I have a '99 F150 and I have 2 issues I thought I would address to you guys.

1 - Sometimes my tailgate sticks. I have to push the tailgate in and then lift the handle and it will open. If I don't push it in, nothing happens and it doesn't open.

2 - Sometimes when I start my truck, the odometer disappears. It's just black there for a few seconds or so and then it comes back.

Any tips to fix these would be great. Thanks guys!

problem number 1, need to take the acces panel off and spray everything in there with some silicone, or wd40.

problem #2 - take a look at this thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...meter+blackout

hope this helps

 

besides lubing up the rods on the tailgate there is some adjustment that can be done on the plastic clips that hold the rods in position

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Very helpful!
