Need Ideas
hey guys, its been a while but i've had nothing to talk about, My dad decided to give our 76 to my little brother so i went out and bought a 1990 F150 4x4, i drove it for a while then had to put an alternator on it. Then i put my lincoln back on the road for summer, problem with the truck is the wirring under the hood, my fuel pump doesnt work all the time and sometimes when i hit a bump the truck quits and wont start for a few days. My folks want me to sell it but i dont wanna give up, i was thinking about putting 302 that is carbureted in it with the wirring harness and computer, or just redoing the wirring in it now. Any ideas or advice? I really want to keep my truck and make it reliable for college.
Thanks.
Richard

Confirm this on the electrical forum.......
The hot lead to the fuel pump relay is a yellow wire that commonly corrodes/breaks on the underside of the relay box.
I believe that you have to unbolt the relay box from its' mount to get at the yellow wire connection.
If you do not have any wiring diagrams, Franklin2 or Subford on the electrical forum can usually pull one up.
Hope this helps solve the problem.

mabey a new truck
my friend that i keep my truck at his place has two diesels and he's only keeping one and i wanna buy the other off of him. I'm gonna ask him if he will make a deal with me so i can pay him month by month over the 2 years that i'm at college.
Its a 1994 f350 4x4, crew cab, with a 7.3 automatic, It needs a new tranny and possibly a new rad but the truck is in overall decent shape and doesn't even 200,000km yet, so i hope i can make a deal, then i would just need to find the tranny. The bigger the better.
