I noticed that too though I thought Ford.... but the question in the video was what is wrong mechanically, not electrically.

Another guess? The hatch struts are worn out. Am I right?

milkshake time? Or a bad headgasket, but if it was the headgasket we should have seen some white smoke from the exhaust.

I thought it would be fairly easy to make it run...& it was right up to the point I figured out the headgasket was blown....

Brian,

I have a good 4.7L us engine sans intake that I could sell pretty cheap. Pm me if you are interested.

Although due to the engines design I am not suprised this breach could happen. It is what I suggested could have happened with oups engine.

Does it have the in tank oil cooler? If so, maybe its not the head gasket.
