1992 Ford F150 from North America - Comments

Don't ever have to worry about changing the timing chain in this engine, like you do in the V8s. It has no chain, just gear drive (lasts forever).

Unlike the other survey person with the same truck, I have had no troubles. Don't listen to him, he thinks the I-6 is a 302 - everyone knows the 302 is a popular V8. So which engine does he have? And again, he blames Ford for his lack of transmission skills (thinks he is a mechanic). Goes to show you lack of brain cells.

You are exactly right. That guy doesn't know what he is talking about. And as far as I am concerned the 302 is the best V8 ever built. Might not have as much power as say a 351 Windsor, but in my opinion the 302 will last a lot longer. And any Ford will out last a Chevy any day, even if a young boy is driving the Ford and an old man is driving the Chevy.

The 302 had a lot more of a punch than a 300 6cyl, but didn't drink gas like the 351. The best thing about the 302 motor is you can work them hauling stuff all day and then at night go and waste V-6 Camaros and Mustangs. We have a 94 E-150 with a 302, and weighing in at 3 tons this van can waste almost anything. It has transmission problems and when it goes into O/D at 25 mph the 302 keeps going. Bogging, but never stalling.

I agree. I just bought a 92 flareside and I have never had a better truck. I have had chev's and dodges and neither of them compare to the ford. I have had no trouble with mine and expect it to go for quite a while longer.

I recently bought a 92 Ford f150 v8 flare-side extended cab. I wake up everyday and can't believe its mine, All tho it has some problem's such as front gas odometer, passenger door And what I would like to think is vacuum Problem The superiority of the remaining truck is awesome.

My 1992 F-150 has been running great no problems... I paid 2,500 for the 92' about two months ago an it only had 45,000 miles what a steal... My last car was a 93' chevy lumina which was a great car, but gave a lot of problem at the end of it;s run./

I just bought a 1992 f-150 it only has 46,000 on it its makes some noises some time, but all around runs great... I no FORD means either fix or repair daily or found on road dead... what kind of problems am I going to be facing with this truck an generaly how miles to the gallon???..anyone?

I have recently had to retire my '92 f150 after a lengthy run. great vehicle, had it for quite a while. the only true problem with these trucks is that they are very fond of breaking down past approx. 175,000 miles. if you find that components or parts keep failing, or breaking altogether, you're better off letting it go.

Pros: great truck, no real problems

cons: craps out piece by piece at 175000+

Crapping at 175k? Dude that's freaken good. Bad thing is it started breaking at 90k LOL.

These trucks are simple to work on, and parts are cheap. I wouldn't let it go, it's just old and parts will fail like any other car, and Japanese cars have the same thing. I had one with a 6 cyl, and I sold it at 220k miles, and it was still running excellent, and it didn't even burn oil at all, just like a new car.
