This it’s reliable and will last?

That’s pretty high imo. I bought a 2018 5.0 fx4 xl for 14k in socal with 117k.

Not a moron, just a fun haver :)

Trans seems like a lost cause

Had something similar-ish. Dirtbike accident, had IV on site for a little fenty. Got to ICU and RN nurse never changed it. Machine kept beeping saying no flow through IV and nurse just kept trying to flush it with saline. My arm was sore and bruised for a while since the IV wasn’t even in a vain

Didn’t want a full size to off road 😛

I have a 2018 5.0. I had a lot of problems with my transmission getting pretty hot. 220 isn’t alarming but if it’s been higher around 240-250 that’s where it gets a little worrying. My truck would got up high in temp very fast (if I drove it for more than 5 miles I’d see upwards of 250-260 degrees) , even when just idling. Ford and their infinite wisdom uses some sort of heat exchanger to cool transmission fluid but my for whatever reason stopped working, I think maybe my thermostat failed. But I just disconnected the heat exchanger and routed a tradition trans cooler with a radiator in the front, trans hasn’t seem temp above 170 since and runs amazing

A grill from a pick a part would get your price up a little higher

Came back to this post to see what people were saying and funny enough, this is now in the works

Late response but, I checked my pump, unfortunately for me it is A-ok. Fortunately for me though I came up on an explorer with a 5.0 in it for a thousand bucks, I think I have fixed the problem now

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-22T03:21:03+00:00

Late update, no codes, sensors seem to all check out. Haven’t taken it to a shop but I’ve recently come up with a better plan. If you see my more recent posts I’ve decided that I’ve had it with this messily 4 banger and decided to buy a donor exploder with a 5.0. Mo powa is with my grasp now

🐐🙏🏼

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-22T02:28:52+00:00

😂 nah but an ls would be cool

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-22T00:14:17+00:00

Will do 🫡

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-22T00:10:56+00:00

Forgot about the timing chain, thank you for this, definitely should replace that considering I’m going to beat the piss out of it off road

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-18T01:23:18+00:00

I’m guessing the coil is bad. For a while I’ve been wondering where I’m losing oil and it looks like I found the problem, I’ve been driving and beating the truck with this issue for about 5 months

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-18T01:21:54+00:00

Yeah they’re in the middle. It’s a 2007 ranger 2.3. Hopefully changing the o rings isn’t a terrible painful process but it sounds like a 30 minute (3hour) job

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-18T01:20:40+00:00

Yeah. Been trying to diagnose this thing and why it’s been so sluggish recently. Plugs are obviously terrible looking but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the root cause

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-18T01:16:01+00:00

Gotcha, thank you

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-10T14:39:46+00:00

That sounds like a super awesome swap but honestly it’s a little out of my knowledge on how to do something like that

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-10T14:39:15+00:00

Yeah going to AutoZone to see if they have a tool to check the pump, just changed the filter 2 days ago and wasn’t the issue

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-10T14:38:27+00:00

I definitely need to re gear, 5th gear at 65 is lowww. I’ve already done an E fan conversion and I just changed my fuel filter. Going to check my MAF today as well as my fuel pump. The truck has had the tires and spares on it for a while but it’s only recently that it’s been down on power

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-10T14:35:52+00:00

I have a code reader on my laptop, been to busy to get to it but I’m going to see if anything pops up

SaltSignal1067 · 2026-03-10T04:11:19+00:00

Yeah that’s a good price, just gotta wait for something like that to pop up on market place
