2016 Manual Oil Error
Ford switched the front wheel drive 3.5 ecoboost to 5w30 when the trucks launched the rear wheel drive 3.5 ecoboost. It was done just to make them common so that dealers didn't put the wrong oil in the trucks . You can run either viscosity in the front wheel drive 3.5 ecoboost. Synthetic .- shelby_sho

sound of rod bearings.
Doesn't sound like rod bearings at all. A rod bearing makes noise because there is too much clearance between the bearing and the crank journal. Every time the crank spins around the rod will knock against the crank. You could be feeling a misfire at idle. If so, plug wires and spark plugs...- shelby_sho

Low Coolant Light On
Every so often I have to add some to mine as well (makeup for evaporation??). I've found that it's a fine balance between having too little to keep the light off and too much. If I add a little too much, the first time I get the engine hot it will push some coolant out the overflow tube on the...- shelby_sho

Overactive ABS
Well the ABS trigger wheel went in as described. The only difficult part was pressing the new ABS ring onto the axle.

Overactive ABS

Overactive ABS
Anyone know where the article is describing how to replace the ABS ring (mentioned in a post above)? I have a cracked ring on my '94 and I was able to order the part cheap ($7 +$10 shipping). I'd love to have some advice on what's required to pull the axle and make the swap. Thanks!- shelby_sho

Slight misfire and back fire and now loud tapping
Before you go and tear the engine apart looking for the noise, verify that it is not the intake manifold runner control plates (the little throttle plates in each set of runners) by unpluging the electrical connector leading to the vacuum canister on the rear of the intake manifold (between cyl...- shelby_sho
