okay ,first of all i want take back all of the negative things ive said about my truck and maybe ford trucks in general ,i own an 86 f150 4.9 ,4 speed manual ,it was givin to me by the in-laws ,it was pretty sick at the time. i worked on this thing for awhile (they've already sunk alot of $$ in it) but anyway it was to sick to even drive (front brakes were locked up on it when i drove it home,and please dont try that it was dangerous and stupid ) i could have taken it to a mechanic and probably had it fixed sooner but i enjoy working on motors and such ,nobody understood my obsession to fix it my self ,its just a little thing called pride and satisfaction of a job well done ,but in all fairness i could not have done it with out the help from the members of FTE and all of the threads posted in here so i want to thank you for taking the time to assist of us newbies to ford trucks and to the little engine that could (4.9) as a member here i will try to do my best in assisting others ,with the newly found "ford-edumacation" that i have learn here and on my own.....the piont is with a little help and and patience you will get-r-done ,it took awhile and some frustration i got it to run as good as it does ...still need exhuast work, but it will move out of its own way and not hold up traffic .... so thanks for all of the help in here

 

Well thats good to hear i like the story always nice to accomplish something yourself i agree with you there one thing about FTE lots of great help
