So now to my next question, is there any way to check the trans controler to what tranny should be in the truck? On the morning of June 5, 20007, the vehicle appeared fine until she heard the neighbors screaming. The failure and current mileages were 125000. While parked he noticed flames from underneath the hood of the vehicle. The first one was replace at somewhere around 50 or 60k and was changed by the local Ford dealer so I would think that the serial numbers would match. You need to basicly understand that the trans is controlled electically by operating internal solenoid valves to route and control gear shifting and applying fluid pressure to internal channels for routing to clutch servos etc. I called around to see what a replacement tranny would cost and found out that there were two different ones install and they are not interchangable. The vehicle was completely destroyed.
Now as for any of the others that were put in I have no idea if the guys that worked for my grandfather would have known to check these numbers. Right rear spark plug blew completely out on trip from wyoming to vermont. Come to find out this a common problem on triton v-8 engines. I can't remember all the codes that dealt with the engine but I do know that the computer was showing lean on one side of the engine and rich on the other. The current and failure mileages were 86,000. Guys I'm at a stand still. The spark plugs were torqued in using a torque wrench, but work loose with time.
I know that this is happening on many trucks like mine. I've had my 2000 4x4 f-150 for about a year and a half. Came in this afternoon and went and cut the wires out from behind the bell housing. My grandfather was an avid duck hunter and would go through water crossings past the bottom of the doors. I understand Ford will not take responsibility for repairing and or reimbursing a customer for their expenses. The contact discovered six foot flames rising from underneath the hood.
It has 236,000 miles and is in decent shape. The witness said the truck sounded like the engine was cranking. First you need to list all the codes present, then begin addressing each one. Did you ever have this problem before? As even Ford has changed the design of newer 5. Other than that I would have to overhaul the engine and chane that.
The following chart shows the number of problems reported during each of the service years since the debut of the 2000 Ford F-150 in 2000. The fire department extinguished the blaze and two fire marshals filed a report. Then test all the fuses in the engine compartment box. The dealer and manufacturer have not been called at this time, but will be called. I found a replacement o2 harness at work so I can fix that. Should there be a particular fuse I should be looking for? First things first, they swapped the trans for some reason.
When the dealer replaced the head and plugs they found 3 of the 7 remaining plugs loose. I am thinkng some of the sensors might have gotten too hot. I got the truck home. The cruise starting working for about a half hour one day then stopped working again. When I got home straight from the mak haik, the alarm was acting up. If I didn't have the dealer replace the plugs, it would of happened again. The connector was badly melted as well.
You are working with unknowns. I don't know if it would not pull or what. It will not run very well and if left long enough the engine will die. It went into gear and drove for about 100 yards then just quit. From reading various Ford forums and message boards, this is a known problem that Ford should be held accountable for on the 4.
Now on to the engine. For more information, refer to this page:. The police were also present. Why is Ford not being forced to take responsibility for this failure? I also was wondering why I would still have both oxygen sensors bank 1 and 2 sensors 1 faulty. A pinch resulting in a ground will blow the fuse if the lead has 12 volts on it. Warranty just expired in June but still have only 21,000 miles on my truck.
