Just got hired as a light mechanic (oil changes tire rotations, filters, fluids etc.) at a Ford dealership.
Can you recommend which size impact sockets I'll need for all the different Ford lug nuts out there?
I have a 1994 5.0 shortbed. The resonator and cat back broke off the pipes coming from the manifolds. What is left is the 2 - 2inch pipes solidly coming out. The resonator broke off cleanly.
Do you guys know of any "Y" pipe to take the pipes and join them into 1? I've checked Autozone and...
My '94 F150 302 E4OD will drive ok but sometimes at highway speeds around 65 it will start to buck a little.... sort of like if I was letting off the gas and then quickly hitting it again. I don't know if this is the "shudder" that everyone talks about?But if it starts acting up and I switch...
I'm going to do some body work on my '94 shortbed F150 and then paint it International Harvester Red.I've got a gift card to get the paint at tractor supply. I've painted about 10 vehicles using this paint and I like it (for the price!).My question is.......... didn't somebody on this...
When my E4OD, 302, F150 shifts from 1st gear to 2nd the truck clunks real hard. It only happens intermittently. Just started doing it yesterday.Fluid level is good. Been told it could be rear speed sensor, or transmission.Truck shifts at proper times, no vibration in driveline, runs...
My 1994 shortbed f150 with a 302 and E4OD runs ok but when I shift it into reverse it stalls out. anyone have any ideas what it could be? It starts right up and will run fine in forward gears but stalls as soon as I drop it into R.
Just took the truck out to test it out on the highway. Got it up to 90 mph no problems and got back down to highway speed.turned around and did the same thing.....punched it from rolling speed and had it floored til it only went up to around 70 mph and wouldn't go higher. lots of smoke out...
Got my '94 F150 with 302 yesterday. An ex-mechanic buddy of mine was showing me how to clean the MAF sensor and told me to get some MAF sensor cleaner spray from the auto parts store.Do you guys ever clean it, and is this good advice? He seems to know what he's talking about but I wanted...
The truck I'm getting is a '94 Xlt shortbed with a 302 and 4wheel drive. The owner told me it has a limited slip rear end, how to tell? And I see by my Haynes manual it needs friction modifiers added to rearend lube.Also gotta ask.......... How do I shift an automatic locking hub from 2hi to...
I currently have a '94 single cab, 300, longbox, automatic.I'm looking to sell this truck so I can get a '94 single cab, shortbed with a 5.0 and auto.What's your opinion on a 5.0 engine, and what about a shortbed?I've always liked the looks of a shortbed on any old Ford, plus I do very...
I don't see a whole lot of your trucks with visors. I put one on mine and I think it changed the look alot. I took it off for some time and just didn't like it without the visor. And while I'm on the subject of looks.... how about cab marker lights? I like them but don't have any yet. Jim
Just put a pair of 2" coil spacers on the '94 F150 4x4. I really like how the truck looks now---- level. But it has the \ / with the front wheels. What can I do myself to try to adjust this back to normal?I went to autozone for a camber kit and they can't get it in. I've never worked on...
I went to AutoZone to get filter for my '94 E4OD and had a pick of either deep pan or shallow pan. Visually how do I tell the difference? I could wait til I tear it down but that makes it very inconvenient to get to AutoZone with no vehicle. Jim
I'm going to do a transmission fluid and filter change on my 1994 F150 with E4OD.Which fluid do I use? I've seen Mercon available but been reading on here about Mercon lll.My main question is ....do you recommend using Lucas transmission additive?My transmission has 175,000 miles on...
any body put mud flaps or splash guards on their F150? I don't see too many trucks with 'em on nowadays.I'm looking to get a cheapo pair of Ford splash guards (mud flaps) I don't know if there's a difference. Although I like the looks of the straight hangdown flaps like on a tractor...
What bucket seats should I look for at the junk yard to put in my F150? Do all the Ford Cars/trucks/Broncos match up for the bolt holes?Any negatives or problems or drawbacks to going with buckets? Jim
My buddy at work who's been a big help to me is having transmission problems and I'm hoping to get some advice from you guys.........It's a 1994 F-150 with a 300 and an E4OD. Problem is that the shift points are way off. The engine RPMs are really high when it shifts from gear to gear. He...
The other thread got me wanting to relate to you guys about my tailgate.A buddy at work has a 1995 F150 and when he took the aluminum panel off the tailgate, the tailgate had F O R D embossed in the gate. It was indented into the metal.I have a 1994 F150 with a broken panel, so I excitedly...
I just checked my oil today and I had the milky oil on the fill cap. I know this can be the sign of a blown head gasket. BUT..... I drive the truck back and forth to work and up to the store. I drive to work 1 mile. I drive to the store 1 mile. I know this is horrible on an engine, and I'm...
I need to remove the turn signal/marker light/ headlight bezel and lenses to replace broken ones and I need to find out the correct way to remove. This is on a '94 F-150.I'll be going to a picka part junkyard to get new assembly, and was wondering if there's only a few screws to remove or if...
Every vehicle I get I always try to get a 1/25th scale model of it to build. I've customized Jeeps, camaros, chevelles. I discovered that the model company AMT/Ertl made a 9th generation XLT, that is now discontinued. I just ordered one from Ebay. If you do a google search or check out Ebay...
what does a '94 F150 tailgate look like with the big emblem plate removed? Is it flat with a few holes to hold the plate on?Reason I'm asking is my emblem plate is broken and cracked and I'd just like to take it off and put a FORD decal on the tailgate when I go to paint the entire truck...
I've been scouring the 'net and can't find the decals I'd like for the truck. I want to get the plain "FORD" for the windshield, and I'd like the fancy FORD in the oval for my back glass. Jim
on my '95 F150, 300, automatic, that I just got, I've noticed my top radiator hose sucks shut in between the engine and the radiator. I've never seen this before on any vehicle. I've driven it about 80 miles and when I got home I first noticed it, so I opened the radiator cap and the hose went...
I got a '94 longbed, 300, automatic (I assume C6 since it's a 3 speed) on Friday. First Ford and I'm loving it so far. It definitely needs some TLC on the body.Tailgate is excellent, interior is like new, everything works, not alot of rust underneath, runs great, tracks nicely.Now the bad...
I have a truck to possibly get, it's an '85 witha 302 and an auto transmission that the owner says won't shift into overdrive. Should I stay away? I can't work on them myself but I'm wondering if I may be looking at a simple fix or is it gonna be an expensive repair? Jim
I'm going to look at a '95 F150 automatic , 302, longbox. I swore I wouldn't get a V8 or an automatic and now I may get both!What are the pros and cons (hopefully mostly pros) of the truck? Are Ford automatics reliable? What's the reputation of the 302 in a '95? Anything I should be wary...
