It is highly likely a Ford F owner will never run into any of these issues as long as they follow the maintenance manual down to the letter. It is likely that they will be doing that anyway. Truck owners love to keep their vehicles in great shape.
One very rare problem that only ever occurred in the model of the Ford F was a loss of power when driving. It was so rare that few drivers experienced it, and those that did experience it only ever experienced it once or twice. Due to this problem, many people will now steer other drivers away from the model.
The most common issue with the Ford F seems to be related to the transmission, particularly with some of the more recently produced models of the vehicle. A lot of people do find that the transmission shifting feels a little bit rough.
While it may not pose that much of an issue for a while, it is suggested that a prospective buyer of the Ford F has the transmission inspected to ensure that everything is in order. This will keep the transmission running for as long as possible.
There was a transmission-related recall of the Ford F back in This only applied to the model of the vehicle. In the model of the Ford F, there was an issue with the sparkplug. They could often explode out of the engine. However, many people claim that this is an issue that only ever happened to those that were not maintaining their Ford F properly. Anybody that keeps up to date with their engine maintenance is unlikely to ever deal with this issue.
This is a problem that seems to have been rectified with the more recent models. Those that have not properly maintained their vehicles may find that they are running the risk of a head gasket leak once the vehicle is close to the ,mile mark. The high-density materials help, but all that clanging does take its toll.
An engine is essentially a box that contains thousands of little explosions per minute, and channels that power into the wheels. Change your fluids, rotate your tires, and swap out your spark plugs precisely when it tells you to. Basic maintenance habits will help you to get thousands of extra miles out of your engine.
Check your fluids about once a month, or after any long trip, big hauling jobs, and whenever you already had the hood open anyway. Avoid frequent, short trips. If the convenience store is within walking distance, walk there. Get it out on the road at least once a week. That would be my suggestion if your are one of those that doesn't care what he drives. I'm one of those too. Matt; How has your dad's T-bird held up?
Has he had any problems with it? I have a '95 Cougar with the same drivetrain. Current plans are to drive the Cougar to approximately k miles.
Car seems fine except for the infamous tranny shudder. I'm surprised that I have been able to keep her in this car so long. She is beginning to hassle me pretty much everyday about a new minivan or SUV. My 97 F Reg Cab 6 cyl 5 spd just turned over , miles with not one single problem I purchased a new battery at about 70k.
Still runs like new. Paint looks new, interior looks new. It's got something going on in the trans that the mechanics are sure is torque converter lockup so it needs a new torque converter. Its not the shudder thing that is commen on these. It still runs and drives great. Off the top of my head I think the only things that have went wrong on it are the EGR, evaporator canister, intake manifold cracked covered under a recall , and I think a starter or an alternator.
I had a 71' with a , 3 on the tree, , miles and still ran like new when i sold it. The only problem ever was a broken shock bracket on the drivers side radius arm. I have 2 72's both with 's and automatic. One with , and running great, the other is a camo painted rusted out hulk i bought for parts with , miles. It turned out that it ran great so it was taken to the deer lease were it has been for 7 years and has been abused horribly and has been totally reliable.
