1990 Ford F150 XLT Lariet 4.9L
Summary:
Would like to get a new ford, but can't let this one go!
Faults:
Three alternators 150,000-160,000
E4OD Trans 170,000
Water Pump 210,000
Two A/C Pumps 180,000
Driver's Seat Worn Badly.
General Comments:
Body looks good for its age. Clear coat is gone on the roof. There are miner dings. Head liner is coming down.
Alternators and A/C pumps were my fault. There was a short in the system that also to out two battery's. Pump I did not put enough oil in and burned the first one up. Clutch on pump looked like it was going to fall off, but held on for 5,000 miles.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Also own 1990 F150 custom with 4.9 liter 6 cylinder and 5 speed manual (2 wheel drive). Have had the truck since new.
Now has 161,000 Kilometers (100,000 miles). Still runs like new.
Except for the battery, filters, plugs and wires, all components under the hood are still original.
Air conditioning has never been serviced, still making cold air.
The body is still solid, no annoying squeaks or rattles. Compared to my GM trucks in the past, this has been by far the best.
