1991 Ford F150 Custom review from North America
"Workhorse, nothing fancy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Couple alternators.
New belt.
Oil pan gasket.
Overhaul transfer case, leaks.
Got hailed out, did major repaint and repair, some rust was fixed.
Steering gear replaced.
Brakes done, front rotors replaced.
Issue with egr system, used famous restrictor plate to fix it.
Replaced crappy auto-hubs with warn manuals.
General comments?
I like old Ford pickups, this one has treated me pretty good, some repairs done, but your looking at 91000 miles and 12 years of use.
I also pull a smaller pop-up camper with it which does use some things up. The only downfall is the crappy bench seat. And it is a little underpowered when the camper is hooked up.
Otherwise it still is built and looks like a pickup is supposed to look.
