#58 of 67 Oil Change intervals by hd82 Apr 03, 2008 (7:35 am)
What is "Purple Oil" and is the interval mileage different than conventional oil. I was told by another F-250 Turbo Diesel owner he switched to Purple Oil and now instead of changing every 5,000 miles he changes at 10,000 intervals. I have a '07 F-250 Crew Cab LWB Auto with 16,000 miles on it. Have been using conventional oil and it gets costly when you drive 800 miles a week. Would the cost of Purple be justified by the longer interval between changes? Do I need to use a longer life filter? Are there any changes that need to made to anything? Thanks, awaiting any and all help, hd82
#59 of 67 1994 F150 Fuel system questions by wsbford Apr 03, 2008 (9:44 am)
My 1994 F150 has a fuel system problem. Apparently fuel from the rear fuel tank returns to the front tank, causing an over fill. What is the cause of this problem? Does this indicate a problem with the FDM in the front tank or something else? Replies to this message: wpalkowski (Apr 10, 2008 4:37 am) wsbford (Apr 15, 2008 11:20 am)

Replying to: wsbford (Apr 03, 2008 9:44 am) I don't remember exactly how the '94 is set up. I believe there's just a high pressure fuel pump in each tank that's controlled by the dashboard switch and check valves between the two. If the check valve on one pump fails, then that tank gets filled up by the pump in the opposite tank when it's running.       Fuel pumps are accessed from the top of the tank, so you've either got to drop the tank or take off the pickup bed.

Replying to: wpalkowski (Apr 10, 2008 4:37 am) Thanks for the info., didn't want to purchase a costly fuel pump assembly without being sure.
#62 of 67 2000 F150 timing Belt/Chain by egreen3 Aug 15, 2008 (11:00 am)
I have a 2000 F150 with the 5.4L V-8 and closing in on 100k miles. I don't see anywhere that a timing belt/chain replacement is recommended at a particular interval like some cars at around 100k. Is that right? Replies to this message: nvbanker (Aug 15, 2008 1:20 pm)

Replying to: egreen3 (Aug 15, 2008 11:00 am) Timing chains do not normally need replacement.
#64 of 67 How can I program the keyless entry pad? by jeckstein Jan 16, 2009 (4:29 am)
Got a 05 F150 with the keypad on the door but I don't have the factory code to re-set it. The dealer wants to much money. Any ideas? Replies to this message: hd82 (Jan 16, 2009 6:54 am) nvbanker (Jul 15, 2009 9:41 am)

Replying to: jeckstein (Jan 16, 2009 4:29 am) Good luck! I have the same problem, no factory card. I took my F-250 into the dealer for service and figured as long as they had it hooked to the computer perhaps they could get the code for me. Not on your life, thats an $80.00 extra charge to punch in a few keys and get the damn thing! Replies to this message: nvbanker (Jul 15, 2009 9:41 am)

Replying to: hd82 (Jan 16, 2009 6:54 am) If your dealer is nice, likes you, or you know someone there, they'll help you out. Otherwise, this is a service they provide for a fee, and personally, I'll pay $80 for the convience of using the keypad, and have done so, anytime. In fact, I'm pretty sure I paid $100 for the code once.   Hell, $80 won't fill the tank on these trucks, don't be so cheap! You're talking one tank of gas.
