I already received it and it is installed in the truck. Have no issue with it.

 

I may try to have my capacitors replaced and if that doesn’t work, I may have to get it rebuilt because you can’t hardly get a remanned one anywhere

 

Sorry, I went through thread 4 x, what year truck, motor, trans? I sure thought you had it in your, signature.

 

yeah I don’t guess I put it in this thread, it’s a 94 f250 460 5 speed

 

I don’t even see how to create a signature or put something in it

 

Top left of any forum page, you'll see "User CP" for "control panel"

Click on it & it will show you something like what's below. Look to it's left and in the column is "edit signature" which will take you through it.

Creating works best on a PC or tablet, phone, not so much.

 

ah, thank you. I pretty much use only my phone for checking the forums and it was on the mobile site so I couldn't find it. got it now

 

what are the "chapters"? like the Mississippi Chapter

 

FTE as a site is made up of lots of individual forums for generations, engines, competition, towing, etc, etc, etc.

There are also state, regional, Canadian & international "chapters" which have their own forums so people can meet, keep up & do IRL functions if they choose.

If you scroll down to the near bottom of the main forum list page, you'll see the listings.

TN chapter (forum #95) doesn't look to have had much activity since first of June:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum95/

 

that’s pretty cool. it’s too bad there’s so many forums but a lot of them don’t get used very much. I didn’t even know the regional forums existed

 

Yaeh, sadly FTE is an underutilized resource that most fall into & learn to swim in or get out of the pool if not, stay in the shallow end. But such is the case with user-run, volunteer orgs that live on a corporate base.

It was built by an individual & a group of very like-minded enthusiast Ford truck folk who had comp skills in the developing internet age.

It grew, flourished & eventually was sold.

My experience, & opinion, not necessarily 100% reality or accurate.

even though no one probably cares, in the spirit of not-wanting-to-leave-threads-unresolved, I figured I’d report back. I found out the PCM had some leaking capacitors, and instead of buying another computer (everywhere was out of stock) I figured I’d just have the capacitors replaced, and that seems to have fixed it. I’ve put almost 200 miles on it since then with multiple startups and it’s ran perfect. I also replaced the o2 sensor when the computer was out but I don’t really think that was the problem.

 

Glad you got it straight. Thanx for the follow up.
