#118 of 423 Re: Truck won't start. [detroitlions] by 1bigtruck Dec 01, 2005 (12:26 pm)
Replying to: detroitlions (Oct 17, 2005 9:39 am) I too gave up my keys of my 2000 Ex to the wife when my baby girl was born. Wife doesn't like to fill up at the pump and frequently ran it low. I also live on a hill and recently started having problems with start up. She would crank over but not idle without a little help from the pedal. I understand the fuel pump is inside the gas tank towards the front of the vehicle (not an easy fix if you fry it). Now I dont let it get lower than a 1/4 tank and I try to park it as level as possible. Problem seems to have gone away. Im going to change the fuel filter anyway - any tips or ideas for upgrades? Is the stock filter located under the rear passenger driver's side running board? Any special tools required? Do I need to do any thing special to maintain pressure? --- Just trying to keep a few $$$ out of the hands of those crooks at the dealership Replies to this message: nodlew (Dec 11, 2005 10:27 am) 1bigtruck (Dec 12, 2005 10:58 am)
#119 of 423 Good old reliable FORD. by 1bigtruck Dec 01, 2005 (1:36 pm)
Im so glad I found this site. My 2000 V10 4X4 just turned 50k. I've got peeling paint on the roof (I had some paint repair done under warranty in the door jams as well). Rear hatch has scratched up the barn doors, the infamous "CLUNK" under the front end has been there the last 5 years, both passenger side door locks dont work (I hear the click but the actuator doesn't lift), I just did my 1st complete brake overhaul at 30k (pretty darn good for hauling around a Weekend Warrior FS26), and I just lifted it 6" and threw on some 36 x 12.5 BFG Mud Terrains. The first few weeks of the lift I actually got better gas mileage from 10mpg around town to 12 (now I get 7). I've already got plenty of tips on most of the problems but I would really like to fix the POWER DOOR LOCKS and gas mileage??? Anyone out there upgrade Chip, Banks, K&N, if so what was the outcome?
#120 of 423 Warped Rotors/Vibration by laura_02 Dec 02, 2005 (3:39 pm)
We've had many problems with our rotors warping. They can't even be turned, but need replaced prematurely. . . AGAIN! The Ford dealership denies any knowledge of a problem, but the recent improvements Ford has made a with their 2005 Ford Super Duty Trucks, including larger rotors and disc brakes, would seem to prove Ford finally received enough pressure to make a change. We are going to try Power Slot rotors w/Hawk pads this time. Hoping to get 25K-30K but haven't found anyone who warranties! THANKS to everyone who posts on this site for your input, It's nice to have company when you're feeling warped (ha-ha)!!! We'll keep you posted. Has anybody successfully dealt w/sensor problems, ie:false readings, alarms, etc??? Our interior lights stay on and it looks like a door is always open. Thanks ahead of time.

Replying to: joeexcursion (Nov 30, 2005 3:59 am) Joeexcursion; Your hubs are shot. Sorry to break this news to you. Mine were just done under warranty (I thought they damaged them doing a seal, but they say no).I have a 2000 Ex Ltd V10 with 65K miles. Either way, you need hubs.

Replying to: 1bigtug (Aug 16, 2005 5:00 pm) I have a 2001 Ford excursion diesel that rattles in the front when I run over wash board bumps it also rattles from apparently the front when I set at a light in gear.It has been doing this from day one and I cannot find it or any indication that anything is rubbing against something else.

Replying to: gm1934 (Dec 07, 2005 1:18 pm) I don't know if the rattle you hear is related to the squeak I used to hear when going over bumps, but if you think it might be, you should consider whether it could be the windshield. I thought it must have been the dashboard but turns out to have been windshield. Replies to this message: gm1934 (Dec 10, 2005 5:38 pm)

Replying to: msmel (Dec 09, 2005 10:16 pm) This is a diesel not a gasoline unit. I'm sure it is in the front it is a rattle not a squeak. Thanks anyway. George

Replying to: 1bigtruck (Dec 01, 2005 12:26 pm) The fuel filter is under the drivers side running board. You will have to release pressure from the fue line. Remove the gas cap to relieve any pressure from the tank. Then open the fuel filter/water separator drain valve by turning it clockwise. You should place something underneath to catch the little bit of fuel that drains out. Disconnect the lines and install the new filter. Hope this helps.

Replying to: nodlew (Dec 11, 2005 10:27 am) Thanks for the info. This is a really great site! I just wish that there was a cure for the paint cancer. Even the areas that the dealership repainted under warranty are pealing.
#127 of 423 Power door locks dont work by 1bigtruck Dec 12, 2005 (11:02 am)
Has anyone had this problem and fixed it? Its only the passenger side front and rear. Is there lubrication maintenance that I dont know about or is there a common problem with motor failure. Any tips????
