Sorry to have offended, or upset you, but from your earlier post, it sounded as if the starter was having a hard time turning the motor over the first crank of the day. The 3.0 have an intake/exhaust manifold that is prone to crack due to the extreme temp changes inside the manifold. WHat will happen is that the crack will be fairly small and over the course of days the water will slowly fill the exhaust or intake depending on where the crack is located, find an open valve and start to weep into the cylinder. I literally cant count how many I have seen do this. I was simply offering a suggestion so you wouldnt be chasing your tail in a circle. The first symptom of this is a starter that sounds faulty or a weak battery, but in reality the motor is trying to hydolock. Just trying to help, but I guess my help is not wanted here.
