I guess Jacques, we are banking on any cooling system fault to be common to both banks, which in the majority of cases of "normal use faults" would be how it happens...

Hi Lynn,

Totally agree with you. About the only scenario I could see is a severe leak in the bank with the "switch" either from a severely leaking hose or a blown head gasket but the temp would rise rapidly anyway in the other bank due to overall coolant loss. A torn fan belt would also result in a rapid rise in both banks so it probably isn't as essential as I originally thought. Obviously Ford thought so too for 12 or more years.

Thanks for posting those service bulletins. Myself, and I am sure many others, now know a lot more about those vital engine parts than we did a few hours ago.

Cheers,
