    2001 Reinell 190 with Ford motor and OMC outdrive

    Is it carbed or fuel injected ? If its fuel injected , that's when you won't be able to find Ford parts. My Ford is carbed and I've had no issues with getting parts .

    Burning ~3 quarts of oil between changes

    Sorry should have clarified . No leaks . Or extremely minimal leaks anyway. Is 20w50 too thick ? I looked at some and it was like cold syrup.

    cobra 3.0 hesitates

    what kind of carb is it ? My Holley had a blown power valve and it had a dead spot like that , but it was also running pig rich and you could just tell something was extremely off.

    F-150 Transmission Issues (I think? . . . No, I thought )

    hate to jinx your situation but your description is pretty much what was happening in my much older 91 Bronco with an E4OD transmission (fully electronic) . I was getting a code though about torque converter slipping. It would sometimes feel like I was driving on small rumble strips. a...

    Battery question

    weird , I dont recall ever having a battery fail in this fashion. I left it on a 2 amp charger all day , volts were in the high 12s at rest when I got home from work. as soon as I turn on anything , and I mean anything. Headlights, dome lights , simply just open a door , the volts plumet down...

    Battery question

    Hvac / thermostat question

    It does yes. There is a setup part at the beginning and you test each mode/wire.
