Topic: Truck forum anyone?

[boatsdickson]

Since the k8 is still broke, and I received the gift of a truck from the family, Id like to find a good truck forum to lurk around. Any suggestions from members b4 I start diggin on my own?

Anything wrong with it? There should be plenty of ford truck forums out there.

geez, nice gift!

i'm jealous, i still had to pay 300 for my junker from the family.

i see one thing wrong w/ it, rbmg... its not lifted.     oh, and it has a topper.       just messin' boats.

I have a 95' F-150 4x4....... Virtually the same just different front grill etc.

Auto-loc hubs can be a PITA, and the EFI can be a bit tricky to diagnose but generally a solid truck. If it has the 4.9litre six (300 cid) than watch for head gasket issues, but the 5.0 litre and 5.8's are pretty solid but I've seen a few spin bearings with high mileage (200 - 300 k)

Forums are endless for these, here are a few:

...I haven't ever been on these forums and doubt they're anything as good as this one.

I've had mine for quite a while so If you have anything particular to ask you can try me

Hey Boat, if you have any trouble with it or specific problems by all means you can send a question my way as well. I'm not too shabby when it comes to truck problems seeing as it's a major recreational thing in my area.

Thanx all. Nothins wrong as of yet w/ it except for a blown fog lamp but thats trivial sh1t. I was lookin for a forum to browse looking for potential problems that will come in the future but thats probably a hypochondriac sort of thinking.

The only question I would have at this time is the speedometer vs. oversized tires. Im running Coopers now 31x10.50RLT. That doesnt make a lick of sense to me. The spare tire is a 235/75R15. Without a Chilton Im not sure what was original and how far the mph's are off. & after that, how does it get corrected?

Thanx Matt, Ill look into one of those forums in time.

& now that theres is a truck in the family, Ill expand my search for the k8's replacement case and go get it myself.  Yipppeee
