I replaced the drivers side seal today. The factory seal was pretty ratty but here is a picture:Surprisingly, the factory seal looked more like the Fairchild part, but the proof is in the pudding: the DC part fits better and doesn't hinder the door closing. I'm calling it a win and washing my...

So after almost a month, the door still had to be beaten into submission. I replaced the seal today with the Dennis Carpenter part and it closes perfectly. So, for my part, I say save yourself the time, money and headache and go straight to DC for door seals...The bulk of the wind noise has...

Agreed. The original that I pulled was already gone or I'd have included it in the pictures. When I get the other pulled if I remember I'll get a picture of it in here for posterity. There isn't a huge difference in the feel of the rubber seal, but the difference in the molding that mounts on...

The Dennis Carpenter seals arrived today. I won't have time to deal with them before going out of town tomorrow, but by the time I get back the Fairchild seal on the passenger side will have been in place for about 3 weeks and I'll know what I'm dealing with there. I've been hitting it with the...

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, the Fairchild brand seemed highly regarded, but... 🤷🏻‍♂️I had not thought of eBay for this. I've found interior trim pieces and hardware and other niche items but didn't think of trying to track down OEM that way.In the meantime I have already ordered a set from...

Thanks for the reply. The body lines are just right, so I wanted to avoid latch adjustment. The plastic bushing is intact. I will bide my time. Holding off on the drivers side, I don't really want to be stuck not being able to close that door from the inside...

Hello all,Today I replaced the weather seal for the passenger side door of my 1993 F-150, and while everything fit really well going together, the door is now very difficult to close. I can get the first latch by closing it normally, but getting it to latch fully requires giving it a firm CPR...

Following up for posterity: I recently came out of the county permitting office only to see the Ford hemorrhaging fluid on the ground from the engine compartment. Popped the hood and found fuel dumping out of the tank vent line! I was heading out of town so I left it with the mechanics who found...

That was my first thought: if one of the fuel pump check valves leaks and a tank overfills, will I bring straight gasoline back through there? If I did, it would probably be better in the intake than the engine bay I suppose...

Hi all,I've recently purchased a '93 F-150 5.0L and I noticed that the charcoal canister is disconnected. The larger diameter hose going to the solenoid is plugged, the smaller diameter hose going back to the tanks is wide open. My question is: is this a problem? At the very least it seems a...

Roger that, I'll put it in and see how it does. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight! The valve I got is metal, in your experience should I install this valve or should I be hunting for a metal Motorcraft valve?

Hello all,I've just purchased a 1993 F-150 5.0L and as part of an initial barrage of catching her up on routine maintenance and tune up stuff I want to replace the PCV valve. Mine is configured with the PCV tying straight in to the upper intake manifold. I got a Standard Motor Products valve...

Thanks! I agree, I plan to keep her as "stock" as I can manage while still getting her back in shape.

Hello all,New member here, having just purchased this lovely 1993 F-150 2WD 5.0L. She is in generally good condition, 110k miles with two owners (one of which only had it for a year after the original owner died). All the same she is in need of some TLC and I'm sure I'll be coming round here...
