Got under the hood today to check oil and saw the last time i had the truck in for a flash i forgot to pull the EGR valve plug. I decided to pull the EGR and clean it then leav it unplugged. We'll after about a half hour of cuss words i got the ******* out and see it is stuck partway open. In the process of cleaning it right now. Noticed i was low on anti-freeze and added a fuggin gallon!!!!!! I suppose being the EGR was stuck open that it overheated the damn EGR cooler and now that ******* is leaking!!!! We'll see how soon it takes for the anti-freeze to dissapear again!! The cooler was replaced at 60K and i have 120K on it now so it gotta be the issue. BTW, this EGR valve has only been in for 9K miles!!!!
I have noticed that i had some abnormal tire wear in the front so i jacked the fugger up and low and behold the upper ball joints are fuggin shot!!! They were replaced at 70K!!!!!! Ford put greasable ones in the bottom but used non-greasables in the top!!! Asshats!!!! I ******* em out when the fixed it and they said the tops NEVER cause problems!!! Wish i got that in writing!!!! BTW, my 2000 is still running around Flardy with 180K on it and the ORIGINAL fuggin ball joints!!!! I can't wait to dump this POS and get me a 94-97.................
