1998 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Good light duty truck that is stylish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
33,000 Problem with IAC sticking replaced under warranty.
40,000 Door cracks appeared repaired
by dealer as a goodwill.
45,000 Disc pads worn out.
50,000 Pittman arm failed.
66,000 So much for the 100k tune up this was costly 562.00.
70,000 Disc pads shot again.
96,000 EGR toast.
101,000 Rear seals gone.
130,000 new brakes shocks tires.
General comments?
I like this truck and I hate this truck. The paint and body have held up
well, but it always seems to need this or that. I am probably going to trade it sooner than later. But I used to think at 100k plus its just broken in.
Sadly I think On this Ford its just
broken.
