I'm an avid Ford guy, but notice one thing I don't like on the F series
trucks; pre 1998.
I noticed Ford just has a "switch" for a sensor, which swings the panel
meter over the the "normal" area; rather a cheapo way and useless for

I own a 1995 Ranger, 3 liter 6, automatic transmission, extended cab.  I
have an intermittent starting problem.  In warm weather, after driving
between 10 and 30 minutes, and then parking between 30 and 90 minutes I
sometimes have trouble starting my truck.  It turns over fine, and ...

 I recently put a low compression engine in my '69 work truck and will
need to re-curve the timing to provide more advance.It seems to want
more initial advance too but how much?
Is there a method for determining correct base timing?Believe it or

I have an 89 f250 with 302 fuel injected. For some strange reason (stupidity
on my part probably) I cant find the oil pressure sending unit can anyone
help me out with the location of this
thanks

 Hi,I just bought a set of B.F.Goodrich "Commercial T/A All Season"
tires at Costco.I just couldn't coax the extra $300 out of my wallet to
get the Michelins.
 I've noticed that the tires lock-up pretty easily when braking and

I got a 1990 ford f 250 3/4 ton truck w/aod tranny.  turning 245-80-16
tires.  I don't know what the stock rear axle ratio is. I wanted to
swap the gears out in order to get a little better gas mileage.
Any one who might be able to tell me what the rear ratio is and maybe

I just discovered something interesting on my 250. The climate control knob,
where you select either max a/c, a/c, vent, off, floor/vent, floor, or
defog, has a really cool twist.
When I select the vent/floor setting, and have the dial set to the coldest

I recently got a 2000 F-550 and started doing some maintenance. The
other night I wanted to drain the water/fuel separator, but I could
not find the drain valve. There are a couple of vague drawings in the
manuals of where it is supposed to be, but for the life of me I could

The far green light of my trailer brake indicator is on all the time.  I
have an F250 club cab diesel.   Is this by design or was it hooked up
improperly.  Can it drain the batteries or is it inconsequential?
Thanks,

I believe I got some water-contaminated fuel at my last fillup. When the fuel
level got down to about 1/3 tank (38 gal tank), the warning light came on and
the engine died a short time later. I drained the filter, the light went out,
and the engine started. But the same thing ...

I just purchased a new F-350 crew cab, short bed, 4x4 , with the 6.0 Diesel
and 5 speed automatic transmission...
I really like the truck and I will use it to pull a 34', 12,000lb, fifth
wheel travel trailer...

What sort of mileage does the current or recent F-150 6 Cylinder get on the
road?
Thanks!

I have never seen this before. My '90 ranger 2.3L takes forever to get warm
enough to blow heat. I generally have to drive about 4 miles before the air
gets warm. All of my other cars are getting warm in the first mile. Anyway,
once it is warm, the temp gauge never makes it to the ...
