Two questions...

Hey everyone! Well, it's my first post here. I'd just like to say that it's awesome that there's such a big comminity dedicated to Ford trucks. You guys rock.

Now, onto business!

I drive a 1994 single cab F-150. I recently installed two 8" Kicker Comps. Although the box is soundly built, I'm hearing some vibration around the cab, but I'm having trouble locating it's source. Can someone point me to common sources of vibration in these trucks?

Also, my truck came factory with power locks and windows. I bought it used (as the second owner) but it didn't come with any key fobs. I don't know weather or not it has the sensors for them. Is there a way to find out?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Xabrophazon

Welcome to FTE!

Please take a moment to review Sticky threads at the tops of forums, there are two here "need help" and "want my truck" - you can review them via these links...

Check to make sure the exhaust shield under the truck isn't rattling on ya. Otherwise, you'll just have to let it vibrate and go under the truck and listen for it/narrow it down to an area and investigate.

Not all of these trucks came with keyless entry - some of the newer ones did. I'd say chances are slim that you have it w/o a fob - but you'd have to look under the hood or under the dash for a controller for it - not easy to spot if ya don't know whats what under the hood.

The rattling/squeaking I had was in my doors. I removed the door panels and found stretched rivets. I couldn't tighten up rivets so I gummed them up real good with blue RTV and my squealing went away.

I noiced that too. The buttons you push to open the door was rattling really badly on the passenger side on my truck. I think the rattling is coming from inside the cab though... Hmm... I'll keep looking.

Sorry Mustang, I'll make sure to follow board rules more closely next time.

Thanks everyone!
