Do any of you guys know how the gearshift lever on the 5-speed comes apart? This is for a '91. The bezel on top of the lever with the gear pattern written on has come loose and it is vibrating with a loud buzzing sound when the truck is in motion and is absolutely driving me up the wall. I...

'91 XLT, 185,000 miles. Won't pass smog and the People's Republik of Kalifornia pasted me as a 'gross polluter' (sheesh...). The truck has brand new plugs (Motorcraft platinum) and plug wires, new filters, I cleaned the MAF, new fuel pressure regulator, etc. Runs great and gets about 17.5...

Guys I need to order some parts. Fordpartsonline.com (Atascadero Ford) has declined severely as of late. I guess they let go three staff and they will not do business over the phone any more. When I send in a parts request using the web form, I get an automated email reply that basically...

Installed new Sony HU to replace old Sony HU with dead CD. Installed new HU, powered it up, but no sound at all. No pop, no buzz, no nuthin. Truck has factory premium sound w/factory sub. That should not be a problem though since the previous Sony worked great until the CD player died...

Ok here's what happened. So my head unit was stolen. It was a Sony FM CD 25Wx4 blah blah blah. I got another head unit, similar to the old one only with more power, installed it, spliced it all in good and proper, power it up and - there is no sound. Nothing. No hum, no pop, no nuthin...

Guys here's a question for you. The truck is at the local stealer for diagnostic and he is telling me my plug wires are no good. They have about 40k on them and they are good quality aftermarket wires. My question: If a wire meets the resistance spec, and there are no breaks in the...

Guys here's a question for you... '91 XLT, manual trans, A/C. On cold starting, it will start right up but runs REAL rough for about 10 seconds, then it clears up and idles and runs normally. Strong smell of raw fuel in the exhaust when it does this. My gas mileage is down about 25%, too...

Guys the rear door inside handles on my 91 are not working correctly. It is VERY difficult to get the doors open from inside the truck, so much so that sometimes the kids can't get out of the truck and I have to open the doors from the outside. The handles work perfectly normally from the...

Guys I have an ignition whine in the left front speaker. It is only in that speaker. It is not there all the time but it happens most of the time. Sometimes I can turn off the unit and the whine will be gone when I turn it back on, but usually that doesn't work and the whine is there...

Hi Guys, I totally lost the left side inboard brake pad after about 20k. The inboard pad was worn clear past the rivets and totally into the backing plate. Funny thing is - it didn't start grinding until a day before I checked it. Usually when you hear grinding it's into the rivets and you...

Hi guys, A friend of mine (who owns a Taur*s, poor guy...) says that his mechanic friend at the Ford dealership told him that the fix for the infamous noisy Ford power steering pump is to add Ford friction modifier, that is made for the limited-slip diff, into the PS fluid. Have any of you...

Well I'm back. Been gone for awhile, doing other things, working too much. Tried to log on this morning and... the board didn't remember me! I had to re-register! I was hurt. Oh well. Are some of you 'old guys' still around? Ray Lobato? GJarrett? RVerdejo? Paul? Wendy? Danny Rose...
