Eric, please show us technically minded the analysis troubleshooting that precedes the parts replacement. Many of us are not parts Cannon ripoff artist. We get satisfaction solving the problem the first time. Who wants to only be a shop manual flow chart lap dog dummy.
Really enjoy your indepth troubleshooting skills and video descriptions for us that like to learn, even 25 year old technology.
Some of us are still keeping the Ford OG stuff running, love OBD1
Don't turn into one of those Florida hack utube 5 video a week money shops that do no independent testing, just throws on cheap Dorman and pushes the ower minus his wallet out the door

I have a 2005 Silverado that I bought new. After opening the hood I noticed some wires over by the overflow tank were out of the plastic loom which disintegrated after 18 years. Well, I ordered some new loom and some of the 3M brand 33 tape that you rave about. It cost 12 for one roll. I haven't used it yet but it had better be the best electrical tape in the world. I will let you know after I use it.

Another SMA Flashback!
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If I had the chance to do it all again,
Tell me, would I? Could I?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
I simply choose to forget
So it's the gravy work
I will remember
Whenever I remember.
The way it was.

Got a '94 Splash 2 wheel peel regular cab. Same engine. Still going strong at 534k miles. Engine is original minus some gaskets and sensors. Transmission is a different story. Best truck I ever owned. Gave it to my brother and now my dad drives it. Ice cold A/C. Only problem is the dash is cracked, headliner is shot, paint has went south, and the frame is wore out where the strut arm bushings go.

I have cleaned countless Ford throttle bodies and intake manifolds because of clogged EGR passages. Used to set the EGR flow insufficient/excessive faults. The parts changers would automatically chunk a new DPFE on it. Hardly ever was at fault. The ones with severe clogging on some but not all cylinders would present itself as a misfire when EGR opened up. Happy 4th!

As a DYI, never had great luck with Standard Motor Products or with Airtex. OEM or Delphi and some Dorman items. Although, on the older vehicles, when it comes to the wire lead connectors, most of the available ones are from SMP. Excellent idea to go with the silicone based hoses. Nice and long they are with leftovers for odd jobs.

I remember my father-in-law buying one of these turkeys. It suffered from a high idle. Investigation revealed it had been on fire and the harness was cobbled. It eventually snapped the reverse band in the transmission. I did replace the band and eventually he traded it for a Tacoma which was trouble-free. I don't miss those turds.

I've done that with NAPA too. Their website defaults to the one closest to me, but occasionally I want something from the main store if I'm going into town or want it right away. It doesn't let you choose the store you're phoning, and it doesn't feedback which store is picking up the phone.

Well, at least the DPFE sensor is conveniently located. I had to change that out on my '96 Marquis recently. Seems the original sensor tubing was made of metal and condensation would form inside and cause rough-running. Replaced with an updated plastic sensor and all in good. GREAT VIDEO!

Those 4. 0 6 cylinder Fords may have not been the best on gas but they seemed to run and run without major issues. Friends had Rangers with them in. no problems except maybe on the 4wd Rangers keeping gas in the tank! Hahaha! Good winter trucks but probably not in your NY rust belt!

I have a '94 XLT 4. 0 with 145k on it. Never have had to do any internal work but it's got a warped head and drinks coolant. Maybe I'll fix it one day but it's easier to check it monthly and top it off. Thanks for the video and Happy 4th!

2 longer than needed silicone hoses for your sensor in package. Could have kept 1 hose intact and in stock, then just used the one and cut it accordingly for both connections, Hey I'm a penny pinchin piker. Great job Eric O.

Most of these are long gone to the junkyard from here in NY. My father had a 94 with the 3. 0. It was gutless as hell but it had 320k miles on it, all highway, when it got t-boned. Good trucks overall.

Eric the koeo idle voltage should be around 1. 0 v or so and yes you need to use those silicone hoses and make sure the dpfe ports are facing downward to keep moisture from getting in the sensor

Eric, where did you get your knife, or do you know what its called? Been looking for a small thin one like that for a while, everyone I find is either half plastic or super bulky. Thanks

Funny how you put up a DPF job. I've been watching a UK mobile mechanic who does hundreds of vehicles with clogged filters, duff sensors, and Adblue faults. Diesels are filthy vehicles
