Reliability of a 1990 ford f150?

I wrecked my old car and am buying a new car at the end of December when my house is done being built and my credit opens up. I needed a car to get to work for 2 months so i bought a 1990 f150 for $1000 to get me threw 2 months, so far it has driven fine, if i sit still for too long it starts to stutter and sometimes stalls in reverse if i leave it sitting, i was wondering what the chances are of it making it threw 2 months

You could replace the plugs, distributor cap & rotor. To see if this may solve the possible missfire.

It might just need a tuneup

You should make it through years of service Not months, this is a good rig.

  • 2015 Ford Mustang reliability/maintenance? I'm thinking of getting a 2015 Mustang V6 with manual trans. Everyone keeps telling me how unreliable American cars, especially Mustangs, are. But I think if you take care of it, it should run fine. This is a car I'd want to hold on to for a good while and learn to work on myself--but I've heard the 2015's have a lot of electrical components that make working on it yourself more difficult and something you've got to take into the shop. Thoughts please!
  • How to increase reliability on a Ford 300 inline 6? I know people say the Ford Inline 6 is pretty much bullet proof. I have one with 212k Miles and looking to rebuild it when I get some cash. Would Forged internals increase Reliability or just power. Now, if someone can give me a answer that'll make it more reliable and more power, well that's even better.
  • How is ford as compared to toyota/honda, in terms of reliability? I have always heard people saying that toyota (camry) and honda (accord) are really good cars in terms of reliability, less frequency of needing repairs and they can very easily cross 200,000 mile mark. But, does any one know how are Fords (fusion) when it comes to frequency of needing repairs and crossing 200k miles mark?
