It's only 2 pages long if you set it to 40 posts per page in your User CP.

I was a GM guy most of my life but after a slow painful relationship with my last one, I bought a 94 f150 with 350K+. Had fewer issues with the 350K Ford than I had been having with the >200k GM. The quality of the replacement parts seemed to be higher with the Fords as well. With the post-carbed GM's, the quality really seemed to have dropped. Got frustrated replacing the same part more than once. Haven't had that problem with the Fords at all. Fix it and it stays fixed.

Anyway, 5+ years on, I'm on my 3rd Ford and will likely stay Ford for the next one too. I'm not a brand guy but I hate buying stuff that I can't rely on.

Well fixed the po135 po155.. The wire harness was pinched above the tranny, dropped the tranny got the harness taken care of.. No more fuse blowing..

But now i have a po134 code..

Any ideas? I know this isnt a chevy forum just looking for advice, and yes towing it to the junk yard is starting to sound better and better

Don't overlook the possibility of getting a new O2 defective out of the box.

Switching the 02s right to left, vice versa, would tell you if one isn't working.

I had an 02 sensor code issue when I put my long tubes in, so I feel your pain! I had an extension that was a bit pinched and wasn't fully connected. I had to come up with a lot of different trouble shootings things before that though

It was the first, and likely one of the last, time I've said "hashtag." The circumstance is deserving though, and poor Coy is living out your nightmares, Brew.

Im just gonna drive the hell out of it and put a piece of tape over the light , if and when it leaves me stranded it will be my last gm. Im glad i got a good price on it or id be alot more pissed, but overall its a "decent" truck.

I have to keep reminding my self that it is 14 years old. Its not gonna be perfect
