The flexplate doesn't care how you bolt it up. If you are mixing and matching engines/transmissions the converter can have a bit of excessive endplay. This, according to aftermarket converter suppliers, causes a random, hard to pinpoint light knocking noise in the V-10. Probably because the slots on the converter don't properly engage the trans oil pump. Flexplate bolts can be shimmed with flat washers to take up some of the slack.

Only things on that side of the motor, up top, are the coil packs, injectors, and egr solenoid. Down low is the crank sensor, and oil pressure sensor..... None of them are one-wire connectors though.... There another wire buried further back into the harness?

[QUOTE=Stitch Mitchell;3507864]Anyone know what this broken white wire on the passenger side by the coil packs goes to?

Upon further review, looks like a jumper wire for either my alarm or my remote start!?


The only thing that is missing a wire is that red pinch clamp! Looks like its gotta be a hack in from one of those stereo hacks I paid to install my remote start?

Check out these injectors? Rust! Only water can rust. Or can fuel rust too? They get good money for water up here! About 2.91$ a gallon right now!!

Default V10 transmission cooler lines

Anyone know how to remove these with something other then a sawsall? The Haynes simply says remove them? No Sh*t!

Looks like the bottom one has a foot long hose to a threaded fitting? Guess i am answering my own questions! Lol! Maybe it will help someone down the line!?

Bottom hose has a 1 foot chunk to a threaded piece! Git er done!
