f150; 6 cylinder; automatic; longbed; 150k miles....Am considering replacing my radiator which has never been rodded out or cleaned for a new one and want to know if I should get a 1 row or 2 row replacement? Anyone have recommendations on this? Thanks.

An update....took off the coolant reservoir and found the bottom full of solid crud that totally blocked the return hose to and from the radiator. Will finish up reinstalling the reservoir along with a fresh windshield washer pump. I flushed out the radiator with fresh water plus some degreaser...

1994 F150; 6 cylinder; automatic 154k miles: I have a small gasket leak in my water pump but have put off repairing it. Today I had let water level get too low so water temp gauge got over to the right of 'Normal'. I stopped and opened radiator and this brown/rusty water came vomiting out. I...

1994 F150; automatic; 4.9L; 148k miles.... couple of weeks ago poured a can of Seafoam in my front tank (the only one whose pump works) as I have had good results with using this product in other vehicles. Ran the truck and refilled gas tank couple of times since the SF dose. Was going up the...

1994 F150, 4.9, automatic, 114k miles, longbed... just had trouble filling my front tank on my truck today. Put the nozzle in and pumped gas in but nozzle shut off almost immediately when gas backed up in filler tube. Kept trying and could only get nozzle to run for a second or so each time. It...

1994 F150; 4.9L; E4OD automatic... I am hoping to buy a farm tractor soon and want to know your experience in towing such a fairly heavy load on a 16' trailer behind my truck. No trailer hitch yet, just the hole in the bumper which I assume is not adequate. Tractor may be something like a Ford...

1994; 144k; automatic; 6 cyl. On the outside back wall of my cab facing the front wall of the bed is a black plastic rectangular something. Can't see enough of it to tell what it does and have not taken off the inside cab liner to take a look so am wondering if any of you know what this device...

1994; 6 cyl.; auto; 147k miles... I take my father in law to the grocery store and doctors office in my truck and he has asked if I can install a grab bar inside the cab over the door to help him get in and out. The headliner in my cab is fabric wrapped and not stout enough to have someone...

Yes, I suspect a bad connection because, when I bought the truck, the seller said it had sat up for a 'long' time (don't know how long) and I suspect corrosion at connections may be the culprit. Thanks for the info on the wiring. I will get under there and disconnect and reconnect what...

E40D follow up1994; 144k miles; 6 cyl; automatic... a follow up to my question about 'slipping' transmission... took the truck in to the shop that rebuilt the transmission (old world shop, been in business for years and rebuilt 3 other transmissions for me) and they suspected solenoids so...

1994 F150; 6 cyl; automatic; 143k miles... I use my truck without a heavy load in the back most of the time and drive in town and on the road. Occasionally load it up with a half ton + of lumber, wood, gravel, etc. but not often. On a daily basis should I have the Overdrive on or off? What's the...

1994 F150; 6 cyl; automatic; 144k miles.... Left home this morning in 80 degree weather and the E4OD automatic transmission seemed to be slipping in D until the truck warmed up. Cranked fine but revved high with little forward motion when I gave it the gas in Drive. Once up to normal operating...

Power steering woesI'd say the power steering is pretty stiff for the first turn, not at just a dead spot. However it breaks free and acts normally after a very short while, maybe just a single turn. I like the idea of the fluid being old because the truck sat up for a long time before I...

1994 f150; 6 cyl; automatic; 140k miles: lately in the cold weather, my power steering is extremely stiff and steering wheel is very hard to turn for just a short distance. No belt squeaking and PS fluid level is correct. Serpentine belt is fairly new but broken in and I have a fairly new...

Thanks to everyone for the information. I'll just leave it in overdrive all the time since I don't tow anything. However, how about when I have a load on the truck? Take it out of OD? Just took 1600 pounds to the dump and it did fine so far as I can tell with OD engaged. Yes, overloaded, I know.
