What would you recommend?

What would your recommendation be for deal with the rust on this truck bed? Looks worse than it is. It’s all surface rust. Want to get it cleaned up and then do the paint bed liner from LMC.

Truck honks twice when locking with my FOB

Hey yeall, I have a 2014 f-150 5.0 extra cab. When I lock the truck with my FOB the horn honks twice as if there is a door open. I’ve checked over and over that all doors are closed. Has anyone had issues with this, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance.

A friend brought his 1969 Ford Truck to visit our 1940 building. Couldn't pass up the photo opportunity.

Thinking about trading for a 2015 Ford F150 XLT 103k miles

Hey everyone, as the title states I am thinking about making a trade for a 2015 Ford F150 XLT with 103.5kish miles on it. My Audi has 73k miles genuinely 0 issues which is why I'm a bit hesitant. I do need a truck as I will be doing landscaping this spring, I also work a job as a Autobody tech, so I need to lug my tools around often which just isn't realistic in my small Audi. What's your opinions on the 2015 F150 XLT EcoBoost? (3.5 twin turbo) any major issues I should be worried about or are the usually reliable motors? Truck drove like a truck should, idles well, and started right up on a cold start. It does need a big detail which isn't serious, also has a huge crack in the windshield, so I'll need to get that replaced, and it does have hail damage on just the hood so I'll have to switch out that hood nothing to major especially since I work at a Autobody shop, all cosmetic. Would you guys make this trade? It's the miles that scare me the most. (Sorry if I chose the wrong flair didn't know what to put.)

Help with hood struts

Got a new hood and wanted to get some hood struts before i put it on and not have to deal with accidentally bending it. I know there is kits out there for like 30$ but I saw that obs solutions and complete performance had a hood kit but it is quite pricey. I just like the sound of the pricier one if it means my hood will sit more flushed instead of getting a cheaper one which would push my hood up or have placement issues, but if anyone knows any other solutions please let me know, thank you!

Possible exhaust leak into cab?

2000 F250 5.4

I noticed that I have an exhaust smell in the cab of my truck, mostly with the heat on. I'm thinking I have the exhaust leaking into my cab somehow. If it matters that much, I'm missing my muffler. How can this be fixed IF the exhaust is leaking into the cab and how can I test for it?

2017 Ford f150

I have been having issues with my truck, the key will not start the truck it takes about 20 minutes of turning it over to finally start. The battery is fine in the key, same with the truck. The remote start on the truck also works fine. I’m not sure whether it would be the ignition or the key or something else entirely.

2013 Ford f150 3.5 eco boost engine running rough

What causes the engine to shake seems like rpm's are low at idle and almost turns off. I've checked and clean all spark plugs and ignition coils. Keep getting code P0017.

Carburetor Suggestions

Good evening everybody, I have a 1977 Ford F250 with a 400 M engine. I would like to add some extra power to it without ripping apart the motor. Does anybody have any suggestions for some minor things I can do to it to give it some more power? I've also been looking at carburetors recently but I am not sure which one to pick or what brand either. I'm not super concerned about fuel economy, I would just like to have some more power out of it. Thank you guys for your time!

To buy or not to buy

I’ve been a Chevy guy my whole life and I’m looking to switch to the blue brand. I’m looking at an 05’ F350, 6.0 L power stroke diesel, lariat, 69k miles. KBB says $14k to $18k and dealer has it advertised for $22k. I’m wondering what owners of this truck think and any common issues or maintenance I should be aware of. Should I get a different year F350?

F350 backup camera

My backup camera stopped working on 2014 F350. I did some research and read that a shorted wire harness is often the cause. I got a new one off Amazon and replace and nothing. Recently I bought a new camera off Amazon and replaced that and still nothing. I even checked the fuse and it’s good. Not sure what to do besides taking to the dealer. Thoughts?

Rear end / possible driveshaft wobble

For context, I’m getting a bad wobble at speeds above 5mph, and it gets worse as I go , when I am on the throttle it’s not bad at all , what could be the cause? And could this be it? And if it’s not the reason for it , is it a result of something wrong? I know it’s probably a dumb question, I feel like there should be more than just 2 bolts holding it up, but anyways , could this be why I’m wobbling so bad?

Vintage F250 Crew Cab roof - what is this?

What is this stuff in the channel of the roof? Driver's side is completely missing. Any reason I cannot just remove the semi-soft stuff? My current thought is to remove it, prep the exposed metal and paint it with some liquid bed liner. You cannot really see this from ground level unless you are over six and a half feet tall. Thanks for any info / suggestions. Cheers!

460 EFI cam and heads

In about a month I’ll be picking up a 1990 F250 5speed 4x4 with the 460efi. It’s completely stock with only 100k miles.

I’m planning on doing headers, exhaust (mild, not neighbor-haters, but definitely better than stock), and probably the low profile throttle body kit from 460efiguys. I would like to do a cam and heads, but don’t want to bother with having to upgrade internals. I’m not looking to make it into a major racing engine or drag truck, I just want something that sounds good and can get out of its own way.

What would be a good “mild” cam and good heads? I have zero idea on either. Thanks.

97 F250 HD OEM Wheels

I have a full set (5) wheels that came with my 97 F250. They’re in pretty good condition. Is there a market for these OEMs and do you have any idea what they could go for?
