    Squeal in front of Engine.

    Yes..you're right ...its probablly the cam position sensor(looks like a little cap) setting sorta under EGR valve.I had the same problem...need special tool to install though,and get a genuine Ford replacement...about $325 to install at service center

    Thanks semperfi, But my concern is wouldn't this still be done "out of gear" if it was the lifters.

    Exhaust Leak Maybe?

    Thanks for the replies..but if it was an exhaust leak wouldn't it "sound" as long as the engine was running or not?...not just when engaged into gear,because in PARK and NEUTRAL its a perfectly sounding engine.

    My Noise....Revised

    Ok..Forget my last post about what I thought was an exhaust leak.The noise is a creeking/binding type sound..It only happens in DRIVE and REVERSE...not in PARK or NEUTRAL..Just as I give it gas...just enough to creep along you can hear it...even setting with it in gear and your other foot on the...

    I have a 2000 V6. I was wondering what is involved in converting to Cobra pads and calipers......will they ( the calipers) hook up to my existing brake lines? Will I need Cobra rotors as well?

    Wiper Malfunction

    Well, let me rephrase, they do return to the down position once you get them from hanging up and back to off.I am thinking it it in the wiper switch itself,maybe the delay mode is gone or has a short in it.They work fine in high or low.I don't seem to think the linage is bent.If it is in the...

    No, They do not always "park" in the down position. What is your concern on that?

    Wiper Malfunction

    I discovered this weekend that my windshield wipers began to "hang-up" in the delay mode,but would work fine in "high" or "low" steady wiping...I am sure this is an electrical problem.Does anyone have any further input on this? I hope it doesn't result in completly replacing the wiper motor.Any...

    Front end is squeaking and pounding?

    Don't know if this will be any help, but my 2000 did the same thing sorta, squeaked when I would especially slow down for speed bumps, etc... I tend to believe it was my center caps...unfotunately they were stolen...but no more sqeaks at low speeds.Also try lubricating your strut bushings...3M...

    Stock Diameter of V6 exhaust pipes?

    Yeah , Thanks guys! I talked with a Flowmaster Tech today and 2.25" is what he said.He also persuaded me in going with the "50" series instead of the "Delta 40", he stated the firing order was not right for the "40" and could cause some popping & cracking sounds in the future.Also the "40" would...

    Stock Diameter of V6 exhaust pipes?

    Hey Guys! I have read almost all the threads concerning Flowmaster Mufflers.I am considering the Delta 40 series.What is the stock diameter of the exhaust pipe? And does Flowmaster make one to hook right up to it without further modification? :shrug:
