How many screws are holding the control down? I'm trying to get my lower intake off and it's stuck in that area. Having the hardest time! Cannot find any videos on this. 04 mustang V6 3.8 I'm about to break the bushings myself at this point but afraid it's not only that because my luck. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
rock auto has a five pack of these bushings for about $4. Under "Engine: Intake Manifold Vacuum Retainer Bushing" checked part number in item description and reference matched #F5RZ9F955AB
Bushings must be OEM. Tried the aftermarket ones and the rods fell out of the actuator arms. OEM ones are manufactured differently and don’t let the rods fall out.
@@jvst20051 for this job, I only use OEM for that exact reason. I ain’t gonna do the job twice just to save a few bucks, it’s gonna cost more money and time in the end doing it over.
Ford bushings are what 9 bucks? Just get the fomoco bushings. Not worth it. I have 07 F150 4.2 it has 212k miles, and I've replaced the bushings once at 161k still going strong.
No I have a 98 it has a imrc it's just vacuum actuated. And has one on each side. The dormant bushings are fine too. #47099. The bushings have to be installed first in hole. I think you installed it first on rod and forced it in hole which ruined it
Are they OEM bushings or aftermarket? Had problems with the aftermarket ones, the actuator arms would fall out of the bushings even when new. OEM ones fit perfect and the actuator arms stayed in the bushings no problem.
shawn, check out *Mustang v6 tech support* on youtube. he's got full in-depth video on our engines. maybe he can help you out! if you cant fid him in search bar, he's got a small channel, search Mustang v6 tech support in google search it should come up. side not, what ever happened to the red and white v6 dude?
I’ll look into that. I sold it to a family member years ago. Ended up getting an 04 Mach 1 for only $5K. I have another 3.8 in the garage that I just finished painting. Might do some GoPro recording with that one 👍

Same engine basically. The Essex V6. Came in 3.8, 3.9, and 4.2 liters. In both longitudinal and transverse configuration.

Do you mean the IMRC black box? At least 2 I think. Maybe 3.
Do you have to remove just the upper intake manifold or the lower as well to access the bushings? I have a rwd F150.
Just the upper intake manifold. You can access the bushings and replace them with the rest of the engine untouched.

Yup. One and done my friend.

did some 00 models not have the rods and the black box?
99/00 I don’t think had IMRC. It was 01-Up.

Got a 97 f150 with the 4.2. It has 2 seperate actuators for each cylinder bank
i got the bushings in but the little arm isn’t going into the bushing
Are they OEM bushings or aftermarket? Had problems with the aftermarket ones, the actuator arms would fall out of the bushings even when new. OEM ones fit perfect and the actuator arms stayed in the bushings no problem.
They are OEM bushings I tried it again but the actuator arms don’t wanna go into the bushings.
@@bryangarcia2111 do you have them on the right way?
If it was on the engine you'd have those intake holes covered!
U don’t need ford parts for this , goto auto zone, the part #47099 they work the same as the ford pieces.
They’re made by dorman
