Hi guys,My 1994 has a chronic misfire. It's fouled 2 plugs (same cylinder, only it's done it twice.) It's cylinder 4 (passenger back).The motor has about 5k miles on it since I rebuilt it a few years ago. I replaced the distributor cap, distributor rotor, spark plug wires, and ignition...

Starting a thread here to review these "Speed Daddy" Headers that you can buy on ebay. Here's the listing (who knows how long the URL will be accurate, sorry if it expires someday).http://www.ebay.com/itm/190660419153?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITSo they're made...
Hi guys,1994 F150, all the accessories on it are still pretty stock, just FYI. I'm pretty sure I'm fighting a vacuum leak and it's resulting in a high idle and poor fuel mileage.I think O'Reilly's sells a little pack of various sized rubber vacuum port boots to seal things off for...
Hi all,It's been a while since Brian was active on FTF, but he had a lot of friends here. I wanted to share that he has passed on to our Lord as of yesterday, April 12. He always struggled with his health and dialysis, and if I understand correctly he had a failed transplant. He was known...
Hey,Does anyone know about sunroofs or anything specific about this issue? It will do the "Tilt" feature and go up. But it won't roll back on the track. If you hit the "Slide" button to move it back, you get a click and silence follows.Is this thing off the track or is a motor burned up...
Wow! I can't write an exhaustive review, but this car rocks.3.5L v6
3.16 gear ratio
6 speed auto
SEL Trim
19" wheels
sunroof, leather, sync, 390w sony 12-speaker stereo, interior ambient lightingIt's pretty loaded, only missing AWD, touch screen, and the ecoboost really.Ryan
Hi Gents,Tell me about your experience with vehicles you bought that had a "rebuilt" title. Anything from hail damage to major collisions. Was it worth the discounted price, or did it give you years of headaches?I'd love to hear your experience.Ryan
So guys, from the Ford Tech side, what do you have to say about the 2010+ Taurus models? We're not looking at the SHO models, but are there pain points? What wears out? What kind of quirks are there that show up regularly?Would you consider this a well engineered vehicle?Do you see any...
My lovely wife was driving the old 1994 F150 to work today. She was approaching an accident, and an officer stepped out slightly instructing her to stop, so she complied.Then out of nowhere, CRUNCH. The person behind her did not yeild.Anyway, the 1994 has a small bend in the bumper (it...
Hello Members & Friends,Scott, Brad, and I have decided that it is time for us to transition Ford Truck Fanatics to Duncan, Randy, and Roger. It is time for several reasons. The site deserves more engaged Administrators and Owners that will bring renewed vigor and ideas for updates and...
So I want to make sure all my wiring is pretty much identical since I moved to the MAF computer.I went from a computer that was a 1994 F150 Speed Density 2wd 5.8L E4OD to a 1995 F150 2wd 5.0L E4OD Mass Air Flow.Do you have access to ECU pin out diagrams so I can make sure all my transmission...
Hey guys,If you read my posts (God bless your patience) then you might already know I've been fighting a harsh shifting transmission for about 5 years. The transmission even was freshly rebuilt and it's still out of control. I've thrown speed sensors (VSS), throttle position sensors, fluid...
So for the guys that haven't been following my obnoxiously long thread about the 351w. It's been a couple years and several hundred posts, so this thread is for the guys looking for the "Cliffnotes" version.I pulled my 351w, had the transmission rebuilt (look, I'm not a magician, okay?), and...
So the question is in the subject line.How do I empty the fuel tank in the 1994 F150? I have not yet reattached the fuel lines to the truck. Can I get a large bucket and just aim the ends of those lines into a bucket? If I leave the key in the 'run' position, will the fuel pump continue to...
Hey guys with a 351/302 with similar smog equipment!There's some kind of hose hookup that goes out the bottom of this pump. Can you check your truck and see where the dang thing routes to?Ryan
So I have a question. I don't even know what this equipment is called, and this is the closest thing I could find on the internet regarding my problem:http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/5-0l-tech/209645-gt40-not-p-head-smog-issue.htmlSo here is the piece in question (top left, bar...
Hey guys, tell me what you know about break in oil!At O'Reilly's they were carrying a Lucas brand break in oil, advertised as being used for racing applications (flat tappet cams) and it was $18 per pint.Should I use break in oil? The engine is a stock bottom end 351w, and the valvetrain is...
I'm placing a bounty for anyone who can find an under-engine wiring harness for a MAF F-series pickup 1994-1997 that has cruise control! $75 to anyone who spots one in a junkyard and ships it to me.If you spot one, let me know and we can work out the details. I do not need the harness that...
I just made the biggest, most expensive mistake of my amateur car career.My 1994 is without a motor, and I rebuilt one about a year ago. I was finally ready to commit to installing the motor back in today, and I even recruited help. My friend arrived and I was ready to push the truck back...
Check this baby out...http://mattford.com/NewFordCars/2012_Ford_F-150_Buckner_1FTFW1CFXCFC41029.aspxBecause it's brand new and they want to get a 2012 off the lot REALLY badly, the price on this Lariat is REALLY good.Ryan
Hey guys in the area.... Erica & I, plus a couple of her girl friends are going to Bristol Motor Speedway for the August 25th NIGHT RACE!Long story short, Erica made some cupcakes for a party where a guest was a family member of the Speedway's owner. The owner managed to invite Erica & her...
Hey guys, I was too filthy to take any pictures, but I did take one for reference.This was on the 2005 Ford F150 FX4 4x4, but from my research I believe this to be true for XL, XLT, FX4, Lariat, King Ranch, whatever. The parts are all the same for 2004-2008, and the procedure should be...
Does anyone have any opinions or experience on these two tires? I have had a great experience with the original Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo but they are about $30 more per tire than the General Grabber (which has similar reviews). I'm a little more interested in any experiences people have had...
I'm no rocket surgeon, I don't even know what this is called.It's where the main crank pulley attaches to... well... the crank.I'm trying to get the timing cover off and I don't know how to get this sucker off. Yes, I pulled the main bolt in the center.Ryan
So I thought I'd start a thread about this. I've never pulled or rebuilt a motor, and it's the first time I've had a place where I can take my time and not be in anyone's way (except the wonderful wife who is tolerating my mess).I've been taking pictures to help aid my memory, so this is...
