I am selling my '94 F150 XLT because I no longer need it.
The truck is in "Excellent condition", all stock except the radio (new Sony CD HU). Rides smoothly and quietly has lots of power.
RWD, 5.0 in top shape, 4R70W transmission, Extended Cab, good tires great interior. 80+K miles, Cruise...
This might sound stupid, but you might want to check the battery cables. If they are corroded somewhere or the ground is not good, that could cause your battery to "appear" dead or even prevent it from charging properly...Just saying...
I've seen it before like that, but never seen the battery go apparently completely dead, or as in this case, the connection going completely open....I will say that after I cleaned and replaced the battery connectors, I noticed that the alternator was charging a little higher than it normally...
Update:I went out and tried jump starting from my Corvette by connecting the jumper cables from the battery cable terminals of the truck to the Corvette.. Nothing!
I finally thought that I would connect the negative from the Corvette to the actual frame of the truck: Voila! it started.The...
I went in my truck today and when I tried to start it, nothing happens. No lights, no radio, nothing at all. I opened the hood and looked at the battery and it's fine. I played with the connection to my alarm and it made a spark and everything.When I got back in the truck and turned the...
Actually, it was the SEMA which conducted the test. Of course, they have a vested interest in the sale of accessories, after-market stuff, etc. Still, here is what they found with the 2005 F150 with 6'-5" bed. It's not a 9th gen like mine but anyway:We then tested the 2005 F-150 with the 6...
Thanks Austin :). BTW, the mythbuster guys are Ok and all, but their methods of proving or disproving things are always a little... strange? Pretty amusing and all but not very scientific. They are more like you & me just going out there and doing little experiments LOL! They might be right but...
Yes, it does fold up to access the bed. However, they warn you against driving with it partially open....Actually, at least one bed cover manufacturer did some wind tunnel tests with various trucks with and without covers. They also performed some fuel consumption tests.
Although the results...
Fedex dropped it off yesterday. I was completely excited about.The bad:
There was some sort of blue ink or paste on the corner of the box. That crap got all over my hands and my shirt. Did not notice until I was smeared with the blue crap. It even got on my newly spray-lined tailgate :mad...
Thanks, I hope it will work well. I did read of a complaint about it not sealing well in some one's F150, although it's not a 9th gen.... I'm pretty excited about it although it was a chunk of change.
OK, I guess I'm going over the edge spending $$ on my truck. First it was the sprayed on liner, and now it's the Trifecta floding cover... I guess I rationalized but it did kind of made sense. I needed to protect my stuff from rain and curious eyes while I travel (planning a trip to the 4 corner...
I read in one of these forums how another guy cleaned his carpet. He apparently removed the old carpet and pressure washed it at the car wash. Then he let it dry and air out and put it back in. Apparently it worked great. Saved him some $$ too. Of course, I'd treat the mold issue and take care...
