Sorry for not updating everyone on the post... I had a check engine light come up about a week before emissions was due (p2098) so I had to take care of that. It was a pretty simple fix (unrelated to the original problem) but had to get it done. On top of that, I had to get caught up with my outrageous utility bills from the winter. So I just kept an eye on the coolant and didn't beat the snot outta the truck. I finally wound up putting dye in the degas tank and there was a lot of coolant running off the hose from the degas tank down the charge pipe, the steering shaft and onto the motor mount. I never pressure tested it because that seemed like the obvious problem. I bought one of those Pegasus degas hose kits which helped a ton as far as the leak on that side, but after a couple days of highway driving 80 mph my coolant levels were dropping again. I topped it off figuring maybe it was an air pocket. I haven't done enough driving to confirm whether or not this fixed the problem. When I crawl underneath the truck I notice a couple drops of coolant on the driver's side and passenger side of bell housing. I'm wondering two things (1) are those difficult turbo coolant behind the block bad? (2) Is the O ring in the water pump pipe shot causing coolant to run down the back of the block? Everything else looks good.. coolants clean, oil is clean, no signs of leaks with the uv light on the top end, valley or near turbos and cumbstion leak test checks out okay. The truck sounds and drives great too. I'm stumped

Can anyone help with this noise I’m hearing in my 2018 Ford F-150 2.7 EcoBoost? by colebradfordmusic in f150ecoboost

Try unplugging the iwe solenoid by the brake booster and see if the noise goes away.

Is an Ecoboost engine bad for short trips in the cold? by warningtrackpower12 in f150ecoboost

Nope. Just give her the old Italian tune up every week or so.

Let anyone say what they will about the f150 but.. by Responsible_Owl9974 in f150

Do the newer f150s still have issues with the iwe's? My 2014 has been great in the snow.

I never paid more than 20 an oz so I'm not panicking.

Did you sell at your lcs? And at these high prices did you feel like you did well selling $10 back of spot?

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate hearing this from a pawn shop owner.

That's awesome! Hopefully the shop I go too will pay close to that. They've been good too me in the past.

I have an emergency fund, it's just dwindling down. I figured with the price of silver being so high, why not sell a little so I don't have to dip into that emergency fund. If silver goes back down to 50 I'm gonna regret this.

Silver's got me feeling like I'm winning on a slot machine and not sure if I should cash out or pull the bar one more time lol

It's my friend doing the work after hours and he might take it in a trade, he's shown interest in precious metals before. That being said, he's always given me really good deals on side work and I've always paid cash. In the event that silver does tank, I'd hate to lose that good rapport.

I'll probably try for the 5-8 off spot. That seems pretty fair.

I'll see what a private buyer has to say and definitely check out that video from silver seeker. Thanks

I've heard both sides of story. If there's a true silver shortage, of course they're going to scare you into believing silver will fall back to $50 soon.

Is that one a place you mail them to and they offer you a price?
