I hate my 92 F150... so much.
Here's the problem I'm most concerned with: My clutch engages right off
the floor. Causes me to stall quite a bit when pulling out. Quite
annoying. What do you folks think the problem might be, and is it
anything I could do anything about myself? I'm quite broke and quite in
debt, so anything I can try myself would be best.
All those other problems I'm having, for your amusement (or if you feel
like taking a stab at any):
Heater doesn't work (not fun in north central Pennsylvania)
Front fuel pump no worky
Rear fuel tank quite leaky - not dripping, but always wet, and I also
saw it stringing down to the unoccupied spare holder the other day. |

Look at the heater core; one of the easest to remove BTW- Had on in the shop |
that would get a blast of warm air, then cool, the core was restricted
(under 50$)

Most likely bad fuel pump |

My spare tire caused it to rust out. Trace the fuel to the source- perhaps
the fuel pump access point. If the leak goes away as the tank goes down,
then that's not it-- trace it to the leak

Can't find the leak. However, my tank is very low, and it's a lot less
wet under there than it was before.
On top of all that, as I was driving around town today, the clutch
pedal was hesitating to come back up. A few times, I had to pull it up
with my foot. It's also now getting tough to shift, and we're grinding
into reverse.
I was absolutely amazed at the amount of rust under my truck, though. I
really don't think it should have passed inspection, and probably
wouldn't have, if it weren't for the fact that my mechanic is the one
that sold it to me. Even the rear bumper behind the license plate is
rusted through. About the only thing not rusted to hell is the muffler
and exaust.
I was just poking around under the hood, and saw something that looked
quite odd next to the transmission. I got underneath, and sure enough,
it's a hose that goes nowhere. As I was inspecting this
hose-to-nowhere, I noticed the transmission is leaking, front and back.
Yummy brown stuff, I'm assuming transmission fluid, unless of course
the slave cylinder actually is leaking and it's brake fluid. Back is
wet, front had a small wet spot (size of a quarter, we'll say) on the
stone underneath, and a half a drop waiting to build up enough for
gravity to take over.
I despise this truck.

apparently didn`t even look at it at all. so quit your bitching. you only

No adjustments on a Ford clutch - Sounds like the pressure plate ie weak
Are you playing some sort of semantic game? Of course a cable/linkage
can be adjusted.
"Read: You cannot prove your accusation."
Your words, my words, your words.
The first paragraph has you say there is an adjustment.
The second paragraph was basic and to the point. I pointed out that there
were no adjustments on a ford. I should have clarified "ford truck". My
mistake. At that time no other comments were needed
Note the 3rd paragraph. you then tell me there is an adjustment. Accusation
proved.

Not proved. As seen, nowhere do I state that you don't anything about
ford clutches. Nowhere have I attacked you, or your knowledge. You sir
wanted to start something, that's is clear as day. You saw an
oppertunity to be a smart ass and sized it.
Oh, should I include something about your fast response being something
too?
Your accusation that I attacked your automotive knowledge exists only in
your head as some lame attempt to claim you were 'wronged'. Now take your
own advice and grow up. You weren't wronged, you weren't harmed, you
weren't insulted. |

If someone is so stupid that when they open the hood they can't tell the

should seriously reconsider taking a wrench to their vehicle.

Like I stated, he could have just posted 'that model has a hydraulic
clutch'. But noooooo..... |
