1990 Ford F150 xlt larait review from North America
"Needs more performance,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear main seal is leaking and been fixed repeatedly the crank has play in it the bearings are worn so the engine needs to be rebuilt, This truck has almost every aftermarket item and then some to make it faster. Problem is it's a 1990 2 wheel drive AOD automatic and has speed density limiting the power capility. The input shaft needs to be upgraded when I plan to exceed 350 hp also the fuel lines need to be upgraded to exceed 350 hp. Hopefully ford will start making the 2004 lighting motors factory in all there series trucks, but hey that would be to easy.
General comments?
Love the truck and now I am dumping more money into it, to build the 5.0 to get around 325 + hp and still use the speed density.
