I think one of these guys built my 1995 Dodge Ram. That guy had to be
smoking crack or something.

I've been told that the F150 front calipers are single piston where as the
F250 calipers are dual piston. I would guess that this means more surface
area on the F250 pads. Does anyone know what the differences are between
the F250, F250HD, and F350 front brakes?

Subject: Got my Truck

Hi, I sent a message out last week stating that i was looking for a F-150 older than
a 95 and new than a 88. I got a couple of reply and i would like to thank all of
you who did reply. Well i got a 1994 F-150 with 125,000 miles, bedliner, AC, 5 speed,
new back tires, and it is a straight six, and i only paid about $5,000. I was wondering
if a straight six is better than a 4 cylendar, or worst than a 6 cylendar or what??
Also i posted a message asking about what type of truck would be best for a 14.5
acre farm. I got replies telling me what kind of truck would be good but i had know
idea what kind of truck they were telling me about. The only Ford trucks i know
about are the F-150,250,350 and Superduty. If anyone could tell me which one of
those would be best that would be great!! The person who i am requesting this information
for is buying the farm and will be raising Alpackas, bording horses, and will have
chickens and a couple of dogs. They are looking for a good truck for this type of
farm in the price of about $10,000. Any information would be greatfuly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scottie

I have a problem with that last statement.
On my F250, I can press the brake pedal hard enough to activate the rear
ABS and keep the front tires on the verge of lockup. This is the best
braking available on the vehicle, and the limit is a function of the
tires, not the brake system.
Putting a Brembo system may alter how much pedal pressure is necessary
to do the same thing, but it can't alter the actual results.
There's an ad on TV now for some brake pad that mkaes the claim that no
other pads can stop the shown vehicle (a Sunurban) faster than their
brake pads. Why? Because they all stop the thing at the same rate,
because that rate is a function of the tire adhesion (traction), not the
brake pads. Note, the claim is not that their pads stop better, or
faster, but that none of the others can beat theirs, which makes sense,
since the pads are not the controlling factor in single stops.
Now, when we get to prolonged hard use, different pads make a
difference, but unless we are towing, or travelling a lot in hilly
country, or racing, that's not much of a problem.

Subject: Re: F-150 vs F-250 Brakes

I have to disagree with the statement that all pads will stop the same.
Look at what it takes to stop a vehilce. The kinetic energy in the forward
motion is converted into heat by the brakes - the better a pad/rotor
absorbs/dissapates the heat, the faster the vehicle stops. The pad material
plays a very big part. So does the size of the rotor/drum. Thats why 12 inch
brakes stop better than 10 inch brakes. The larger rotor is able to
absorb/dissapte more heat than a smaller one. The coefficient of friction
between the tires and the hiway naturally also plays in the equation - look
at dry vs wet stopping.
I'm sure others can explain it better than I.

Talk to the guys on the 70's list, if my memory serves me right (and
that would most definitely be a rare thing) the 72-77 Ford F-250's had
high arch springs and sat up very high, therefore "highboy",
especially when compared to other trucks of that era. Whether or not
it can stand for something else, I don't know.

I read an article not too long ago on putting aftermarket stainless
steel brake rotors on trucks. I don't remember (surprise) whether or
not it was Ford specific, but I think they make them for F-150's
(tried for the 250, nada). They even have swap out rotors for rear
drums. If anyone is interested, I'll dig it up and post it, or if you
e-mail me directly I'll let you know too.
Later,

Braided lines look cool but they tend to eat away at anything
they rub. This is something to consider.

I am curious to find out what other inline-6 owners get for gas miliage

duraspark II) which at sea leval got 17 mpg highway but when I moved to
the Rockies would only get 14 highway and 12 city. My 85 (with TFI-IV)
gets only 16.5 highway and 13 city at high altitude and 18 mpg highway
at east coast sea level. I have advanced the timing 2 degrees and
adjusted fuel mixture (truck has a yfa feedback carb) to compensate. I
would like to see if other I-6 drivers have come up with other ways to

Subject: ADMIN: Pigeon Forge show

It's official, Ford Truck Enthusiasts will have a booth at the
20th Annual F100 Nationals in Pigeon Forge, Tenn! Show dates
are (this is from the promoter himself, there have been
conflicting dates mentioned): May 14-17 (Thursday through
Sunday). We may have the booth space as early as Thursday
morning but it may not get set up until the afternoon (paying
vendors get moved in and setup first). We plan to have the
booth up the entire weekend.

We plan to give out brochures and sell the window stickers
there. I need to get some volunteers to man the booth a couple
of hours each so I don't spend the entire show sitting in a
chair..... I really want to get a chance to look at some of the
trucks! Even taking a 30 minute session would be great so I
could make bathroom runs!

Concerning a Ford Truck Enthusiasts picnic, the entire town
is booked solid. We'll have to informally arrange a time
and place to meet for dinner while at the show.

If you need show information, check out the event guide on the
web site. Looking forward to meeting many of the list members
there. Perhaps the west coast members could arrange to meet at
a west coast show?

I am a "card-carrying" able-to-purchase R12 (or R134a if and *when* that
requires a license) kinda guy because, for $20, in 1994, I sent off to MACS
(Mobile Air Conditioning Society) for their licensing kit. It consisted of
a multiple choice, open book test. Period. Supposed to be lifetime. I
jumped on it at the time even thought I really didn't *need* it because I
figured sooner or later the price for licensing would go *way* up and/or it
would require periodic renewals but I would be "grandfathered" in.

>It will also keep the tree huggers off of your back on

Unless it is smuggled in, there is a fixed amount in this country. And
someday, whether I or someone else owns it, it *will* leak out of whatever
it is contained in . . .

Subject: exhaust system costs

Just took the son's F150 302 4X down and got an entire new single exhaust
system put on it.

$165 for mandrel bent 2.5" (replacing the stock 2.25") aluminized tubing,
and a big free flowing aluminized all welded seam truck muffler. Took about
40 minutes. Sounds very good,and should last a long time. I did not get
dirty, have to lug the old stuff away, buy any tools, take off any wheels.
The old system had gotten to the point it had holes in it. We are both
convinced the engine runs smoother now. And most important, the son is
happy with it.

I stayed away from the 3" due to reports on here about loss of torque on a
302 with 3". A turbo muffler would have lowered the price to $125. I could
have had a 3" with a flowmaster for $200.

That's a crock. I have my licensing and there is no way it costs that
much. The license is so easy to get. You sit in front of a short
videotape that tells you how bad it is to release freon into the air.=20
You have to know how short the hoses have to be on the recovery system.=20
Then you take a one page written test. I had never worked on an A/C
system in my life but when I was working at Pep Boys selling tires of
all things, I was required to take the exam with the mechanics. Every

6 years ago Pep Boys marked up the big cans to about $100 and the little
cans for like $20.

HI
For all you 4x4 finatics, I would like to inform you and welcome you to
come to 4 wheel drive heaven. It's Moab, Utah and if you haven't heard
of it it is a small tourist town with awesome 4x4 trails surrounded by
red rocks. Since all of you own Fords (if you don't you should) I'd like
you to show up all the Chevys, Dodges, Toyotas, etc. especially the ones
with the Calvin pissing on Ford stickers. Tens of thousands of 4x4s show
up just to have fun, thousands of others show up just to look at the
monsters. This is Moab's precious event and you will be pleased. It is
April 4 to April 12. At least look into it. It is awesome!

And for all you show-offs there is a huge car show on April 25th.
It's awesome too.

I have a 1993/F250/ext. cab/7.3TD/4x4/ZF/4.10. There appear to be a
few
aftermarket "stands" that elevate the rear seat to more like the later....
