Horny Truck when wet

mooner7 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:37:05 GMT

I have a 08 F350 4X4 with a 6.2 L engine. The problem is whenever I wash the truck or if it gets rained on the horn starts to blow all on its own. Becomes a little embarasing in traffic in the rain. Any ideas as to what would cause this.

Tow Capacity

motofabio — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:14:05 GMT

I'm looking for the tow capacity for a 1996 F250 XLT 7.5L V8 SuperCab Long Bed. Not sure of the gear ratio. Does anyone have a tow capacity list for 1996? I only have lists going back to 1999.

Thanks!

2004 F150 steering issue/popping noise

BTAAA — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:47:43 GMT

I need to observe this issue a little more to give better details, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway.

I have 2004 screw 113k that is making a popping noise when turning. It's intermittent, sounds like it's coming from the steering column, and I think it only pops once.

At first I thought it may be a multi-function switch issue, however I'm also just noticing today that my steering wheel is hard to turn at higher speeds. It almost acts like it's locking up when I try to shift lanes on the highway.

I'm wondering if the two are related and if the popping noise is really originating from the gear box, with the sound maybe moving up through the steering shaft (?)

Multiple Computer Codes - 2002 Ford F150 4.2L Engine

2002 Ford F150 4.2L Engine

The OD light is blinking as well and the CEL is of course ON.

Doesn't all that showing up at once indicate that the main engine computer (ECU, ECM, PCM, etc..) is probably fried?

Have any of you seen all these codes on your truck and it was the computer or was it actually ALL or 1 of these items?

I have recommended he try a new used computer. What ya'll think?

Curiously enough the shop told him that his catalytic converters were bad (2 shops said that), but that really was quite unbelievable to me. He has about 140k miles on it too.

hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm in dire need of some help. I'm getting rid of my Explorer for an F-150 FX4 with 95,900kms on it. Is this a bad buy? I was told never to buy a used ford with 100,000kms on it. Please help me, I don't want to buy the wrong truck.

F250 ride quality

brian1 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:00:20 GMT

I have a 2005 F250 6.0 with a short bed. I realize that the short wheelbase is an issue, but does anyone have any ideas about improving the ride. WHile towing (750 lbs tongue weight) the ride on concrete freeways is just terrible. I have stock shocks and thought it would be worthwhile to soften the rear springs. Any thoughts?

Horrible Vibration on highway!

juicy256 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:42:50 GMT

Hey just a quick newbie question, today I was driving down the highway about 60mpg and my 03 f-150 started to vibrate very badly, I mean I though the tire was going to fly off. So I pulled over had a look and everything looked fine, so I kept driving everything seemed fine again.

My tires on my drive axle are different brands with slightly different wear, would this be enough to start the vibration or what else could this be?

Thanks appreciate it.
