Q: ford f150?
ive got a 1995 ford f150 and when i hit the breaks it kinda taps back at me … it didnt start tell i got into a car accident any ideas?

A: It has breaks? I did not know trucks took breaks. Oh u mean brakes! If it taps back at you it does not like your heavy foot, but then again if it were new brakes it would mean your rotors did not get turned.
Since it was in an accident, ask your insurance agent if you should get it checked out. Hopefully, everyone was ok from the accident and that it was not your fault.
Good luck!

Q: 1999 Ford F150 Truck- I replaced the connectors on the battery cables and now it shorts?
I had to cut off the connectors for the battery terminals. I put on generic connectors. Now the battery connection often seems to short out. I bang around on the terminals and the connection comes back to life and the truck starts, but its getting old!
It seems hard to change the battery cables out on a Ford F150 so how do I do a proper connector installation to avoid my problem?

A: sounds like you didn’t get a good connection at the point where the cable go’s into the terminal where the 2 bolts are at. take it apart and clean it really good then put it all back together and clean the battery lugs and inside the new terminals as well with a battery brush. before you put it back together. Make sure the two bolts on the connection are tight.

Q: What is the difference between a ford F150 supercrew and a ford F150 supercab?
I would like to buy some cover seats for my Ford F150 supercrew but I only find cover seats for a supercab . I would like to Know if there is difference between these trucks

A: The SuperCrew has four full-size forward-opening doors, with a full-size rear bench seat; the Super Cab has rear quarter-doors that open in reverse, with a smaller rear bench seat.

If you are buying seat covers only for the front seats, the difference between a SuperCrew and a Super Cab will not matter, since only the rear seats will be different.

You will want to know, however, if the front seats in your F-150 are bucket seats (more common on FX4, Lariat, Harley, and King Ranch) with the console shifter, or a bench seat with the shifter on the column and a flip down center arm rest/console. This may make a difference when buying front seat covers.

Q: How many miles will a ford f150 last before breaking down?
I am interested in buying a ford f150 around 2005. With good maintenance how many miles will this model with last me before breaking down or needing serious work done?

A: “With good maintenance” is the key here. I have a ‘99 F150 (5.4L Triton) with 207K that looks and runs fine, is as dependable as new, and can be driven anywhere, anytime. I perform scheduled maintenance per the manual, fix the “little things” as they come up, and keep the truck clean inside and out. I don’t intend on replacing it anytime soon. I have no doubt it can reach 300K without any major problems.

On the other hand, I’ve seen vehicles that were maintained poorly or not at all that were essentially toast after 30K and a couple of years.

Ford trucks are durable and dependable – they’ve led the market for more than 30 years with good reason. There are a boatload of ’05s to choose from; look for a well-maintained, adult-driven truck, preferably with good service records available for your review. Within reason, odometer mileage is less important on a used truck than on a car.

Good luck!

Q: How does a Ford F150 locate your tools for you?
The commercial that was on during the Yankees/Phillies game 11/1 said the Ford F150 can locate your tools for you. I checked the Ford site and can’t find anything. Was it just supposed to be funny? Or is there some element to the truck that keeps track of tools?

A: Ford offers an optional RFID-based scanning system / toolbox setup (“Tool Link”) on the 2009 and up F150s, Super Duty and E-Series van models. It’s a dealer option, so it may be possible to retrofit it. Basically, you tag your major tools, kits and equipment with an RFID tag and catalog it into the system’s inventory database. Via an in-dash touchscreen (which also offers other business features), the system can tell you whether the tag is present in any of the toolboxes or other scanned locations, and which location it’s in. DeWalt has partnered with Ford on this system, and you can find a pretty good article on their site:

I need instructions for locating and replacing the PSOM (Programmable Speedometer Odometer Module) on a 1995 Ford F150. If someone could walk me through it I would really appreciate it.
Can you tell me where it is located?

A: It would be very hard to ”walk” you through it….you should get a manual from one of the parts stores.

Q: How much does it cost to add a sunroof to a 2005 ford f150 lariat?
I have a 2005 ford f150 and I want to add a sunroof, is that possible first of all? and if so, about how much would that cost? thanks.

A: Indeed it is very much possible… Your best source is likely national or regional chain of automotive glass shops, such as GLASS DOCTOR. Probable cost for the back-flip up variety,manual opening,should be less than $300. You may have size limitations, though. Good luck

Q: What is the best sound system for a 2007 Ford F150 supercrew?
I have a 2007 Ford F150 Supercrew truck and I would like a put a good sound system in it. I would like good quality heart-pounding bass with good speakers to go with it. I have been looking at pioneer brand but i dont know too much. Pricing on the speakers, subwoofers, and amp would be greatly appreciated along with places where i could go to to get them for the best prices

A: I was in your same situation, I just got a Kicker 12″ L5. It pounds hard but its probably not the best sound quality. I would go with JL W7 or W6 series. My friend has a 12W6 in his evo that sounds great. JL makes some great subs in terms of quality but they are not exactly cheap. Then for an amp I would get the Alpine PDX series, they are small, CEA-2006 cerified and they handle same amount of power 2 or 4 Ohm which is great. I have a 600W for my sub and it is awesome. As for places to buy, shops around my city rip you off but you may want to check. Websites include: www.crutchfield.com www.millionbuy.com those two are great, I got my stuff off Ebay and got killer deals.
Check www.JlAudio.com to look at subs. They make boxes that are pre-loaded with subs that are very nice.

A Jl sub and box can be anywhere from about 300-900 dollars

amp you could get for probably 350 max.

If you want to go cheaper I would go with a Kicker pre-loaded box with a CVT or CVR

Good luck man!

Q: Why does my Ford F150 cut off when going in reverse?
I have an automatic 1991 Ford F150. It recently began cutting off when put into reverse and given a little gas. The truck will start up just fine and goes in drive. Sometimes it will cut off if i try to downshift to 1st or 2nd. I replaced the plate and seal on the underside of the transmission as well as a new transmission filter and seal for bottom pan. What could be causing this? Would it have something to do with the throttle body assembly?

A: this is a sign of the torque converter going out, type bad torque converter in your web search box, and read some of the information, there are other possiblilities, mileage on the truck for example helps sometimes in determining possibilities. but stalling when going into reverse, and dieing when pulling up to a stop light are good indicators. Try putting the truck un neutral (CAREFULLY NOT INTO REVERSE!!!!)
as you come up to a stop light or a stop sign, if the truck keeps running the throttle body is fine, the torque converter may be going south while you are going north. good luck hope this helps

Q: How do you replace turn signal bulbs on a 2000 Ford F150 side view mirror?
I have a 2000 Ford F150 Pickup with the optional turn signal indicator at edge of the side view mirror. The bulb has burned out and I can’t figure how to get to where it is. The owners manual does not state how to get to it. Thanks
I realize that the mirror has to come apart, but how do you get it apart?

A: Forget the nonsense of having to remove the whole mirror and follow these instructions. NOTE: All mirrors have two upper clips. Mirrors that are not equipped with optional turn signals have two additional clips.

Access the two upper clips.
Position the mirror glass to obtain a gap at the upper edge of the mirror assembly.

Use a screwdriver or similar tool to release the two mirror cover upper clips

Remove the mirror cover.
Disconnect the signal mirror electrical connector

Remove the signal mirror bulb socket.

Remove the signal mirror bulb.

To install reverse the removal procedure

Install the mirror cover.
If equipped, connect the electrical connector.
Apply sufficient force to the mirror cover until it snaps into place.

Q: Does it cost regular price or extra to paint a ford f150 flat black?
I was looking into the flat black paint job for my 2001 ford f150 and i wasn’t sure if it would cost extra or maybe even less without the gloss. Anyone know?

A: It cost $1200 to paint my car flat black. All the prep work was done by me so it saved some there. Flats don’t have a clear coat so that saves on labor and materials also. If you do flat black your truck, make sure you wash it with dish soap and not car was soap, as lots of car wash soaps have wax in them which will make your car shiny.
