My '04 F-150 has lately been making a metal scrape noise. Just real intermittent. Then yesterday while in a funeral procession it just kept doing the noise. Afterward, when it did it again, I engage 4x4 High and it stopped. Anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: cballard (Sep 28, 2006 4:24 pm) There's a frame cross-member that runs across the middle of the pan. The pan depth is raised in the middle to accomodate the frame piece passing underneath it. There's a deeper part of the oil sump in front of the frame piece, and another deep part behind the frame member. You can't pull the pan out with crushing it. If you want to replace it with the same size pan, the only way a new one will fit without damaging it is to unbolt the engine mounts and jack the engine up about 4-5 inches. I haven't actually done it - I sealed my leaky pan with JB-Weld and it's still holding |

| I have a 03 F 150 and 02 Ranger with the same problem. Can't get any power to the window switches. Checked fuses and relays etc. Both units have been under water and have had other electrical issues, alternators, turn signals and so forth. I don't have wiring diagrams and am at a stand still. Any help would be appreciated!!!Where can I find wiring diagrams online? Thanks!!! | |

First, aligned and balanced all four tires. Second, ballance tires and rotated. Third, road force balance and machined rotors. Fourth, aligned and road force balanced. Fifth, aligned and steering dampner installed. Sixth, all four tires replaced and road force balanced due to extended warranty by ford.Seventh, dealer balance and rotated but would not align under warranty. At that point I rufused to pay for the alignment and went to the service manager. He did not want to do anything else. I called my attourney, we met with my service records and he wrote to Ford. It took thirty days and ford is going to replace my truck or repurchase it. Currently Ford does not know how to repair the vibration in the truck, they can only make it better. That wasn't good enough for me when I just spent $30,000.00 for a new truck! Hope this helps others out. California Lemon law works! Good luck all! |

Hello...I am contemplating the purchase of a new 06 F150 4x4. I've read about the vibration issue. How common is it? Can it be corrected? Does the model or trim make a difference? Has anyone had any trouble with the flex fuel engine? Is there any other quirk I should look out for? Thank you.

My 1984 F250 will run about 15 minutes and then dies. At that point I have no power to the injector pump or glow plugs. Later on it will start up again and do the same thing. Any ideas? |

Replying to: macgyver005 (Oct 13, 2006 8:10 am) How common is it? Very! Can it be corrected? Occasionally it can, but mostly not. It then changes from being a problem to become a characteristic. Does the model or trim make a difference? 4x4s seem to be the most affected. Can't help with the last two. I'm not sure what percentage have the flex engine. |
