1992 F-150 4x4, 5L manual trans. 140k miles. Lately it seems that whenever there's high humidity with rain/snow the truck doesn't want to start. The temperature itself doesn't seem to be the issue; as long as the air is dry the truck starts fine. The truck cranks fine, but

Does anyone have experience using a child car seat in the back bench seat of an F-150 extended cab (particularly a '94). Mind you, not crew cab. I don't have the full seating to work with. Is it safe? Is it unsafe? Is it a really bad idea to try it? I am completely new at this ...

| Mazda truck code sensor question | 16 Jan 2006 23:50 GMT | 1 |
I'm an old shade-tree mechanic -- my specialty is VW Beetles, the real Beetle, not these new wannabe Beetles with water-cooled engines up front. My experience with code sensors is zero. As I understand it, newer vehicles have sensors all over the place that send

Recall just barely out of date just cost me 700.00 thanks Ford. O-ring intake seal was supposed to be fixed free if I had gotten it in 10,000 miles ago. The fact I bought it used had no bearing.

I had a 1988 460 with a C-6 that loved gas almost as much as it loved exhaust manifolds! Are the newer 460s with fuel injection any better? What about the V-10? I've heard of problems with wrist pins, warped heads, spark coils, etc. but they are supposed to get better fuel ...

A couple of months ago, I called the dealer about the final fix for the 2000 model F-150 cruise control switch. He stated a fix was not out yet for the 150 and I would be notified. It has been a long time, has anyone heard anything or had the final fix completed? Or has Ford ...

My (recently purchased) 1989 F250 Diesel frequently "buzzes" when I try to start it. Sometimes it just turns over and fires up as normal, but at other times it makes this loud buzzing noise over and over again without starting up.
