#371 of 551 F150 Ford 4x4 long wheel base 1997 by bitsy3 Feb 11, 2007 (3:47 pm)
There has been an oil leak from the transmission or so we thought. Changed pan gasket three times. Now it seems to becoming out between transmission and tranfer case. Is there a gasket between them. The oil is draining from the transmission, fuild level decreases.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#372 of 551 shift on the fly? by connon1 Feb 14, 2007 (3:31 pm)
So much for being prepared. Had my 06 KR since April 06 and needed 4x4 today for the first time since I bought it and guess what? Try to engage and nothing.No clunk, light indicator on the dash, nada. Good thing for the limited slip . Granted it was only six inches here in No. Jersey but it was real weird hard pack snowand no plows in sight.Of course no techs at the dealer in a storm . I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I traded an 04 superduty that had nagging electrical problems for this ride and I hoped for better. Any similar experiences out there?

Replying to: connon1 (Feb 14, 2007 3:31 pm) Any luck figuring it out? Shift-on-the-fly uses vaccuum to pull in the hubs, but if you're not even getting a light on the dash seems like you've got an electrical problem. If I remember correctly, there's a couple of fuses in a module under the hood associated with the 4x4. Your owner's manual can show you where they are.

Replying to: rvmont (Aug 24, 2006 7:00 am) You don't say what year(s) your trucks are, but I had an older F-150 (as did a friend with a similar vintage and the same problem): hit a bump (even at a much lower speed) and the front wheels would wobble like mad until I slowed way down. The problem turned out to be a loose & badly worn pittman arm: the splines where the arm attaches to the steering box output shaft were worn/rounded beyond belief! Replaced arm = problem solved.

Replying to: wpalkowski (Feb 17, 2007 3:47 am) No ,I could not figure it out. After a week of trying , on the way to the dealer the problem resolved itself. Just decided to start engaging on demand. Of course being that it was now working all the dealers diagnostics could not pick up any problems. All the dealer could determine was a low battery situation so they charged it up and called me to come get it. I know this will happen again.I have had this unit 10 months and it still has less than 5000 on it.I love my Fords , but this gives me pause. This is the second now with mysterious electronic glitches .Plus, I still miss my 04 F250 diesel. It had issues also but what an awesome machine. Thanks for the input.
#377 of 551 A minor but annoying radio problem '91 F150 by jimmj43 Feb 23, 2007 (3:26 pm)
The LCD readout dial has 2 "intensities": Dim for night driving which "happens" when the headlights are turned on, and bright for daytime driving (headlights off). My radio dial/clock refuses to come out of dim mode. Consequently I can't glance at the (preferred) clock display for a time-check, I have to pull up my sleeve to look at my watch. Short of swapping out the original equipment AM/FM Cassette radio, is there a way to kick-start the radio/clock display into behaving properly?
#378 of 551 ^Same truck & same guy^ '91 F150 - new problem by jimmj43 Feb 23, 2007 (10:57 pm)
The ignition switch apparently decided to disintegrate. With the truck running after a rescue mission to pick up and drop of some stranded friends, I shifted (auto tranny) to reverse and the engine died. ?? I put it in park and tried to restart. There was no "feel" of resistance in turning the ignition key, and, naturally, since it was nearly midnight, cold and windy, it wouldn't turn on the starter. But the heater blower kept running. I've had the truck less than a month and the feel of the ignition switch has seemed 'stiff', but I chalked it up to this crummy, cold weather. Until tonight. I went to the AutoZone site and found a text description (no line drawings or photos) of what's involved in changing the switch. It SEEMS entirely too easy! Experience suggests I should invite tips before I proceed. Anybody?
#379 of 551 New owner by lawman1967 Mar 07, 2007 (9:41 am)
Probably buying my F150 today. Just a basic model that will be used for commuting and household item hauling.   Does anyone have any experience with the V6/automatic combination? I test drove it extensively yesterday and it had plenty of power for what I need, just want to know about reliability. Replies to this message: cleanerpro (Jun 16, 2007 7:14 am)
#380 of 551 F150 SMOKE from hood sitting still by sledford Mar 13, 2007 (9:15 am)
I parked my 1997 Ford F150 4.6L truck this morning.Smoke started coming from passenger side firewall.I opened the hood and smelled like a heater hose had busted.Took it to a mechanic and he said he would have to remove the head,that a hose had busted that ran through the head.Does this sound right? He wants $500.00 to fix it?
