Not sure what you're calling the hub, but if you're spinning it with the caliper off, then I'll assume it's the front rotor assembly. Are you meaning that it spins only 3 revs with the wheel ON? The ONLY reason that should be stiff to turn is that someone put too much pre-load on the wheel...

I reset the battery monitor, but the nuisance came right back. I'd rather just disable it. Kinda silly for a battery saver to turn off the stereo and leave the headlights on in my book, knowing what I know about how much the stereo draws versus the headlights. I have noticed that it's worse...

BTW, I just looked at the bump-side photos. Good lookin old bump. I got my DL in a "new" '73 that was a teal blue. 302 with 3 on the tree. Geared like a tractor and would pull the gates off Hell.

Oops. Guess I've been gone too long. Showed up as a new post for me, LOL.

On one that old, it could well be a stretched timing belt(s). I have a '92 that runs perfectly under any condition other than light load. Pretty sure it needs a new timing chain at 180K miles. Got a light sputter at idle, and if I put a timing light on it, the timing's all over the place...

Update on the Battery Saver problem, well, sort of. It's BAAAACK! Has been since about May/June this year. I've just been absent for a while because of rotator cuff surgeries and then building a new shop because my employer won't let me come back to work.I purchased the truck from Fleet in...

The shortest answer is to take the alternator off the truck and take it to your friendly neighborhood parts house and get it tested. Then you're standing in front of the counter when they tell you it's shot. If the battery is staying charged, I wouldn't worry too much about a dip in voltage at...

Amkatt1,Did your shorties have the 3 bolt flange, or were they configured with the spherical ends and clamps like the original manifolds? I've got Ford Racing shorties on my 5.0, and want something very similar to what you have, but I'm leaning more toward a set of the Patriot side pipes, or...

One of those "whodathunkits". What the hell does the key have to do with the battery monitor? I wouldn't think that it could possibly matter which key was being used to drive the truck, but the suggestion to try the spare key was spot on. I understand the coded key for MyKey functions, etc...

Well now I AM confused. I learned the hard way not to manually unlock the door with the key, despite the door having a key hole on it. Apparently SYNC doesn't care if it was a slim jim that operated the lock or a mechanical key operation. SYNC didn't do it, so it gets hostile. If you do...

Battery is PLENTY hot to crank the truck, but when I shut the ignition off, the accessory delay timer is overridden by the battery monitor and SYNC displays a message that warns me to turn off the ignition (after I'm holding the key in my hand) or start the engine. One would think that the key...

Been gone a while, but recently got a new company truck. It's BIG. It's RED. It's a FORD!2014 F-150 Super Crew Cab, 6 foot bed, 4x4, 5.0, 6 speed SelectShift.Did I mention it was RED?

Try Helms. Got EXACTLY what you want from them. I bought the 1992 Bronco/F150-F350/F-Super Duty EVTM. Good price and EXACTLY the same manual available to Ford Technicians at dealerships. Here's the link...

WB Tom. LTNS. If you have broken/mangled/split vacuum lines, chances are, that IS your hesitation problem, particularly under light to moderate throttle. A hesitation on acceleration is almost assuredly a lean-miss indication. That said, if it gets bad enough, the EEC should throw a code...

Umm, if a new one comes with venturi and all, why not just put the whole thing in? Call me kooky, but that looks like the easiest option.
