im a little confused as to why they would tell me that i have to pull trans if all i really have to do is raise motor four inches give or take. i still dont know about doing it without raising motor,dont get me wrong im not saying it cant be done but it does look a little cramped in there. if i...

i went ahead and called like 10 shops to kinda see what it would take to do the job and 9 out of the 10 mechanics said in order to do the oil pan gasket on my truck they would have to pull the tranny?, and would go ahead and replace the rear main while they were in there. i myself have never...

does it (the pan) slide out fairly easy once the exhaust is out of the way and motors up?

ok well ill try to slip it in first and worse case scenario i have to go all the way(thats what she said)lol. sounds like a pain in the @ss

are there any gaskets on the upper intake?

Will i need to drop my exhaust to do my oil pan gasket, and will i have to raise my motor? 88 F150 2wd 351 auto

i have a 71 f100. the rear springs are sprung and in need of replacement but i dont have the mony to buy new. i was thinking about finding a truck bed trailer but im not sure of what years of trailer to look for to find some springs i can use. the ones on my truck are the 56 long and 2 1/4 wide...

thats why they charge so much

ill tell you what they told me. If you have the capability of pulling the tranny and trailering the truck to the shop to have them do the seal it wont hardly cost any thing. other wise the rear main on my 88 f150 2x was going to cost me about $550 and i didnt want to pay that

could that explain the smoke coming out of the vent of the valve cover

easy to get to? could that modulator effect transmission performance

71 F100 360, i noticed it started to collect tranny fluid on the intake, back passenger side. there is a line that looks like it comes from the tranny and is stuck on a little square box that is on the intake right behind the carberator. is there a gasket or something under that little square or...

the check engine light isnt coming on but i guess i could still try. im thinking it still could have bad gas in it but im not shure. i drained the tanks with the pumps, just unhooked the lines, and put in some high octane with some heat and changed the fuel filter again. it straitened up a...

it runs good at a higher idle but when i let off the gas it chokes and coughs and sputters and then it start to act like its going to die

it ran great for a little while after the tune up but it has a hesitation when i get on the gas could i need another fuel filter

new problemi replaced the pcv valve and the L shaped hose that goes to the valve cover, it seemed to take care of it, thanks. but we cant stop here, i have another problem. i gave it a tune up, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change. i have a miss and rough idle that will not go away. it has a...

88 F150 Efi351

it seemed like it was coming out of the actual valve. i disconnected the L shaped hose and oil came out of it to. not puring out but enough to run down the valve cover onto the manifold

i thought my valve cover was leaking until i looked closer and it was coming out from around the pcv valve

i dont know what it was with the gas can but i got the truck to the gas station and had no problem putting gas in it

so its not just me who has had a problem

could there be a anti siphon flap thing in there that would move under the pressure of pump gas but may not move when using a gas can?

could there maybe, by some strange chance be a screen to block particles from entering the tank that just happened to get clogged up now

there shouldnt be anything wrong with it i just filled up a week ago

my 88 f150 recently ran out of gas i went to put gas in it with a gas can and it wasnt going into the tank like it should. its it was just filling up the filler tube until it overflowed, i waited a couple of seconds and it was like it burped itself and the gas in the filler neck slowly went...

it was the 88 that had the ebrake problem not the 71. when i went to the parts store to get my ebrake cable for the 71 they just asked me to choose between a steel cable and a sturdy plastic looking one. but they had both in stock for both trucks. no problem findin them thanks though,and thank...

i finally got my ebrake unstucki pulled the wheel off and took a 2x2 between the lugs and mini sledge and worked on it back and forth and it finally came unstuck, i got lucky

it started overheating before and nothing has changed. it hasent got better or worse

ill try it thanks

the truck has been sitting for a couple of years with the ebrake on and now its stuck how can i get it un-stuck
