Ford F150

Are you looking for a Ford F-150?

Q: ford f150?
ive got a 1995 ford f150 and when i hit the breaks it kinda taps back at me … it didnt start tell i got into a car accident any ideas?

A: It has breaks? I did not know trucks took breaks. Oh u mean brakes! If it taps back at you it does not like your heavy foot, but then again if it were new brakes it would mean your rotors did not get turned.
Since it was in an accident, ask your insurance agent if you should get it checked out. Hopefully, everyone was ok from the accident and that it was not your fault.
Good luck!

Q: what is better ford f150 or Chevy Silverado?
I am looking into a first car and was wondering what is a better truck. A ford F150 or a Chevy Silverado. looking into 2005-2007.
please tell me why as well.

A: There is no truthful answer to this question, as some like Fords and others like Chevy, and then there’s the Dodge fans. That’s the reason they make so many different brands. One size does not fit all!
Me, I like Fords, but that’s just my personal opinion.

Q: What is the best sound system for a 2007 Ford F150 supercrew?
I have a 2007 Ford F150 Supercrew truck and I would like a put a good sound system in it. I would like good quality heart-pounding bass with good speakers to go with it. I have been looking at pioneer brand but i dont know too much. Pricing on the speakers, subwoofers, and amp would be greatly appreciated along with places where i could go to to get them for the best prices

A: I was in your same situation, I just got a Kicker 12″ L5. It pounds hard but its probably not the best sound quality. I would go with JL W7 or W6 series. My friend has a 12W6 in his evo that sounds great. JL makes some great subs in terms of quality but they are not exactly cheap. Then for an amp I would get the Alpine PDX series, they are small, CEA-2006 cerified and they handle same amount of power 2 or 4 Ohm which is great. I have a 600W for my sub and it is awesome. As for places to buy, shops around my city rip you off but you may want to check. Websites include: www.crutchfield.com www.millionbuy.com those two are great, I got my stuff off Ebay and got killer deals.
Check www.JlAudio.com to look at subs. They make boxes that are pre-loaded with subs that are very nice.

A Jl sub and box can be anywhere from about 300-900 dollars

amp you could get for probably 350 max.

If you want to go cheaper I would go with a Kicker pre-loaded box with a CVT or CVR

Good luck man!

Q: Why does my Ford F150 cut off when going in reverse?
I have an automatic 1991 Ford F150. It recently began cutting off when put into reverse and given a little gas. The truck will start up just fine and goes in drive. Sometimes it will cut off if i try to downshift to 1st or 2nd. I replaced the plate and seal on the underside of the transmission as well as a new transmission filter and seal for bottom pan. What could be causing this? Would it have something to do with the throttle body assembly?

A: this is a sign of the torque converter going out, type bad torque converter in your web search box, and read some of the information, there are other possiblilities, mileage on the truck for example helps sometimes in determining possibilities. but stalling when going into reverse, and dieing when pulling up to a stop light are good indicators. Try putting the truck un neutral (CAREFULLY NOT INTO REVERSE!!!!)
as you come up to a stop light or a stop sign, if the truck keeps running the throttle body is fine, the torque converter may be going south while you are going north. good luck hope this helps

Q: How do you replace turn signal bulbs on a 2000 Ford F150 side view mirror?
I have a 2000 Ford F150 Pickup with the optional turn signal indicator at edge of the side view mirror. The bulb has burned out and I can’t figure how to get to where it is. The owners manual does not state how to get to it. Thanks
I realize that the mirror has to come apart, but how do you get it apart?

A: Forget the nonsense of having to remove the whole mirror and follow these instructions. NOTE: All mirrors have two upper clips. Mirrors that are not equipped with optional turn signals have two additional clips.

Access the two upper clips.
Position the mirror glass to obtain a gap at the upper edge of the mirror assembly.

Use a screwdriver or similar tool to release the two mirror cover upper clips

Remove the mirror cover.
Disconnect the signal mirror electrical connector

Remove the signal mirror bulb socket.

Remove the signal mirror bulb.

To install reverse the removal procedure

Install the mirror cover.
If equipped, connect the electrical connector.
Apply sufficient force to the mirror cover until it snaps into place.

Q: Does it cost regular price or extra to paint a ford f150 flat black?
I was looking into the flat black paint job for my 2001 ford f150 and i wasn’t sure if it would cost extra or maybe even less without the gloss. Anyone know?

A: It cost $1200 to paint my car flat black. All the prep work was done by me so it saved some there. Flats don’t have a clear coat so that saves on labor and materials also. If you do flat black your truck, make sure you wash it with dish soap and not car was soap, as lots of car wash soaps have wax in them which will make your car shiny.

It’s size is 280s comp cam you will need a 3000 or bigger stall with a auto trans. I you have 5 speed your ok. Your local speed shop can also help alot.

Q: How do I change an electronic control module for a 1988 Ford F150 pickup?
Module on the distributer. Can’t see how it comes off. 1988 Ford F150 302 V8 automatic 4×4 EFI
Module on distributer, truck turns over until the battery goes dead but wont start, have been told this could be the problem but can’t see how it comes off.
1988 Ford F150 302 V8 auto EFI 4×4
So just pull it off get some kind of adhesive remover or just throw a match in the gas tank

A: Sometimes you will have to remove parts like the ac, and thermostat water neck, out of the way.

You will need to mark the distributor base and intake with white-out, disconnect the TFI connector, loosen the distributor and turn it counter clock wise fully, you should have just enough (tight) room to get a 5/32″ socket (1/4″ drive). It’s tight. a few small extentions and universal knuckles make it easier. once you get the screws out , the TFI will come DOWN from the base of the distributor. It has 3 connector pins attaching UP into the base of the distributor.
Don’t forget to put new Dielectric grease on the back of the TFI. then put it all back together and match your distributor marks up before tighting it down.

It’s a tight job to get the left rear screw out. they are small so be patient and don’t over tighten them when replacing them.

This is how I do it on my 1991 F150 with a 5.0 V8.

If you are eating TFI’s ……….Look behind the batteries right side…….On the radiator support………There is a few black (ground) wires attached to a bolt. Take them loose and clean the contact surfaces with a wire brush, and re-bolt them back in place. This is the ground wire point to the TFI. It needs to have a good contact, or you will be burning up TFI’s back to back it will seem.

Q: How many dirt bikes will fit in a Ford F150?
I have a Ford F150 and i need to take 3 dirt bikes down to the lake for the weekend. If they won’t fit i need to rent a trailer. Does anyone know how many dirt bikes will fit in the back, so i don’t have to do a trial run before we go?

A: is it a long bed?

i have fit 3 by putting the middle one facing back and one on each side facing forward… use the middle for the smallest bike…

are these like 650s or 250s?

if they are 250cc or smaller you can stack like a dozen in a truck bed.

Q: Can anyone tell me how difficult it would be to change a Ford F150 over to a regular carb from an EFI system?
I have a 1986 Ford F150 that I have had nothing but problems with the electronic fuel injection system on and I would like to know what kind of difficulty I would have changing it over to a regular carborator system. I already know that I would have to change the intake manifold and get a carborator but what other wonderful types of things do I have to look forward to?

A: It would be way easier to fix the EFI than switch to a carb>

Q: what would make a ford f150 hard to shift?
I have a 1994 ford F150 and just recently replaced the master slave cylinder and now a couple days after it won’t shift and if it does it feels like i am pushing against a brick wall. It shifts hard in all gears and it’s a pain. I have bled it and got the air out but I can’t figure out what else it might be.

A: Proally shifting forks now buddy

Q: where is the brake light switch located in a 1997 ford f150?
I have no brake lights on my 1997 Ford F150 and it wont shift out of park, can someone help me? Where is the brake light switch located? Is it the same thing as a stop light switch? If so I replaced that and it still doesn’t solve the problem. Any suggestions?

A: this is a safety feature when your brake lights go out the interlock does this, turn the key to the first position, then put the shifter into nuetral, (you can start the truck like this, but go get the problem fixed, hope this helps get you on the road anyhow.
I see by the first two answers, they need to do more research before typing half an answer does nothing.
