Hi Alvin, that is very nice to respond with that info, but I"d like to clarify- I kept the key to my old truck, purely for sentimental reasons. I also have a key to a home I had out in California back in '94. It was built custom for me, and then I sold it, got divorced.. I guess it's a way for...

Thanks for all of your responses. I actually had to "say goodbye" to Betsy, I got my $150.00, and was told she was going to the crusher that week, so I sat in the drivers seat one last time, and made a little goodby, thanks for the almost 300K miles, we had a good time,,,, ha, Sorry you have to...

Hi, I wanted to return here, to thank everyone who helped me about a month ago, with "Betsy" my 89 Ford. You were all so helpfull, and took a lot of time to answer me with many possibilities, and efforts to trouble shoot my truck. Well, the sad story is, the engine truly was shot, I got a second...

oh, I don't know how many gallons are in each. I do know that the front is larger, and I have not used that for about three years. The rear tank, my understanding, is or supposed to be backup to the larger one. sorry, I"m clueless I m thinking I shoudl repair the front one, the fuel pump went...

Thanks Ridge! Hell, I feel that if I stay here on this website, I can do anything for my beloved truck!!! no time this morning, but will check those links later on today! (And as soon as this problem is behind me, I have a ton of questions how I can fix the rust before it gets worse!!! will post...

thanks shortbed, you are all so helpfull, again, this truck is my old buddy, means a lot, will let you all know farmlady

You all have no idea how "rejuvinated" I feel, to be able to save this old truck I really love!!! All of you are helping me, and again, you all have no idea (or maybe you do) how sentimental this truck is to me. I will try it today Mil, and if nothing comes out, meaning no gas pressure, then...

Hi Texas, never heard of sea foam - does it do the same thing as the gas stabilizer? I have to say, I am very happy with the idea that I can most likely fix my old truck, I will put "her" photo on here, then I have more questions,,, about rust, and what I can fix myself . thanks, fl

Thank you Mil1ion for that information. That photo is worth more than all explanations, now I know where to find it. About four days ago, I bought STP fuel stabalizer, they guy at Walmart told me to put both (small) bottles in the gas tank, it's still running the same. Meaning, after ten...

wooops- he has a very good reputation

Thanks for your response. Ater thinking about all the great responses I got here over the last day or so, I found a new mechanic, he has a reputation, and just came back. For fifty bucks, he's going to look at it, and assess what's going on. Well worth that to me. I'll come back if anyone wants...

Thanks shortbed, nice of you to respond. I am sort of a say it like it is, lady. independent, maybe clueless about trucks, but I can learn. Funny thing, a lot of what he said just wasn't true, about the fuel filter, so that's why I responded the way I did. All of you are very knowledgable, and...

Thank you Crzybil- I'll look for it tomorow! I guess anything is easy, once you know how, and I would like to learn about my truck, will try that,Farmlady

HI again, I"d like to comment again,1) Solve the status of the gas- how? I can either run the engine till the tank is empty (which I"m doing,) and I"ve treated it with dry gas to addres the water issue. (cheapest initial effort) and after running it, add more quality gas to it, to see if I've...

oh, I"m not sure why my post was put in two different places, seeing as how I just joined here yesturday, someone was trying to help, and it was done in error I"m sure. well so what, look how many people came to help out, much appreciated by me. again, sorry that you posted what you did, I"m...
