I have a 88 F-150 XLT short bed which I am going to be going through. It's a great old truck, got 130,000 miles on it and still runs like a top. Needs paint and some minor cosmetics, but it starts every morning and the a/c blows cold! I live in Imperial Valley, CA(90 minutes east of San Diego and 60 minutes west of Yuma, AZ). It gets 110 or so here in the summer, so the a/c is important! I also own a 65 Econoline pickup which is currently for sale. You can see pics of it on the FTE site. I look forward to teh info and ideas presented here. Blessings, Jerry Godsey www.geocities.com/view_from_pew 65 Ford Econoline 88 F-150 95 Aerostar 89 Escort GT Imperial, CA ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2000 21:53:02 -0400 From: Wesley Murphy Subject: Re: 302 problems For us with the 4.0 engine, this is a common problem. I myself had the same problem. It would ping severely (rattle a lot) under load and especially on start up. I was also loosing about a quart every 1000 miles. I took it into the shop to have new gaskets on the upper end installed. I had a leaking intake manifold and a leaking head gasket that after fixing took care of the oil/coolant consumption. While in there, my mechanic replaced all the pushrods; he said they were wore severely and replacing those took care of the rattle. I always assumed it was pinging (I could hear it somewhat) but that the rattle was just covering it up. It wouldn't hurt to do a check of all your gaskets. I would also pull the plugs to look for contamination. Good luck!

I just tried and got a constant 12.4 volts between it and ground on both leads. I tried resistance between the two leads and got a constant resistance no matter how I moved the throttle. I thought I knew how to do this, but I guess not. Any help would be appreciated. - Mark Reimers KB9ODG '66 Bronco 170 I-6, 3-speed, 3.5" suspension lift, 3" body lift, 35" tires ... with an '88 5.0L and AOD waiting to go in!

The shaft of the fan clutch/pulley combination wobbles a bit when I move it with my hands, looks normal when idling, otherwise the motor runs fine, cools properly, no leaks. One mechanic told me the water pump would have to be replaced, $120 for parts, $300 for labor. I think I could do that myself, but am worried about breaking the water pump bolts due to age & corrosion. I have the Helm/FMC shop manual for this engine. It mentions a special tool T83T-6312-A&B to remove the fan & clutch assembly. My local dealer was no help in giving any info about this tool. I was thinking of removing the radiator first and then the whole fan/clutch and water pump as a unit. Any comments would be appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!
