So I drove her today about 4 hrs round trip, thinking how nice it will be with the new shocks...alllllll happy...:headbang...
Tires for the 94-150
In doing a search here Michelin seemed to come up as the most often mentioned as the best. So I'm looking atMichelin LTX MS2Thoughts? Is Tire Rack the only place to get them??Thanks guys!
Flew out yesterday long before dawn, did errand and drove back without radio (have since fixed that problem). Long drive and with a little 3.0...eh~ Jury is still out.Spent the day doing self imposed "honey do" items and then got to play with her. Went through the inside wiping, cleaning and...
94 F150, 5.8. Truck is not additionally lifted, meaning stock. Has the 4 wheel drive option. Used for occasional driving and hauling dogs to lake. Will be used for bringing in wood and trips to Lowes.Do I need the Bilstein 4600 or 5100'sIf I spend the money, I'd rather get what I "might"...
Came off the beast when I put the canopy on.Both side rails and cap that goes across the cab end. I do not have the tailgate cap.Since these are long, shipping might be cost prohibitive, but thought I'd put it out there just in case. $55 for all three, in good shape with a slight bend on...
After driving the little Ranger last week, I've come to appreciate the 150 alot more! This is a biggie as I've resented all the problems it had.Drove it yesterday and loved it, but realized I need new shocks. After searching this forum came up with Bilsteins as the recommended way to go.Then...
Found the title but not the keys so I can't check mileage. Was hoping someone here could direct me to service records...might be able to match mileage with dates that way?Car has been parked in garage for years, best guess at least 8. (it's white btw)Tow driver (when picking up my Ranger)...
Filled up both tanks yesterday, was feeling pretty good about the truck. Drove yesterday and again today, didn't notice anything till late tonight.Walked past the drivers side rear tire and could smell gas. Not alot but enough (don't smoke, pretty good nose)So....
do I just crawl under there...
Not sure if this is in the right place..My truck has developed a lovely "chirping" sound that I've narrowed down to the belt. When the engine was replaced, the old belt was reused as it doesn't look bad at all. But it's loose, lot of play if I push it up and down, like 2" of give.So I'm...
Someone who has the interest or "love" of these old trucks. Got the truck back yesterday and it seems to run ok but I do wish one of you lived closer.Mechanic claims he had to go thru several aftermarket parts that I can't remember what they are but they fit on the "spindle". Seems when he...
I'm "supposed" to get the truck back this week and would like to start shopping around for a canopy. Have seen both metal and fiberglass ones on craigslist but am clueless as to which is better.If anyone has thoughts, installation help, what to look for, what to avoid, I would love to read...
Ok, everyone knows the trouble I've had with my truck, of which I still don't have possession of. Second mechanic is having problems. He's good, has worked on several F150's etc. But he too is frustrated and down right pissed at this truck.Went to replace upper ball joints, got drivers side in...
For those of you not following along with this mini-series, please do a search of my posts.For the rest of the class.....(where is that head banging smilie....)?Rookie mechanic couldn't get the replacement engine back in correctly, kept asking for more time, more time. Last Thurs I finally...
Supposedly it only had 138K miles on it but, like previous posts, had issues. My question is, if there is not a core return, would it be wise for me to keep this engine.I'm thinking this truck sat longer than a year. Therefore seals, gaskets etc have lost their effectiveness. Having that...
:headbang:Latest and not so greatest......*sigh*My "free" engine....yeah right. Like you guys didn't see this coming eh?Per previous threads, I asked to have new gaskets installed. Replacement engine...new gaskets. Made sense to me.So, they're charging me for the labor to install these...
Hi guys....I've used the search function but haven't seen this particular style of center console. Frankly, I think it's butt ugly and really didn't want to reinstall the center seat. Tell me is extremely rare and worth a mint...*laughs*edited to add: it's not plastic, but solid oak.From...
Online place to buy parts?Tore the inside apart today. Took out passenger seat, middle seat and bench back seats. The carpeting is skanky....bad. Rust on all the bolts and I'm seeing a bit of mold. I do have a good carpet guy, but with the rust spots would it be better to buy new preformed...
Yes, I know..buyer beware. This is why I took a mechanic to look over a 1994 F150 4x4 I wanted to purchase.This mechanic looked at, what I thought, everything. Told me what he thought it would cost to bring it up to snuff etc. I purchased the truck, mechanic drove it 50+ miles back to town for...
