1991 Ford F150 4.9 inline 6 300 cu.in. from North America

Summary:

This is a great truck

Faults:

There are some issues with the old EGR system components, which I think are causing a lean mixture problem, resulting in a bit of rough running at lower speeds in first and second gear. With the age of the vehicle, that is to be expected, I guess. I am about to replace plugs and wires, and continue to search for non/poorly functioning EGR system parts.

I have replaced the starter, O2 sensor, heater hoses, distributor cap and rotor.

I had a brake line fail because one of the fuel filter clamps under the driver's side of the cab rubbed a hole in the metal line. When I bought the truck, it had and still has a non functioning A/C (bad compressor), and I needed to disconnect the A/C wiring at the accumulator to allow the heater/defrost to work correctly.

Also the forward gas tank has malfunctioned and the previous owner disconnected it from the line.

I repaired the window cranks as well, as the side window glass mechanism inside the door wasn't holding onto the glass... the glue they used at the factory had given up the ghost.

I had a problem with the battery not charging... found that where the positive battery cable lead connects to battery post was corroded inside the connector... not around the post as is usually the case... changed the connector... no problem since.

General Comments:

I love this truck! It is dependable, carries a load with no strain, moves on down the highway like it would like more room on the speedometer, and is really comfortable to drive for long distances. It is tough and durable. I'm 69... I plan on driving it the rest of my days, Lord willing.

300/4.9 Inline Six. Nuff said. One of the best EVER Ford engines. Enjoy :)

1991 Ford F150 Custom 4.9 300 inline six cylinder from North America

Summary:

Dependable

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I have been very pleased with this truck. Not a single thing has gone wrong with it, unless you count a flat bald tire while off-roading it.

It has 2:42 gears in the 8.8 open rear axle, and 65 MPH is 1500 RPM. My last fill up was 20.3 MPG.

It was a nice looking truck until three pine trees and a power pole fell on it in the last big storm, but I still drive it daily. Regular maintenance has been done and the motor is strong. I am almost sad to know I am stripping it down for parts for my 89 Bronco, and the very high mile motor from the F150 is going straight into my Bronco.

1991 Ford F150 XLT Lariat 5.0L from North America

Summary:

Great truck

Faults:

Water pump had been replaced.

General Comments:

This was a gift from my uncle and is my first vehicle. I love this truck, and it has ran great for me, and besides the water pump, tires, and other basic things, it is completely original.

The one thing I have changed is the exhaust, which is now dual 24 inch Glasspacks. Sounds awesome. It's worth buying, and I plan on keeping it as a project truck forever.

1991 Ford F150 XLT V8 351 from North America

Summary:

I needed a 4x4 for the bad weather, and this fit the bill

Faults:

I had to replace a sliding window latch.

Had a cracked manifold bolt replaced.

Some minor interior repairs. And removed a canopy and found a more aerodynamic model.

Old owner let it sit for 3 to 5 years without starting, so I got a tune-up and inspection. Oh, I did not pay but $205.00 for the truck.

The bed liner is great, but the color is ugly, so I will change that.

General Comments:

The truck handles great, the cab needs cleaning up, and I need to drive it more often than the previous owner. With dual tanks, this is a great truck for camping, and I mean real rough camping.
