I have an 86 that was repainted in the spring of 93 because of bad paint. It
doesn't hurt to try and see if they will still fix it. Ford was only willing
to repaint the effected areas on my truck (hood, top of cab, fenders). Paid
the difference to get the whole truck done.

You can make the gasket using a Wheeties Box and an exacto knife. I did and
it works fine! I didn't want to make ANOTHER trip to the dealer. The
gasket would only cost a couple of bucks any ways!

Subject: FTE 80-96 - Changing radius arm bushings

I just wanted to take a second to pat myself on the back,
since yesterday I finished the nasty task of drilling out those rivets
and replacing the bushings the hard way. For anybody who's
considering this route, a couple of suggestions: 1) give yourself
two days -- one for each side. Not that it's going to take you that
long to drill the things out, but it's not worth the aggravation. 2) the
obvious: Liquid Wrench those bolts the night before. 3) be warned
that in Ford's infinite wisdom, they used a standard size on the
radius arm nut, but the bolt that's helping out those rivets going
through the bracket requires a deep-socket metric. (18mm, I think...)
Actually, I guess those last two apply regardless of how
you're going to get the job done.
Good luck out there!

Subject: FTE 80-96 - Re: Rough Idle

I havn't hooked up a vacuum gauge yet. Is this something that can be
rented? I tried the wd-40 trick on the manifold, no evidence that
there was a leak anywhere. (I was really leary about doing it, but
nothing happened...) As far as the mixture, I brought up the fact
that the booster was leaking very bad (take off the vacuum line, idle
comes up to almost normal) It was said that I could try richenening
the mixture until I get a new booster. I agree, I will be building up
quite a carbon deposit, but this way I can get it home w/o it dying
everytime I let off of the gas pedal.

Thanks,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Casey,
Have you hooked up a vacuum gauge to the manifold to see if you have
a vacuum
leak there? Just asking because mine was doing that and my front 2
manifold
bolts had wiggled loose...just a suggestion.Wayne Foy'94 Flareside SC

Did you mean to say you adjusted your low idle, not the fuel to air
mixture?
That would make more sense. Running it rich will foul your plugs and
cause
carbon build up in your engine. If you have a vacuum leak I think you
found
your problem.Scott

Subject: RE: FTE 80-96 - New clutch on 92 F150 - 5 speed

Usually the shakes, or clutch chatter comes from a warped flywheel (they
took off too much when they machined it), or a bent finger on the pressure
plate, or grease on the clutch lining. For some reason it is catching and
releasing rapidly causing a vibration. Usually this is because someone
screwed up.

Take it back and suggest these problems. I'd like to hear what they have as
an excuse!

If you're going to go through all the hassle of trading up, why not go
with a 5.0L V8? That is a common swap in the Bronco II.

"Line wrench" is the proper name of it and the perimeter is thicher than an

They are a "must" if you are going to do very much "line" work.

1. Nice graphic about the tires.

But, are we looking at them from the front of the truck or from above the
truck "through the fenders and hood"?

And when you say there is no alignment problem, how do you know?

2. Engine should not ping at speeds over 15 mph if you are in the right
gear. Auto or manual? Which engine?

Subject: Re: FTE 80-96 - Rough Idle

I doubt it is your fuel pump. Don't go there.

Do you have carb or fuel injection?

In either case, sounds like a vacuum leak is a reasonable place to look.
Double check all vacuum lines, especially the big ones that have full
engine vacuum on them (like PCV hose, brake booster hose, and other large
ones that supply vacuum to auto tranny, etc.)

Could be EGR valve not seating firmly (leaking just a bit). Pretty common
after lots of miles. How many miles on the beast? Any indication if EGR
valve has ever been replaced? Leaking EGR valve is not easy to diagnose.
You can remove it, look at the insides, clean it and put it back on. If
some improvement, then that's probably the culprit and you should replace.
If not change, then you still don't really know. Some bad valves will not
improve with cleaning, they need to be replaced. You can do this job.

Could be the brake booster unit, but more rare and I would not start there.

BTW, do you really need premium gas? Will it knock if you don't run it?
That could be an indication of too much EGR gas going in, pointing me back
at EGR valve. I do not think you should have to run premium on properly
operating stock engine in '88. Others with an '88 should comment.

Good luck.

The muffler has dual outs which were 2.25" each. It sounds and runs

2.50", but not much bigger. You still want SOME backpressure.

Subject: FTE 80-96 - 1995 F250 4X4 EFI460

I've just purchased a 1995 F250 S/C XLT. I've been running it for 3 weeks now. I am truly impressed with the power and torque of the stock 460, in front of the ZF 5 speed and 3.55 diff. I seem to be getting 13 miles to the US gallon (I'm in Canada... so, I've converted for this message). I don't really think that is too bad, if gas was cheaper.

I am considering converting to propane, it would cut my fuel costs by about half... but, since that comes with its own drawbacks, I want to check out my other options first.

Can anyone tell me of modifications, such as, chips, exhaust, fuel heaters, cam shafts, etc, that should show an improvement in my gas consumption? I've been through the postings in this website and am confident that help is out there. What are venturi effect tubes that H8MOnday refers to? I think I found them. And what purpose do they perform?

I've heard lots of good things about the new Edelbrock shocks!! Haven't
