I'm trying to buy a leveling kit off of a friend but he has a 2009 F-150. I have a 2008 Limited F-150.Was curious to know if Ford still kept the same spring and shock design from 2008/2009.
The passenger and middle seat our connected, which means if you pull the passenger seat up or back the middle goes with it, and the driver seat is it's own bucket seat, if that makes sense. I can't seem to find seat covers for it.
As I have the truck on park or as I'm on a stop light the truck starts shaking. But it gets worse when I get up to speed the the truck runs fine till I need some more power then it starts shaking again. At times it feels like the transmission is going bad but I took it in and they told me that it was not that, but that it could be a bad ignition coil. What do you guys think? I cleaned the egr valve and it did not fix anything.
2005 Ford F150 with the 5.4L V8 Triton Engine. 98,000 miles.
About a month ago while I was towing my small boat up a hill, my check engine light flashed on and off for about 20 seconds, and if felt like I lost a bit of power. I know this is bad, so I exited the freeway. As I slowed down the light quit blinking so I continued home and the truck drove like normal. The truck continued to drive like normal for the most part over the next couple of weeks. It developed a whine in the engine that sounded like there was a belt/pulley issue. After about a week (since the check engine light came on), I brought my truck into my regular mechanic to inspect the noise. He poked around and said he could not really tell exactly where it was coming from (nor was he able to pull any codes). He told me to continue driving it, and bring it back in if it got any worse.
Added (1). About a week after that while trying to accelerate onto the freeway (uphill again), I noticed that my truck was not accelerating like normal. When I stepped on the gas, it did not have its normal get up and go. I floored it and the truck started to sputter, and again the check engine light flashed. This time though when I slowed down, it quit flashing and stayed on. I immediately turned around and headed back to my mechanic.
Added (2). He was able to pull a code (06147 I think) that said something about being lean on bank 2. I left my truck with him, and the next day he told me I had 2 problems. The first was a misfire in one of my cylinders (the codes wouldn't tell him which one), and secondly he said that he tried to locate the sound of the whine, but after pulling every belt and pulley off the engine, the truck was still making that sound.
Added (3). He thought that after listening with his stethoscope, that it was coming from inside the engine block. My mechanic said he really didn't have the tools to work on the problem from here, so he advised me to take it to my local Ford dealership.
So I brought my truck into them. Since I had two problems (the lack of power and the whine), they charged me a double fee to diagnose the problem.
Added (4). After a couple of days, they called me back and told me that 3 of my cylinders were bad and my spark plugs, boots, and air filter needed to be replaced. They also said that the whine was coming from a leak in the exhaust manifold. A day later they called back and said that they discovered another smaller leak on the left manifold and it needed to be replaced too. So I approved them to fix both those issues.
Added (5). After a couple more days they said my truck was still not ready because the check engine light kept coming on and they weren't sure why. They said they would need to "drive it quite a bit" to figure out why. Today they called me back and told me that my truck will not go over 30mph and that it was my catalytic converter and that it too needed to be replaced.
I have a 1993 Ford F-150 5.0. I have replaced the following, E4OD Transmission, battery, core deposit(2), fuel filter(twice), both fuel tank(it has two), and the distributor.
My truck ran fine after all these were replaced.
Starting about 2-3 months ago it would not start after a short drive(to the store, school etc) until I let it sit for 10-20 minutes. It only did this after short rides, then it started doing it more often my buddy actually jumped me and it worked the second he attached the jumpers. Yesterday it died at the gym before work and my brother had cables from his truck on it for 20 Minutes. It did nothing all the electronics work including the light which means the battery is fine. The truck doesn't even try to crank just a click. I hear the fuel pumps turn on so I don't think its that either. Any suggestions?

How to connector the heater outlet tube on ford f 150 4.2 liter engine?
Okay, I have an 1987 ford f150. Here recently I been having transmission trouble ( the last two days.) When I go to crank the car and put it into reverse it does it just fine but when I go to put it into drive it takes a minute or two to engage. Once the truck it warmed up the transmission is fine. Is it because the last two days have been cold and the transmission is old so it might need a little more time to get the fluids flowing? Its never done this before.
I have an older model Ford F-150. 4.9 manual transmission. Recently it started acting up. First start of the day it cranks perfectly. However, if I drive 5 minutes down the road and shut it off. Start it back up the battery acts like it's dead for a minute then starts. After it sits for awhile it cranks normally again. I put new plugs, wires, battery, starter and alternator in it a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas?
