    Passing of Ernie Knoellinger

    Sorry for the delayed post, Jen.I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of him. He was a friend, and I've been praying for his speedy journey to the Lord. I'm also praying for you guys and your healing. I'll miss him.Ryan

    A gal on my team here at work is from Marshalltown. She said their downtown area got bulldozed back home.Ryan

    Very hard idle help!!!

    It's the original Ford OBD, so it's not a standard OBD2 scanning plug.You can buy a specific purposed one for Ford for under $40. Or like mentioned above, buy the plug online and get the phone scanning app. I'd check first to see if the computer can give you any hints.Ryan

    Best years, worst years in Ford Trucks to buy

    For 5 grand, I'd find the nicest V8 that you can find. If you're okay with a regular cab, the quality of truck you can purchase will go up significantly. They don't hold their value like a 4 door, which apparently is made of gold and then plated with gold. They simply don't depreciate like a...

    Thinking of buying, any opinions on $ or....

    If you're not looking for a winter war wagon to get through 3 feet of snow, a 2wd might actually be better.Ryan

    New Used DD

    They can be.... but if you want a base model truck, you can get the same "workness" out of it. Probably even better.Buuuuuttt if you want a King Ranch with 6 doors and a 2 foot bed, I'm sure that will come out soon.Ryan

    New Used DD

    Yes, I don't think the 5.5' bed existed until the modern trucks, circa 1997-2003 generation.Ryan

    New Used DD

    That's exactly how my red truck was configured. It's a good ride.I got a new-used daily driver too. Found a 2006 F150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with only 109k miles on it. It has a few quirks because it sat parked for a couple years, but I'm ironing them out as time permits.Ryan

    E4OD issues

    Yeah my 94 has a VSS on the rear differential only, but my memory is that the 92 has one on the transmission (not sure if it has both, or just the transmission one).The VSS along with the TPS provide crucial data to the computer. Additionally make sure the wires are in good condition feeding...

    E4OD issues

    Hop under the truck, on the passenger side of the transmission housing, near the exhaust pipe.You'll see a wiring harness that plugs into the transmission, that controls the solenoid pack. What are the condition of the wires? Often they fray and get exposed to water and heat. You can...
