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,
