    Temperature gauge erratic

    1995 f150 5.8 263kHey guys! My temp gauge started doing something weird: started up normal and went mid until thermostat opened and then decreased and was steady on the “O” like it usually does but while driving it would randomly go super low and then back to “O” repeatedly. So I’m thinking...

    Weak cylinder/injector #7

    1995 f150 5.8 262kSo I just replaced the distributor for a random stall issue, which seems fixed, and now I’m getting a code for weak injector #7 from the cylinder balance test. It only failed the first test and passed the second. I know this isn’t the best way to truly test the...

    Stalls while driving and then hard crank no start

    1995 f150 5.8LTwice today my truck shut off while driving at ~40mph within 20 mins of driving (to then from work). It then had a strong crank no start for 10-15 mins until it finally started. No bucking or indications of impending stall. The second stall I gave it more gas and it came back to...

    Water pump and timing chain cover

    1995 f150 5.8L 259kHey guys! I bite the bullet and started tearing things apart to get to the timing chain cover gasket coolant leak I have had for a while.

    Failing alternator

    1995 F150 5.8 258kHey guys! After 25 years, my alternator has had enough! Battery is sitting at 12.8V but drops to 11.8V with engine on and even further to 11.3V under load, so I’m thinking bad diode?Wondering where is the best place to get reliable alternators? I’ve heard autozone’s...

    Timing Chain Cover Gasket

    1995 F150 5.8L 256kHey guys! I have a leaking timing chain cover gasket. I bought all the gaskets and seals but I know it will take me a good amount of time to fix it and I just can’t have my truck down right now as it’s my daily driver. I plan on testing my oil and if there’s no signs of...

    Seriously with this headlight knob!

    1995 f150The rock auto headlight knob doesn’t snap in, it just loosely pulls out again. It seems to be manufactured slightly different, but it definitely won’t work for my truck. Stealership wants 70 bucks!! I really don’t want to pay that but I just got a new bezel and want the truck to look...

    Squeak in Drive, not reverse

    1995 f150 5.8 255kI have a pretty good cyclic squeak, only when I drive forward, nothing in reverse. I think it might be u joints or carrier bearing? I already took off passenger side drum brake to make sure the shoes weren’t stuck, but I really think it’s coming from the driveshaft, about...

    VSS and Limp mode

    1995 f150 5.8 259kTwice now my tranny has gone into limp mode with OD flashing, code 452. Back in 1/2017 I had a similar issue but without this code and my speedo and odometer would blank out and tranny would go into limp mode. In the end I replaced the speed sensor before having to replace...

    AC clutch

    1995 f150 5.8 259kMy AC clutch won’t engage, with a gauge connected it is reading about 35-40psi. I read online that clutch could not be engaging bc minimum is 45 psi. Since the clutch isn’t engaging, I’m hesitant to pump it up that high. The green filled zone only goes to 50psi. Should I just...

    Starter stats engaged

    1995 f150 5.8 257kSo I just replaced the water pump and some hoses, went to fire her up and the starter is now staying engaged. It eventually disengaged, but I'm wondering what causes this? The starter relay was replaced a few years ago along with the battery cables. Any checks I could run?

    Aaaaand we're back to EGR issues

    1995 f150 5.8 253k CA emissionsCEL for insufficient flow. The whole EGR system is rather new except for the vacuum lines. I've explored a lot with this system and have ran the troubleshooting steps numerous times. Usually I can just suck the valve open and the engine starts to stall and then...

    AC clutch no spin

    1995 f150 5.8 251kSo initially my clutch would spin then stop and spin then stop when I ran the AC. Now the clutch doesn't spin at all. I read this could be caused by very low freon and to just start to fill it up and see if the clutch engages?? Not the safest but I'm willing to try, I just...

    Insufficient EGR Flow

    95 F150 5.8L 249kCEL comes on after driving a little around 30mph. Truck runs a little rough and pings under load. I replaced the EGR valve less than 8k ago and took the throttle body off and cleaned it. Where is the likely culprit? Vacuum leak? Intake manifold?
