Whoa there 83_F-150_302.
You can tell that just by somebody posting a check engine light symptom? Not saying you're wrong, but it can be a multitude of things. Without getting the computer scanned and pulling up the trouble code, you will just be making a blind guess and possibly hanging a lot of parts that don't need replacing. You can have the computer scanned at Autozone and this will help you to narrow it down. You may have to take it into the shop if it becomes complicated, but I would try Autozone first.

Try the website below. They sell high quality synthetic blinker fuild. I found it lasts much longer and makes my blinkers brighter

I still believe that it isn't necessary to use synthetic blinker fluid. As long as you practice good maintenance and use the proper viscosity, your blinkers will last forever with good old dino blinker fluid.

KYFordFreak,
Great site. I really do think synthetics are best. Problem is I lost count at about 110,000 blinks. Do you think I should change the fluid anyway??
I could have saved some money with the plug and wire cleaner.

Ya'll aren't getting it are you
What we all need is performance!!! The Motor Block Oil Bypass Kit and the Air Filter Bypass Kit sound very promising
"Many people replace air filters with high-flow versions for an extra few horsepower. We here at KaleCo have devised a much more efficient and more intelligent way of doing things. Pick up our air filter bypass kit and enjoy a nearly a free 15 horse power! Bypass that power-robbing and pesky air filter today, for much less than one of those "performance" air filters!"
