So, I Found a 95 F150 that was owned by an older man out on a farm with 45k original miles on it. The truck forward of the bed is immaculate however the bed shows normal use and the tailgate is a little tweaked, works fine though. The truck was treated well and there is no major rust anywhere on it that I see, just a little bit of surface rust in places. It also looks like the undercarriage was sprayed off on a regular basis. So now for the questions, The right hand piece of the dash is cracked and I've been looking for a replacement blue one, does anyone know where to find one? Is this piece a standalone piece to replace or do I just need to go with the full replacement from LMC Truck? I have the same question on the front bumper, is there anyplace better than LMC Truck? It has the dual tanks, but for some reason with the back tank showing empty I was only able to put 13 gallons in it, I was under the impression that the back tank was an 18, is it just the fuel gauge being that far off or did they put in smaller tanks in the later years?

 

welcome to FTE. sounds like you found a nice truck. we love pics here. i would suggest jy for the parts your looking for. and your gas tank should be an 18 gallon so i would think its in your sending unit in the tank.

 

Welcome to FTE and yes pics of your truck would be nice!!

 

My 1992 F350 4x4 has a 19 gallon rear tank, my fuel gauge shows empty after about 14 gallons have been consumed. Yours appears to exhibit the same behavior.

Other parts suppliers are National Parts Depot (NPD), JC Whitney and Dennis Carpenter that come to mind right now.

So, I finally got some pictures. Now lets see if I can get them to work. Also my water temperature gauge isn't working on the truck, any ideas? I replaced the coolant temp sending unit on the block. I'm figuring if I can't get the factory gauge to work I'll just put in a universal under the dash but I would rather get the one working that's already there.

No ideas on the water temperature gauge?

 

Which sensor "on the block" did you change.
Both temp sensors are actually in the intake. Not the block.
The single wire sensor on the drivers side is the gauge and the two wire one on pass side is for the computer (both at front of intake)

There is a module on the back of instrument cluster that deals with the fuel gauge and stuff. That could be bad causing the gauges to not read correctly.

 

6 one way half dozen the other. I replaced the single wire on the intake because I figured that was the issue. All my other gauges read out fine. The temp gauge won't even move. Correct me if I'm wrong but if the module on the back of the cluster goes bad wouldn't all the gauges read wrong and not just one?

 

It is possible the gauge itself has died or you could have a wiring problem. The temp gauge can be replaced without replacing the whole dash cluster, all the trim and glass has to come off the front and then the gauges can be unplugged seperately, and this can be done in the truck without removing the cluster, but you'll need a donor cluster from a '94 or '95 truck.

The fuel level senders on these trucks are nororiously inaccurate so you can't use them for anything except to indicate that there is some fuel in the tank, you should be able to determine how big yours are by using it until the engine begins to die and then quickly switch to the other, a fillup will then show full capacity. Also pay attention to MPG on each tank, it should be the same and if it's not you have a common fuel transfer problem due to stuck check valves in the tanks.
