Hi Randy I watch your videos every time my new one comes up I'm a big fan of watching your your videos I love all the the vehicles that you do the walkarounds of the auctions and the videos you show of all the cars that you have gotten now on this immaculate Ford F-150 that you got replacing that ignition switch is easy all you got to do is take the plastic trim around the column off and take your screwdriver turn it forward to release the lock pin on it and be able to pull that whole cylinder out and put a new one in with new keys I've done many of them in the past of vehicles that I've done especially my 97 Ford expedition so good luck and keep the videos coming I love watching the videos

I really like the truck. And to watch you get it running was really cool. I get very frustrated with the electrodigicals. You make it look easy. Another awesome video. 👌

[@mahatma171]

These old Ford trucks are great. This one with no rust needs to be put back in service. The body is worth the money spent, the main enemy of these trucks is rust. Give it a few more years and the price of these is gonna shoot through the roof, like the bullnose Fords are beginning to do now.

[@davidhicks7450]

Good potential, with a little tlc, to make a good useable truck. I have bought, repaired, and sold vehicles for a little over 50 years. An ignition lock cylinder replacement real simple, much easier than changing steering column. Most any Ford product from 1970s to early 2000s will interchange. Rough idle due to ECM relearning idle, will improve more with driving. Congrats on your KZbin success. Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

[@super6954]

To be honest I quit watching your video's when you started buying all the fancy toys every other week, But I've recently found you doing these rent a wreck trucks and I'm enjoying these video's. I've had an 89, and 94 f150 with high miles on they didn't look much but they ran far longer than anything way newer from Ford with less problems. My current trucks a high mileage 99 7.3 F250 its the same nothing to look at but I wouldn't be afraid to drive a 1000 KM in it right now. Thanks for the video's take care.

[@nascar-fanjunkie5062]

Definitely a gem. Fix that ignition and the coil, fix the leaks in the trans if there is any major leaks and where ever it’s leaking motor oil if it is leaking. Bet your money you could get back your money on that truck Randy! Very nice little truck. Lots of people love going after those square body fords! 😊

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

I had a 93 Super Cab with a 5.8. Great truck! I drove it for years. I sold it to my neighbor at 270,000 miles. His Dad drove it for a couple of more years, then a friend of his who lives in Mexico had his truck break down. He gave the truck to him. Last I heard it still runs. Hard to kill those old Ford trucks.

[@VikingDudee]

As a ford Mechanic, the Oil pressure sensors in them are fake, They are pretty much just a sensor that tells you if it has oil or not, and its not even accurate if the sensor is old and dirty. Ford did that from the late 80s to around 2015, and them 2008 and newer Econoline vans, you don't need oil in the system for the gauge to even work, them vans they are just in one position all the time when they run. You can see the gauge doesn't move at all with any sort of throttle response, but does respond quite a lot with a scan tool if the tool can read oil pressure from the computer.

[@RickMiddleton-1]

Randy I had a 95 F150 with the exact 351 in it. You are correct with your assumption, and you are going to need to replace the entire distributor as I did. Mine suffered from the exact symptoms you are currently dealing with. Now you could try the old school remedy for the pick up within the distributor being dirty by spraying brake cleaner or contact cleaner down in the distributor. Depending on whatever state yours is in it could change nothing or you could get another 60000 miles out of it.

[@2koolchris291]

Check for throttle body leaking vacuum. Also noticed the cruise deactivation switch unplugged at the master cylinder and replacing key and tumbler should be easy. If there is a broken piece in the hole, and you can get that out, installing a key and tumbler will be a breeze. I bet the clock spring is bad causing air bag light. I worked on many of these. I think you got a decent deal.

It still could be 75-90k miles just REALLY HARD miles and for me in my opinion even if it needs a trans and engine it's in great shape and you could get a good asking price. I looked up a new ignition and it's $25 so it's not so bad. Don't kick yourself alright it's a beautiful truck and I'd absolutely be proud to drive that..

[@geraldsmith9540]

Randy sir, I think the trans converter was replaced and then whoever did it tried to start it and it didn’t start and they said f&$k it after that and gave up because of the mileage on it. That body and frame are incredibly rust free for a truck that age and that many miles. You didn’t overpay at all for it. You do your thing under the hood and get the ignition and oil pressure gauge fixed, oh and check the exhaust and brother you will make bank and then some. Truck is a classic and I wasn’t expecting the 5.8L under there either, bonus!!! You have a winner. As you always say Randy, mileage doesn’t scare me either. I wanna see one more video and then the finished product. Get that mobile detail company out there before it gets to cold and it will look awesome in and out!!!

[@jaythomasanhk]

[@ifitaintbroke7427]

It's not the actual computer on these that go out. It's 3 caps on the board that start leaking. It's a good idea to change them out even if they haven't began leaking. It's easy to do.

[@adamtoman5855]

I would hope the ignition can just be replaced with out the column being Then would just need the door locks need to be rekeyed. Seems like a pretty decent truck.

Check the condition of the “fresh “ coolant after the drive.

[@lindseythaemert4053]

The thick film ignition module on the side of distributor would be my first guess as far as your where all that trans fluid went see if there's a vacuum line coming up to your oil crankcase on your block somewhere cuz you might not have trans fluid in your engine block that would be the two one things I would check

[@CCWP0251]

You're definitely going to make profit on this truck. They have gotten extremely popular recently, especially those in good cosmetic condition. In regards to the transmission fluid, does this truck have a trans cooler? If so, It may be leaking and mixing in with the coolant.

[@lawrencetaylor5481]

Hey Randy. If this was my truck, I'd put a set of plugs, wires, cap and rotor on it and run a can of Berryman's through her. I'd also maybe throw a TPS on it just for good measure. I don't think you have to change the column, depending on the damage and, can get a matching ignition and door keys from LMC Truck fairly cheap. In fact, here's the part you need from LMC -- 47-0716 IGNITION CYLINDER W/KEYS 92-95 $11.95. One question though, dual tanks, why didn't you try the switch and see if there was gas in the other tank?

[@BoardwalkBullies]

Love the Cougar. Had a few like that one in my early 20's. Used to build them up with Mustang parts. Had one that I swapped a Gen 1 Lightning engine into using a 1993 mustang GT computer and 1995 Cobra R Tremec Transmission (it was that color scheme also). Awesome sleeper and everything goes right in like factory. SN95 suspension brakes and axles also fit perfectly (they are the same size, fox mustangs are slightly shorter and narrower).

Swap tanks! Swap tanks! Nope. Never,I don’t, you made it home. It’s kinda strange it’s running fine now tho…. I don’t think you took a beating on that tuck by any means. $1300 is a pretty fair price for it where I come from. I do think you’re gonna have to put a column in it tho. Looks like they tore it up pretty good when they stole it and idk if you’ll get a new ignition switch in there without some problems. You should be able to find a column pretty cheap. Overall, I’d say it’s a pretty fine old truck that’s got enough for a fella to tinker with to get it back to its former glory yet still in plenty good enough shape to cruise around town in, and probably even turn some heads because it’s pretty damn clean, really and you just don’t see them too often any more.
