Ford F-Series Transmission Problems

How Well do you know 1990 ford pickups?

Written by: getnrdone on Aug 02, 2008 00:12 AM

Can I "bolt in swap" a 5 speed manual transmission (M5R2) into my 1990 Ford F-150 4x4? It has a 4.9 I-6 engine and a Borg-Warner 1345 t-case. Current transmission is a Borg-Warner 1301, better known as a T18. It needs repairs but I'd rather invest my money in getting a 5th gear. I see that the 5 speed was an option for that year but not sure if all will mate up. Bellhousing ... Read More...

I would suggest checking the fuel pressure regulator on the engine. It sounds to me like your regulator is returning most of the fuel to the tank, thus taking longer to shut off, especially since you are having the same problem with both tanks. Mike Read More...

HI 1995 302, CHECK THE TIMING. the harmonic balancer is the sheeve for making everything turn. It has a rubber insert, this insert will slip and change timing. Late timing, more gas, more heat, less power. More heat is the first noted problem. Cats for 95 302 non ford about 300 total (HOUSTON). Replace head gaskets 302 MUSTANG, $3000.

gas tank help

Written by: junkman5 on Nov 03, 2007 03:14 PM

I bought a Ford F150 (1990)used. The back gas tank is no good. I want to remove it anyway, but when I do I can't get the lines run so there's no leak. Is there any way to do this with plastic lines without replacing the whole gas line system? Read More...

I have a 1995 Ford F150 Supercab XLT Lariat 4x4. It has 125,000 miles and is in perfect shape, no rust and runs like new. I've owned it since new. It is like factory fresh, except... I recently replaced the water pump, thermostat, hoses, serpenntine belt and idler, fan clutch and radiator, as well as the temp sender and gauge (earlier). The truck started overheating ...
