Well that is a good goal. I would set it closer to 2000. But good luck with that man!! Always fun having projects like that.

 

well it looks good from the outside

 

woohoo!!!! it looks like a great truck!!

 

Hope everything works out for you.

Its gonna be cool when finished!

 

update.. i was at ford dealer friday to get key made with the vin number, so i could at least steer the truck into the garage to start putting things back together that i had to take apart from loading it on the trailer with no key, i had to remove the shift cable from the transmission the rear brake calipers and the steering shaft(the wheels were slightly turned) anyhow i got there and they had just lost power so no key until monday

 

today i made it to the ford dealer and had them cut the key,not programmed, but at least i can unlock the column..the key cost 26.00 so that puts my total cost at a whopping 375.00

 

not bad!

 

What exactly went wrong with the motor?

Wouldn't it be funny if it was something as dumb and easy as a cam position sensor.

Or hell even a blown plug.

Not long ago I ran into a guy selling a similar F150. He thought the motor was blown Anyway I'm too damned honest and told him actually he had just launched a plug. Should have kept my mouth shut and picked it up cheap. LOL

 

karma, my friend. now if he didnt believe ya and still wanted to sell it, then you shoulda picked it up lol

 

not so sure what is wrong with the motor,i wont know until i have the key programmed but it does turn over and it seems as if everything works, like the lights brake lights turn signals all windows go up and down power door locks, as soon as i get some free time and my second key(which i mail order for $9 to the door) the truck is going in for the program

 

Boy , did you luck out.

 

today i got the keys programmed and had to buy a starter so with the tow to ford and the tow home from ford and the cost of the program and starter,todays grand total is 282.00 bringing the total cost of this project 657.00........the motor turns over but i have no fuel pressure,and it sounds hurt. i got the line disconnected in front of the fuel filter with nothing.. is there a fuse or relay i should check before i try to get the the fuel pump?and also can the bed be pulled to get to the fuel pump?

 

and then there was the fuel pump it cost 65.00 for a new pump bringing my total up to 722.00..tomorrow i will install new pump and hopefully hear it running

 

and also id like to add that you cannot take the bed off on a supercrew to get to the fuel pump,guess i figured that one out the hard way

 

There is some wiring underneath that likes to corrode and then no fuel pump. . . If memory serves me I've heard the guys say its up by the spare tire? I haven't had this issue(knock on wood) but its something to keep in mind.

Before you crank it up some more you might pull the belt. That way when it/if it fires, if there is noise you'll know it's not coming from an accessory.

To give you an idea if the motor is self destructing, buy an oil filter($3) o.k. maybe a little more but pull the oil filter that is currently on and cut that sucker open with some tin snips.(hacksaw will pollute the results) then inspect the filter media for foreign particles.
