not sure about antifreeze but think so. it was in all 4 holes. yea i know, lesson learned about plugs and wires. what stinks is i went to auto store and wanted motorcraft plugs and they ended up selling me the pricey'er bosch. i know i need to replace the new wires with motor craft but seeing how same problem persist id like to nail that down then i will jump back to wires. but again lesson learned only motor craft from here on out

i ran truck in driveway for about 30min then had my son rev up to about 3500 rpms for about 5min while i thoroughly inspected hoses/anything for leak, then ran truck about 10 miles pretty hard then back to driveway still running and could not find any leaks. my driveway is slanted towards street and we backed the truck in the day he got it for his birthday, then he gave it a good washing and ever since it has been skipping. i was out there so i know he did not wash engine, possible he shot water up and around grille. also washed top of truck and stood in the bed and rinsed down windshield toward hood with truck pointing downhill in driveway

The water probably got past the hood gasket. This is common.

Rock auto or tasca. Both sell discounted Motor craft parts. Dealers in my area are a massive rip off so I know tthat buying OEM parts is expensive if you dont order them off the internet..
