I've got an '86 Bronco (5.0L) and am in the same boat. I have found that
just about everything short of sheet metal will swap. There are other minor
differences on the motor as well. I think the alternator changed mounting
positions and the motor went with a serpentine belt. I've put the one piece
oil pan gasket on (sweet) that was listed for '88 and up 5.0L.

Clear as mud ???

When you replaced the clutch, did you also check/replace the pilot bearing?
My guess is, if there was a lot of play with the input bearing, maybe the
pilot bearing was also bad.

Paul,

I bought a 94 F350 SC dually with a 460 and 14,000 miles in June this year
and I love it. The only drawback from my point of view is the 8 mpg the 460
gives me. When gas get close to $2 a gallon I just say to myself every mile
"there's a quarter".
But I never expected 20 mpg either.

I can haul a 3000 lb camper and pull a 20ft boat and not have any problem and
still get 7-8 mpg.

I changed oil to Mobil 1 last week and first estimates are a 25% increase in
mpg. From 8 to almost 10. Yahoo!  I don't drive it everyday so that could be
a fluke.

 I have a 95 250 SC long bed with a 460. I get close to 10 MPG around
town, 12.5 on the highway and 7 to 8.5 towing 8600 lbs (highway). I did
not notice any change in milage from going to mobil 1. i have a set of
doug thorley's (headers and Y-pipe) on the way and I'm hoping to maybe
pull a 1/2 MPG out of them, maybe evena MPG omn the highway. I'm sure
I'm hoping for the world :-)

 If you are not doing major hauling/towing, I don't see the need for a
350. If you are doing major towing/hauling, then I don't think the 351
will have enough snort. I'd get a 351 in a 150, but for amjor work ina
250/350, I'd prob go powerstroke if I had to do it again. Just for info,
the 250's ride 10 times better than the 350's.

Subject: Brake problem on F-150

I changed the front brake pads on my 1990 F-150 several months ago and ever since, when I brake and
the truck is almost stopped, I hear a grinding-moaning sound from the front wheels.  When I installed
the new pads I had the disks turned and used the "stickum" and lubricant as recommended by the pad
manufacturer.  This seems like an easy problem to find but I have been into the front wheels several
times and I cannot locate the cause of the noise.  Anyone out there ever have a similar problem?  The
replacement inside pads do not have the little round clip that snaps into the piston like some of the
newer model 150's have.  Could this cause the problem you think?

TIA

Whenever I have heard the grinding sound it meant that there wass metal to
metal contact.  Perhaps there is a loose spring or a rock stuck in the pads.
Do you think that the pads could be going past the turned area on the
rotors?  You might hear the grinding sound if the pads are rubbing on the
unsurfaced area of the rotors.

I haven't had a chance yet to work on it yet but was wondering if the
catalytic converter was clogging up, would that cause the oil to blow out? I
failed emissions, its down on power, usually stalls trying to pull out of
the driveway,  and the air pump isn't working right, although was hooked up
for emissions test. how do you tell if one is bad?

I absolutely LOVE the cab of my Beast. (Only wish the rear doors had power
locks too).
My Beast is a Diesel, so my 351 Experience comes from Dads 150. Pretty good
power. MISERABLE mileage. If it had to pull my Beast around, I'd be lucky
to see 8 mpg.

To be very fair, Dads truck could (I firmly believe) use a new high flow
cat. It doesn't flash engine light, so I haven't tried to pull codes. There
COULD be 16-18 mpg hiding in there somewhere, but he sees 10-11.

Hello List

Can someone tell me what kind of tool is required to remove the pully on a
power steering pump?  And if it is something that is easy to find and
purchase? The pump I'am going to be working on is off my 84 F150 with a 300.

Thanks,

NAPA or any decent auto parts store sells a tool for this.  Ask if
they rent/loan it first because it usually comes in a kit for pulley,
steering wheel and balancer removal/installation and will run $60.

Most local mechanics also have this tool and are willing to pull it.  One local wanted $15, but my regular mechanic did it for nothing.  Takes about 2 minutes.  When you get your new pump, there is usually a tool included to press the pulley back on.  If not, let me know, I've got a couple laying around the garage. ....
