I Found The HOLY GRAIL Wheel and Tire Package For The Bullnose!

[@Basespy662]

Craig has got to be one of the beat youtubers ever. He literally made a video of polishing wheels and talking about how good they look and i watched the entire thing

[@Thecraig909]

HAHAHAHA LOVE THAT thanks man!

[@darrellswails1777]

Throw the JC Whitney catalog at it.

[@johnwarren737]

No

[@ElCheyenneazul5.7]

@@Thecraig909 sounds like you need a map sensor my guy

[@wvmetalguitarchannel9283]

Check the ignition control module, when they over heat it will make them break up and shut off completely. When the module cools off it will fire up and run fine till they overheat again. Fat fox sells an ignition control module relocation kit that will do the job, or you can scour pick and pulls and source the parts from later model rangers. Hope this helps you 👍

[@garrison2574]

ditto had to do this on my mustang

[@donovanjones4175]

@@garrison2574my god it made me hate that car, I had a 70 convertible, beautiful when it ran, but,,,

[@3wbasie]

my escort had the same issue and it was the ignition control module as well. Just make sure you bite the bullet and buy the more expensive motorcraft one. I cheaped out at first and it didn't work until I put the motorcraft one in.

[@Byrddawg_601]

You can get brand new tires for a 16.5 whatever size you want from interco. They even started remaking those ground hawgs you showed just under the name cobalt

[@Jmcqueary03]

That’s exactly what I was going to say lol

[@Tanner731]

interco or coker tire

[@anthonyrowland9072]

Honestly just get 16 or 17s and let the 16.5s just become obsolete.

[@murraysteele2240]

Craig should've said Interco, because that's who makes those tires

[@DirtBikeGuy36]

CRAIG! Check your ignition Module!!!!! My 1989 F250 did the same thing to me and that was the issue!

[@jcnpresser]

I worked with a kid that bought one of those trucks and he said it running like crap. I went and looked at it with him, noticed a new map sensor on it. I asked were he got it, he responded parts store. Oh did it take a crap on you, he said no just did it preventively. I said put the old one on it. He did and now it runs fine. It acts like a misfire like the distributor is cutting out, but c could be fuel related if it idle fine but it’s flat. My mustang did that, the little rubber hose in the gas tank burst open and was spraying fuel out the side of it. You could hear it when someone would prime the key.

[@chadscott9138]

This thing is begging for a vintage dual-tube chrome roll bar in the bed topped with KCs

[@gavinfremouw8374]

Pap cap

[@ajhomewood1741]

Absolutely

[@maxfalkner8849]

I couldn't agree Moore😍

[@DigitalForged]

Yeah that would look awesome!

[@erikswensen425]

Craig, I would say either the ignition control module, fuel filter, or fuel tank selector filter inside the selector valve. Your buddy said it wasn't smoking, so it isn't getting enough fuel and running lean. You said with you babying it, it wasn't too bad, which has me leaning to it being more fuel related instead of ignition. Check the fuel pressure and see what it says. Nice truck, I like the wheel tire combo, especially that size. It compliments the era and look of it.

[@raze4789]

Relocate the ignition module. We had a late 80's f350 service truck that did the same thing, built an extension harness, put it in the footwell.

[@DFox-ud3gx]

I had a 1995 Jeep Wrangler back in the day and the o2 sensor was bad starving my rpm and take off . This didn't happen when the mother was cold but later when it was warm up my jeep ran just like your truck losing power. Give this a look maybe this helps .man I like your truck she's sweet.And sets nice Good luck 👍

[@tommymallicoat7550]

Totally dig the look man. I remember in 80-90s that look was all the rage. My bully is still running the og steels and caps with some white letter cooper's. Your vids keep me motivated. Thanks for the inspiration to keep me going. Best of luck.

[@williamspaid7929]

A buddy of mine had a rollback he got from California it had the same problem. We literally changed everything and it still wouldn't run. Until we put a carberater and a one wire distributor on. Good luck with yours.

[@rodneymoore2154]

Good for you to have these guys around because I'm 68 and my guys like this have been around since high school mid 1975 so have fun it never stops best friends.

[@ryurc3033]

One thing that got me on one of these early fuel injected ford trucks was a tps sensor that had varnish from the intake dripping into it hanging it slightly open. Sometimes it wouldn't even start (because it saw partial throttle during cranking, no injector pulse). Just pull it off and make sure it's moving free. I know it was more common on the trucks were the tps sensor bolts on the bottom of the throttle body and not on the side.

[@JasonMyers-c6z]

I've always used "Trucker's Choice" polish on all of my aluminum polishing. It works great, too.

[@greiner7414]

Editing and soundtrack on point! Great looking rig!

[@jacobhart915]

Seems like an ignition control module, when they get overheated or old they get really finnicky

[@kennethnesmith4936]

That bullnose is looking good, I have a 85 f350 crew cab I'm putting back on the road.

[@Rickdoinglife]

Have you checked your fuel pressure? My OBS did the same thing man- I had to change the fuel pumps- I believe the V8's need at least 40 psi edit- I believe you mentioned having to change the fuel filter multiple times- could be the issue- dig the content man

[@John3_16Q]

I personally dont like the side of those bf tires and 16.5 are especially bunk. Looks good though. 16 inch steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps would look the best on any old ford truck

[@philipgagne1852]

Absolutely spot on with that wheel package !! Perfect!

[@jdedmnds1]

The electronics also control fuel delivery.

[@ronweenk]

Such a sweet bullnose. The wheel/tire is perfect 👌 😊

[@garrettlee959]

Interco still makes brand new tires for 16.5’s as well as a few others just not as popular of a size. Mainly due to no safety lip on the rim causing tires to debead moreso than a 15 or 16.

[@timezone4907]

Fuel tank pickup obstruction or the fuel tank selector valve not completely opening or collapsing rubber fuel line or fuel tank vent obstruction. Other than that great looking truck I remember the video of the rescue with your buddy that’s how I found your channel.

[@jeffrey2170]

last time i checked firestone still makes a highway 16.5, you just got to get them from Canada, some service trucks still run 16.5s up there. they are highway tires but its at least something.

[@mrard1]

Love that truck. Would love to have guys like y’all who appreciate those trucks help me with my bullnose here in Vegas.

[@phataj2]

Man. Looks sweet i was born in 79. Always wanted a 79 but i love the look of this.

[@sc00b3y]

Was going to say an old school chrome roll bar with KCs on it. And the KO1’s are iconic especially paired with those sidewinders! 👌 love it Craig!!

[@DigitalForged]

They look so good on that truck it’s making me shed a tear!

[@MichaelsGarage23]

Such a great-looking truck and setup! I agree with you, and this does not need anything. KCs would be cool, and it may be against popular belief, some cab clearance lights, but not necessary. What a great stance and wheel/tire package. Great job!

[@brianward3944]

Cool stuff dig the older trucks

[@A_Den629-qy8tc]

checks the connections and ground on the ignition system ...my boat with a 351 did the same thing when the kill lanyard was grounding in and out. never backfired or blew black smoke almost identical conditions

[@joshuasalvage4717]

Vortrac are made by interco tires. Every model of tire interco makes comes in 16.5. But, they also have a blemish list that I usually shop on. Shhh, don't tell everyone!!!

[@impslap7620]

Super Swamper Makes a set of radials called the Trxus in 33x12.50R16.50 I had a set on a Land Cruiser and they look great and are quiet for a mud tire.

[@johnbrisker5584]

That truck is the perfect candidate for the Holley sniper 2 unit.

[@jeffreycaves2756]

Sound like that could be your tps 17:05 similar thing was happening to me on my truck

[@ryurc3033]

Thats what I thought, tps caked with intake goop. Hanging partially open. Won't start sometimes when that happens too because it kills injector pulse if it sees partial throttle

[@TheFoxShop]

Great purchase and video! 👍

[@qbonpete2279]

Under appreciated channel!

[@ShoGuygames]

I had a 95 F150 that acted exactly like yours does.. It would build perfect fuel pressure too.. But... It would not supply the volume needed for driving.. After replacing the pump and filter.. It ran amazing..

[@tadevenhouse6117]

Those were weld Scorpio’s out in front of your buddies tire shop. I found a set of Weld typhoons in a 16x8.5, with the 8x170 newer ford pattern, got super lucky with the sizing, love the Welds!

[@DanzigDemento]

If a truck ever deserved a respray, it’s this one!

[@Heatshieldproducts]

Amazing looking truck for sure.

[@cobyfield9237]

255/85r16 would look great on a bullnose too. They're the same as what Ethan has on his highboy, can go full lock without scrubbing :)

[@moneygooddude]

Check the plug for setting the timing. That little plug can cause all those problems. Just pull out the plug and it should be fine.

[@davidsabo7125]

Looks good dude!

[@UnsolicitedAdvice-f9n]

I had a 90 F150 that did the same thing. It was an in tank fuel pump gasket with a small crack where it mounts to the tank. It ran great cold but would suck air when it got warm. Hope that helps

[@trkinwithmikey]

Best looking truck on the side of the road

[@chasebrown9851]

The American outlaws are so iconic 5 or 8 lug I loved them so much on my dads 96 f250 I had to pick some up for my 77 f150

[@dash456789]

Makes me glad to know my weld super singles are 16” not 16.5’s 😂 Just bought some K03’s after I couldn’t stand replacing Cooper AT3’s anymore.

[@justlookingaround]

As far as the running and dying out goes , that being the straight 6 fuel injection model and the v8 302 or 351 Windsor oddly enough were all the same when it came to certain issues, and it didn’t matter what vehicle they were in, if I remember correctly my 88 5.0 had a similar issue and yes it’s scary as hell when it happens, I’m pretty sure I remember it being the fuel pump in the gas tank if I remember correctly, either that or a sensor but I can’t remember witch one. It’s been 30 plus years😂😂😂😂.

[@HammerWrench]

Crawled out of the dash hvac job on my 83 bull to watch this. Glad my 8x6.5s are 16” steelies. Was worried there. 🛠️

[@edgardoavitia3600]

I love the truck man! Wheels are looking goooood😮‍💨 don’t give up on it! I have a bullnose as well and have the same problems🥲

[@tlpcamaro1919]

ive got a set of amazing rims that came with my 83 chevy but they're 16.5. I rode the tires it had till one of them blew out the whole sidewall now I just cry as I watch the price of those vortracs go up. If i could find a set of bfg's in the right size id be so happy again

[@davesnothere8859]

those centerlines are next to the tires with the crazy size are way cooler.

[@JOEY_075]

I love how your buddies were giving you shit LOL I love your channel Craig keep up the good work

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Put a fuel pressure gauge on it the is a fuel schrader vale on the fuel rail. when the engine is idling should be 30 psi. Disconnect vacuum hose at the fuel pressure regulator should go to 40 psi. drive it with gauge on your windshield and watch to see if pressure drop below 30psi anything below that replace the fuel pump. also i don't remember the years but there was two fuel filters on some of the trucks. They both mounted on the frame but the second one was inside a black plastic housing with a cartridge filter inside. good luck now fix it.

[@brandonfloyd6321]

Those ground hang tires were canceled years ago. There's a cult following for them. Interco still makes some 16.5 tires. A guy on Instagram takes ford obs alcoa wheels and mills them to make look similar to welds.

[@brandonfloyd6321]

*hawg

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

If you wanna talk rare rims. Try finding a Edelbrock Ultra 454 rim to fit a Ford 5 on 4 1/2. Car bolt pattern. I just need one for a spare on my 1967 Mercury Cougar.

[@ramseykeller5242]

Try the engine control module if it has the 5.0 mine was a 92 but it did that exact same thing but didn’t blow black smoke

[@JacobBowen101]

Buddy love them you just need some center caps

[@ivanandvictoria3994]

Ive had super similar issues with my 86 and it turned out to be my MAP sensor

[@JeronWhite]

Nice truck

[@alexbailey1085]

You should buy a trick flow top end kit for it, then put a trickle bottom engine in it

[@motoboy1rf]

I'm dealing with those response issues on my 97 f350 aeronose and cant figure out what's going on. I replaced the tps hoping it would fix it but no good, I'm gonna text the fuel pressure next because I have the original pump.

[@wvimages999]

clean PAPA truck, keep it up man.

[@JeremyNicholas-s3k]

i would say it is a throttle postion sensor

[@landonlessner7754]

I need one of those front plates. Just can’t find them. Where did you get yours?

[@captainschannel9331]

Love the trucks ! 🏴‍☠️

[@chadwolfe5188]

Great looking truck! Bite the bullet and put a Holley on it lol

[@cooperatteberry6173]

Would put a small left kit and the Kc’s like you said. Then would put sum new speakers & maybe a head unit.

[@AintScaredGarage]

Try White Diamond Polish it works great

[@ericb8867]

Interco(super swampers) will make them for you. Have buddy that calls them directly.

[@integman1]

Did these trucks come with the control module on the distributor? My bronco ii use to run like this but when cooled down it would run fun. I recommend buying a new one and relocating it somewhere else

[@greggoett]

Replaced both tanks in my 86. Super cheap on Rock auto or other, same tanks 70s thru 90s. Like $100 stupid cheap to not replace.

[@TheAdam61904]

My 92 5.8 ran horrible. Wouldn’t go past 2k rpm. My FPR was trashed that helped and replaced the pumps and tanks 0 issues for 5 years now

[@pauldunfee1510]

Was given a set of these tires, been running them and not taking care of them, had no idea they were desirable

[@KyleP133]

Is there a chance that you have an issue with the dual tank system where it's pumping fuel into the other tank instead of to the motor? I dont know how it works on those trucks but maybe the fuel is sporadically going the wrong direction? My dad's 93 F-150 did something like that, but I think 93 was a totally different style system than whats in your truck.

[@chrislloyd1562]

Possibly tfi module that’s screwed on the front of the distributor

[@motownXJdad9565]

Nev-R-Dull works even easier polishing aluminum wheels like that, check it out👍

[@michaelcollins7903]

Interco makes brand new tires for 16.5s in a few different tread patterns

[@Tanner731]

STA makes super vintage 16.5s too

[@chrisnolan1814]

Icm issues. It also controls fueling in a lot of vehicles so it could be your problem

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

I had a 5.0 bullnose that did the EXACT SAME THING!!! It would start, idle and run fine and then suddenly...well, you know. Never did find out why so I'm super curious to find out if you can fix yours!!!

[@christophertoscano2026]

Only thing that would make it perfect is king pin Dana 60 front 2 to 4 inch lift but it’s awesome the way it is

[@dylanspencer3662]

Love your channel but with all the troubles you’ve had I’d just convert it to a msd box and carb setup or go with a sniper setup like the crew cab

[@mstarn00]

Does super swamper not still make 33s for 16.5? I know it's not everyone's favorite tire but they are iconic lol treadwright tires used to do remolds of a tire called guard dogs i believe but it looks like they dont do 33s on a 16.5 anymore either

[@fomocopowersgarage7103]
