what can i do??
I'm about ready to 
my truck! I have a 93 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 and I am having a few problems with it:
1. My front tank fuel gauge only works when it wants to.
2. I have to manually change gears; it won't go into first gear; and when I come to a complete stop, it doesn't start in the right gear. (it's an automatic)
3. I also want to get better performance and don't know how.
Does anyone have any advice for me???

2)Check tranny fluid, change tranny fluid & filter ~ including fluid in torque converter (hey, it may help)
3)What kind of performance do you want & how much are you willing to spend to get it?

My 1992 4.9 has the intermittant front tank guage problem too. I just popped off the connector from the top of the tank and found the 4 pins and plugs full of nasty grease and dirt. I guess someone put some kind of grease in there to inhibit corrosion. I hit both sides of the connector with CRC electronics connector cleaner and scrubbed with an acid brush. I rinsed them with some more CRC and dried them with compressed air. I sparingly coated the 4 pins with dielectric grease to help fight dirt and corrosion. My truck is on Jack stands for another day, but I will try and get back to you in the next week, if it helped or not.
My theory about the connector is based on one simple thing. Ford replaced a bad front sender for me. The original sender and new sender did the same thing, which was intermittant gauge reading.

I may try that. I had to replace my torque converter about a month ago and it started working for about a week, then it stopped. maybe i have a loose wire. I just don't know???
