1989 Ford F150 Custom review from North America
"Great all around truck!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt front end (ball joints) at 70K.
New AOD tranny at 80K (own fault to heavy load).
Valve cover gaskets at 100K.
Swapped up to a Detroit Locker rear end at same time as the tranny.
General comments?
Only discrimination I have is the 89 - 90 F150's seem to have a bit too small of rear brakes. Have remedied the problem by putting motor sport "Explorer" rear disk brakes on.
