I've a 2004 F150 bought new 50k miles same problem.Went back to dealer once they reprogrammed computer that was fine then the driveability problem came back.Dealer hasn't a clue.I tried the Hypertech programmer recently,truck kept stalling at stops so reprogrammed to stock. The truck is an excellent highway cruiser but around town where we drive the most not so good.As with any make if you get a good one you are lucky.
I am awaiting new Chevy redesign.No more Fords.

Have you checked to see that all of your other pulleys, e.g water pump, alternator, A/C, etc. are all turning freely? The shredded belts may only be a symptom of a different problem.

I just had my replaced on a '98. It took out the water pump and a few other things. My VERY good mechanic said it's just "one of those things" like a timing chain. You just don't know when they're going to go. He also said that the bolts down at the chrankshaft pully have a tendancey to losen over time because of the aluminum block and just snap when lose enough. 113000 miles. total cost to repair 275.00. Not losing sleep over it.#14 of 252 F-150 Throttle cable Loose by jib71

I have 97 Lariat and recently i noticed play in the throttle cable that i don't recall being there before. When i look at the gas pedal i see about 1 inch of play before the pedal actually begins to pull on the cable. Is it possbile for this cable to stretch? Is there an adjustment i am overlooking?. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.#16 of 252 94 F150, V8 5.0L Running Rich Cyls 1-4 only by wilvelas

Hi everybody, I've got a problem. I have a 94 Ford F150 with the 5.0. The truck has been sitting for a while and was just given to me (as long as I can make it run). Here's the problem. When the truck is started, idle is up around 1500 RPM, and it starts to settle down, once it hits about 800RPM it begins to backfire and the engine literaly jumps around in it's mounts (very bad misfire). I recently replaced spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap & rotor, and the car continues to behave in the same manner. One thing I've noticed is that the right bank (cylinders 1-4) is running extremely rich. I can tell for two reasons, when the spark plugs are pulled out, they are wet, black, and smell of gasoline, the right bank is more of a silvery "new" look. Also, if I let the truck run for a few minutes, give it some gas, the right catalyst begins to glow red.I really haven't a clue how to proceed. A friend of mine tested the fuel pressure and it appears acurate within the specifications (about 42 psi) while idling (even when it gets really rough). Any help or ideas is appreciated. Thanks.
