Original electric engine cooling fan failed to come on once. A tap on it got it working, but a replacement was nonetheless prudent. Installation requires draining the cooling system to disconnect radiator hoses, so I did a flush and coolant replacement at the same time

My Lincoln became victim to the notorious Ford 4.6 V8 intake manifold leak. Although upgraded from plastic to metal in 2003, even the upgraded one can develop a leak. I changed it out myself (with the help of YouTube). Relatively simple, but time-consuming process. Replacement manifold is $169, but requires draining the coolant. An additional $30 covered new coolant, and a specialized tool for unhooking the fuel line. 
50000 mi Small loss of coolant. Found heater hose at firewall had minute pin hole. Ordered new one and cut hose back 1.5" to portion that was in perfect condition in the meantime.
