Inherent problems w/ '95 F-150s?
Hey all,
Just a question for a friend. He is looking at a 95 F-150 4x4 and was wondering if there were any issues he should be wary of. I told him that the body issues were the only ones I know of. No big deal there since he'll be using it as a workhorse, but admittedly I am not a real expert on that generation of trucks. He didn't have much info about it, but I told him I would ask anyway.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My 94 F150 4X4 with 300-6 and 5spd has been a great truck. I beat the crapp out of it and it just comes back for more. The only issues that I have had with my truck is the wiper motors, I have replaced the motor 2 times now. I did replace the slave cyl once, but that was at 120,000 miles so it was about due anyway. Otherwise just reg maintance stuff, balljoints, u-joints, ect. Heck I haven't even had to replace the clutch yet and the truck has 160,000 very hard, well used miles on it.
I would tell your buddy that if the truck drives nice and the price is right, buy it.

I had a 95 2wd with a 351, auto, and Reading tool cap (very heavy steel cap) it was one of the cheapest to own vehicles I have ever had. Some little issues here and there, but nothing I couldn't easily fix in my driveway. Outstanding work truck. I sold it with 140k 3 years ago, and the guy who bought it loves it. He uses it to tow a landscaping trailer.

Oh yea, I forgot about the fuel tank thing. One of the in tank fuel pumps died, and was fairly expensive to fix. The other one still worked, but the sending unit didn't, so I had to use the odometer to know when to buy gas. I ended up selling it with just the one tank working. He should ask the seller if he has replaced either pump/sending unit. It'd be nice if he has.

Strange, my dad and I replaced the fuel sending unit in the front tank of my truck. The unit still worked, but the float had developed a hole and filled with fuel, thus it was more of a sinker than a float.
If either of the fuel pumps had been replaced prior to our ownership I don't know.
