CD and cassette player
I was on a 600 mile trip and usually listen to Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Merle and Mark Chestnut, etc...
However, everytime I put a CD in it gave an err message and pushed the CD back out. So I tried the cassete player. The tape wouldn't even go in...
Has anyone else had this problem and whats the fix if there is one ?
Or do I need to just get a new radio ? And if so where ?
My truck is in my sign and this is the first time it's done this.
Thanks and I need my country music while I drive.

Sometimes you can simply remove the radio and disconnect all the connectors. Try reconnecting it and see if it resets. Sometimes it works if there is not a failed part inside. Worth a try. You can get Ford Radio removal tools at any parts store for a few dollars.

It won't help u with the cassettes but I put all my cds on my Ipod and hooked it to an fm modulator. I have a habit for scraping up the cds. It works just fine and allows me to carry it with me or play it on the shop radio when I am sitting.

Fix or replace depends on your goals. For my F250 that came with an AM/FM, I just wanted to add CD and get reasonable sound, so I got a salvage Ford radio with the CD/cassette and upgraded all four speakers in my SC.
I didn't want to spend a lot and I did want to retain the stock look and feel. Radio was about $75 and speakers about $150. Used all stock wiring and connectors. Just got the double-DIN radio extraction tools as shown above, popped in the used radio and spent a couple of hours replacing speakers.
For salvage parts, try Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

I would think Ebay might be a place to look at for a replacement stock radio as many folks install new aftermarket units and sell their stockers....
