Fords are built like shit...

Replacement of a Tee seems like it shouldn't be a problem. If it really needs a saddle though, I suggest something like Milliput. It's an epoxy clay. Somewhat like chemical metal. Oil your part, then form the clay over it, to make your saddle a perfect fit, and have a seat for a cable tie or hose clamp to hold it in place. Once it's set, pull it away, facilitated by the oil. You have cast the perfect saddle.

If you can't see the hole, I'm unsure how to proceed.

but apperently you like them . Seems to me that all the really old cars and trucks needed more wrenching
I did back then that was when I first got my license till my early twenties... Turned to light to medium duty trucks after that. Last truck was a 2002 Toyota tundra .. only truck I ever bought brand new... Just let her rest last year with no tool box required ...

I've been a Ford guy for a long time but can't wait to get rid of my 2018 Expedition. Bought it a few years used like I always do (31,000 miles) to get a basically new car for cheaper. Thank God I got the extended warranty. I haven't made it a whole oil change without having at least 1k of repairs and have had somewhere in the neighborhood of 15k in repairs to date. First it was undiagnosable coolant leaks it was in and out for months while I had a rental, then the coolant pump, then the entire A.C. system, then the computer, then the motor was leaking through the front main seal, then the seals on the rear axle, and currently none of my tps sensors work which they are claiming is my responsibility and cost $900. Here's the thing though, what are the odds that all 4 tps sensors break at the same time? Not a chance in hell. I believe it still has computer issues but can't prove it so fuck it. If I wanna know the pressure of the tire I'll use a $5 pressure gauge. I am watching the mileage and end date of my warranty so I can get rid of it the day before either of those is up. What really sucks is I'll probably be losing money being under water on this hunk of shit as they're very expensive but I had my last Lincoln truck for 15 years 275,000 miles. Fuck Ford and their new line of garbage.
