1992 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Solid Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump (4 Times, but my own fault)
Engine oil seal (again, most likely my own fault due to problem above)
General comments?
I see a lot of people complaining about losing the fuel pumps in the dual fuel tank models. This is a common problem since the operator (this means you) actually has to switch tanks when one is low. If you fail to do this, or run the tank until the engine begins to stall, then there is little or no fuel in the tank to cool the pumps, and they will eventually burn out. There are very few pumps (water, fuel, etc) that are designed to run dry. And those that are, are generally less efficient.
My only advice is to switch tanks when the needle goes to empty, don't try to push it.
