Thanks everyone. not fixed yet but the more I look into it, the more I see this as a problem with the fixture itself
And don't get me started on a rant about which automaker is worse than the other, because I have had enough Fords to know about them and their crappy faulty timing chain cover gaskets that go bad and cause engines to burn up number one bearings  thousands of dollars for new motors  None of the car companies are perfect, I am happy with Honda though(for now), they go out of their way to satisfy the customer
The problem should be a recall but GM loses enough dough already, I bet they just blow it off..............

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Slip just out of curiousity which motor are you referring to with the faulty TC cover?? My last three 351, 4.6, 5.4 had a combined odometer reading of around 625K and prior to that I had 2.8 Ranger 300 6 in a 150 and 351 Cleveland in my 86 f-250 and I can honestly say the biggest engine repair I had done was intake gaskets on my 4.6 at right around 200K One glaring problem I remember was my 86 F250 with the POS Holley carb that would leakdown into the motor while sitting and you would have to floor it to get it cleared out to start but thats another story

Thanks werench  I'll give it a try.
VF, I had a 1997 E250 van , the first year they stopped the straight 6 300ci  and went with V-6 4.6 liter engines instead. Nothing wrong with those 300 6's, can't understand why they cheapened and put such a small engine in that big supervan  I had a 1986 brand new ranger and they underpowered that as well with a 2.0 liter engine, guess I didn't learn.....
The gasket for the timing chain went, I could smell antifreeze but three trips to the mechanic to figure out where it was coming from and then fixing it must have been too late, a short while later I was on the highway and poof, motor burnt the number 1 main bearing
I had a 1986 E150 with the straight 6 and it cost me didly squat to run it for 5 years, I made money with that van, the 97 cost me so much I wrote off ford for a while. I love my chevy truck.

Daytime running lights
Just another type of Bull%$%$%$%$ gadget the 3 American auto companies have come up with to make the American consumer buy their peices of crap they call cars/trucks !!!
Maybe if they had been making vehicles with quality that don't fall apart like Japan has been for years they wouldn't been loosing millions each quarter and closing dealerships all over,
while for years , Toyota has been turning HUGE profits every quarter (17 billion last quarter)

Someone on the tube stated that Toyota's profits were greater than the big American 3 put together. While selling fewer cars, barely but still fewer. I know that I don't weep when I have to repair a Toyota.
