sharing that I saw a 1999 to 2001 Explorer pcm with PATS switched off. In the future, maybe I should make a thread and document the installation of an entire Explorer powertrain (harness and pcm included) into a '65 Mustang. I will make my...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    @90sickfox @Noobz347 I don't have a scanner or an oscilloscope to be able to see what is happening as far as misfires go. Nor do I have a temperature gun which would have been another way to check each cylinder. I was relying on the DTCs posted by the pcm. I don't have any experience with say...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    The Explorer 5.0s had a wasted spark ignition system. The 1999 to 2001 Explorer 5.0 pcm had PATS. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the first year that the Crown Victoria was coil-on-plug was 1998. A few years back, I had a 1999 Ranger that had a chip key, transponder, or PATS...

    Requesting Guidance for 306 motor swap - Fuel? - SD? MAF?

    @So_Flo Have you had the time to check out you harmonic balancer? A friend of mine has been chasing down a vibration issue and when he finally decided to change the balancer, that ended up being the problem. He said the old one "looked" ok, but after further inspection (with it off of the...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    ? And what you just said has a lot of variables in it too. I have seen more than one person that has used the Explorer/Mountaineer 5.0 powertrain complete (including harness and pcm) in their earlier Mustang/s and other Ford projects. Installing 5.0 Explorer drivetrain (you can do this in a Fox...

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    I was recently on Ebay looking for a P71 Crown Victoria pcm for my second coil-near-plug swap and came across this. If anyone is doing an Explorer 5.0 swap in a Fox body Mustang or early one for that matter, they may need a PATS off (security system switched off) pcm to make their project run...

    1966 mustang starter and pulley troubles

    The very first question is what kind and year is the engine? Then go from there determining which starter snout. Manual, automatic and 5.0 starter snouts are all different. An automatic starter snout plugged into a manual flywheel will damage the ring gear. Just two weeks ago, I was in an...

    Quick question about water pump / timing chain cover

    Also, a small block intake gasket could have a leak at the bottom of the water port of the intake where it meets the cylinder head and cause coolant/antifreeze mix to get into the crankcase.

    Place to Avoid: Jamison Auto Group in Gulfport, MS

    I've read your story then I did a 2 minute google search for Jamison Auto Group and found this. To me it would serve as a warning and show the company's true attitude about old American cars and their attitude about the people that own them. This is dated May 16th, 2023.

    Fox Is it time to replace the coolant?

    I've only seen one guy taste his fluids and that is the vice grip garage guy. @PonyGTrider What kind of reading do you get with the battery disconnected?

    68 fuel gauge maxes out at half

    The most recent voltage regulator/limiter that I purchased for a '69 turned out to be bad. I found a used one attached to the back of some old "loose" instruments and installed it. It worked! These wiring systems from 55 to 60 years ago are not severely complicated however previous owners have...

    Does your instrument cluster have a good ground wire?

    68 fuel gauge maxes out at half

    The twisted back together wires would be an indication that someone else has had a similar issue that you are having. One positive thing about it all is that the fuel, temp and oil gauge/s all function the same. It would be a little trouble to take your fuel sending unit out to test but if you...

    68 fuel gauge maxes out at half

    That's correct. You must have some resistance in a wire somewhere. Are you grounding to the tank or the frame?
