    Left stranded on ICW - '07 5.0 GXI Safety Lanyard circuit?

    5.0 GXi-J fuel pump relay keeps tripping

    Did you try unplugging the two pumps and then switch ign key on? Did heat go away after having them eliminated from load. I assume your getting this heat when engine is running? Pumps should pump up at key on and then shut off at some time or pressure threshold.

    2025 should have a bumper crop of freeze busted blocks come spring

    The '07 VP 5.0 drain setup makes it a contortionist chore. The # of ports, locations and wrench variety required to drain are a knuckle busting head scratcher to me. 7 - 8 different plugs and or hose ends.

    I missed the comment as to why you were or are considering going to a different 302 block. What was wrong with the original block? Did you see why one side was running hotter than other?
