    Well, the boots are for sure different...and going just from memory, it looks like the coils are a little different too...your hold down tab is at, lets say 11:30...mine is more like 2:00...I think.

    Yup, just looked it up...2V engines use the curved boots and coil mount position like mine (they refer to it as a DG508) and the 3V engines use DG511 coil with straight boot and mounting tab like yours...oh well, its still a stand up offer! Only on FHC! :handshake:

    Anytime:D I’m just curious to see what you find. I was flipping through online and saw some pictures of the cracked intake and bad gasket around the front coolant pipe. Sounds like what you’ve got going maybe?:headbang:

    Not sure when I will get back to it...spare time is at a premium right now...and I don't drive the truck that much, so not a high priority...but I will let y'all know what I find once I sneak up on it

    Just looked at the recommended tire pressure on the 04 f250 diesel- 55psi front and 77psi rear that is for 265 70r17LT oem size- this one has 285LT on it at present ( came that way). I been through the Firestone tire fiasco some years back as well on the trucks.

    If I ever get to cleaning up the garage, I may have the old ones out of my 2V van or pickup around. If I find them I will try to let you know. Happy to send them your way.

    Thanks, appreciate the offer, but I bought new ones then, still haven't put them on though...don't drive the truck much.
    I did suck the coolant out of the #6 spark plug well though...that helped a lot, still has an occasional miss...probably a bad boot if I had to guess. Still need to track the leak down too...probably the intake manifold, I'm pretty sure it is aftermarket. I vaguely remember the PO talking about when the engine was swapped out for the Jasper reman that's in it now...I think he said the intake was replaced too...
