Can anybody tell me what the rear Axle ration is on my truck?  I'm trying to
figure out what my tow rating is so if you happen to know that as well....

F-150

I have a 97 F-150 with 120,000 miles on it.  I just got new tires for it
(it's third set), but I've still got the original spare, which probably has
less then 1000 miles on it.  The problem is that the spare has some
indentations on the side wall from resting up against the frame ...

Can anyone tell me where the oil pressure sending unit is on the 4.6L?  My
Chilton's manual just says to locate and remove it.  Locating it is the
problem.  There are no directions, diagrams or pictures.  I've looked around
on the net but I can't find any there either.

My '86 F-150 is welding shut starter solenoids, and nothing seems to cure
the problem.  I have replaced both battery cables, the starter, tried three
different makes of solenoids, cleaned out the steering column and lubed the
key tumbler linkage, removed and tested the ignition ...

I have a couple questions. First let me explain I do not have a vast
knowledge of motors but have trouble finding someone to work on my motorhome
so I?m forced to learn and try to do things myself.
I have a motorhome that has a 1988 Ford big block 460, 7.5L carbureted

Has anyone seen official specifications of the 2000 F-550 that
contains GCWR? I have seen such a document for the 2001 model, showing
a GCWR of 26,000 lb. The specifications page for the 2000 model at
this address does not mention GCWR:

I have a 92 Ranger that I don't drive very often but when I drove it the
other day I noticed that hot air blew from the vents. It was hot outside,
about 90 degrees, but the air blowing from the vents was as hot or hotter
than the outside air. Is this happening because the air is ...

I have decided to keep my '94 F15 4x4. But I do use it to tow a 6000# trailer,
and it's a little anemic for that. I'd be fine with 30-50 more HP, but I don't
need to lose fuel mileage.  Sounds like a good recipe for a turbo kit.  Ayone
done this that can share experience?  Good ...

I haven't seen this as a bug yet, and the circumstances are somewhat
grey, so I thought it best to ask about this.
I took the Ranger in for service, and it was the 60 000 km more
expensive scheduled maintenance.  About 3 days after the service, I'm

Does anyone know how to remove the air lines that come off of the
dryer on the air suspension compressor?  Is there some type of special
tool required or is there another way to get them out?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've owned my 1994 F-150 since new, and live in California with our biannual
smog inspection.
Two years ago I took my truck (4.9L 6-cylinder 300hp) to a small one-man
shop to be smogged. Everything passed, except he couldn't verify the timing

I have  a  97 Ff150 with a  4.2 engine, the check  engine  light  came
on  with  a  code  of  171 and  174,  I  changed the  o2  sensors  on
both  sides,  the  light  came  back  on  after  about  20  miles,  I
changed  the  fuel  filter,  the  light  came   back  on  after  about

i hope some one can point me in the direction of locating the heater
resistor in my 1992 ford explorer. is it inside or outside under the hood?
the heater on goes off or full speed.
