@@Painintheknee Check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail after it's been sitting overnight. The fuel pressure regulator usually has a check valve in it to keep fuel pressure from bleeding back through the system when it's been sitting. I would try cycling the key on and off several times before you try to crank the motor. If that helps, then it's definitely fuel delivery.

What passes for a 'pickup truck" today is ridiculous. A luxury passenger car cab with a useless 4' box. Thus $80,000. What I want has not been available for 30 years. Ford F150 4x4.. EIGHT FOOT BOX , manual transmission, manual locking hubs, NO cameras, sensors, or other useless and instantly outdated electronics. VINYL floor mats (no carpet, this is a work truck and I need to hose it out). And I'd be very happy with a 300 inline 6, the greatest motor Ford Motor Co. ever produced. I don't even need power windows or mirrors. All that crap has made vehicles unreliable and instantly obsolete. The crap doesn't make it for the life of the vehicle and is almost impossible to repair when it stops working.

I'm a UAW Ford worker. I can confirm they are parking thousands of these everywhere. They are missing parts. They continue to run production knowing the vehicles can't be sold. Best part is. There are thousands of trucks out there missing parts and have hail damage from the hailstorm we had a week ago. Lol. They've even been storing these things out in the farmlands, at offroading resorts, Firework tent locations, Caves. Every nook they can find. You'll see a f150 missing parts. If only they would just do everything in-house like they did decades ago, supply chain issues wouldn't be as much of an issue.

If there are more vehicles than people to buy them they have to reduce the price to sell them,. if they hold back the inventory they can write it off on their taxes as a loss, and they will claim that loss at the high 81, 000 sticker price, so basically here's how it goes. Ford make say 100,000 trucks that should be valued at 30 grand. They then hold onto half of them, that leaves only 50K of them to buy. They jack the price to three times the normal value and then make a tidy profit. the rest of the cars they don't sell get written off for the full market value and they crush these. it's all a scam and our politicians are bought and paid for. It's time we really vote everyone out.

They don't crush new unsold vehicles! Who told you that nonsense? They do get sold one way or another.

Gm does this as well, I used to go to the GM plant in Oshawa. They park thousands of cars, trucks SUVs etc ready to get on the train and ship out. However I worked for a company that gm outsourced quality control and I can tell you that those vehicles sat there for a long time. We would have to go to every single vehicle and scan them so they are in the system and check for whatever issue they were having. Sometimes it was minor stuff like measuring gaps between body panels with a certain gauge made by GM and had to be within in spec to pass. If not then they sat there until they were fixed and only then they were signed out to be shipped out via train or transport truck.

He had an old school rigid chalkboard with tabs and clips and would draw out an entirely new harness, wire it, attach ends, wrap with correct cloth braid and butyl tape, then test it before removing and installing into the bike..

Ford books the sale when the truck rolls out the factory door; then store the “sold” truck on a lot; later they pay contractors to fix issues.

Part of the problem is the UAW demanding high $alary for a 4 day work week and better than most benefit pkg. Then the dealer bleeds to purchaser, the bank with high interest rates and the manufacturer wants his blood money. No American truck is worth $80+ grand

I don't see no UAW workers sailing in yachts. But I routinely read about mcfarley's and barra's getting 40-50 million dollars yearly bonuses. If mcfarley slashed his bones to 7x median pay, and kept us factories open -- I don't think people would have the audacity to demand more. If he was focused on quality and customers, engineers and mechanics would rally behind him. That's not what happened though -- he took a ton of money (50mil?), moved factories to Mexico, made disastrous decisions (mache, lightning, ecoboost), and flipped the customers with 80-90k vehicles that are falling apart. And that's just him -- do realize that all his c-suit got showered in money. I am having a hard time blaming it on the workers.

Has nothing to do with unions. Failure is a Ford business model. Henry hired mechanic to go into junkyards to look for usable parts. If they were usable he would look to how to insure failure.

@n2skcmo 2 месяца назад

There is less than 1200$ labor in a F150. It's not union greed. Every truck that comes off the line is already sold to a dealer for 12-14k profit, then the dealer marks it up. Also remember it was Ford employees that bailed out Ford back in '09. That's been almost 15 years ago and Ford is making us fight to get it back. When an honest man borrows he pays it back, not so with Ford.

Modern ICEVs have no mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the engine either. Some don't even have a throttle body at all in order to eliminate related pumping losses. Also, most stories of "runaway cars" I have heard ultimately turned out to be things like stomping on the wrong pedal or getting stuck on the carpet-saver.

The worst thing for consumers is Flat Rate pay. And techs who make the mistake of letting it slip that they can diagnose. Parts changers ( moelarrycurly) make $$$$, real techs get paid 20 minutes for 3 hours of diag. I stuck it out at Hyundai for a few months just to learn, then bailed. HMA in New England at the time was training 950 techs a year. Not upgrading techs, that was getting new hires the basic Hyundai certification so they could do warrantee work. 1/6 of that training was how to operate the side doors on the Entourage van. Oh, it it was the fastest Hyundai ever made until the 2012 Genesis V8 at 155 mph. 300hp with killer aerodynamics. That was speed limited factory due to the speed limit of the Michelins.

It's not just Ford but all the brands that have these issues. The main problem is all these modules that the new vehicles have are made in China or other countries that just do not meet the original quality specs of the part when the manufacturer contracted them for the parts. The way to solve it is to eliminate all these options that are unnecessary in most new vehicles. Can you even buy a car with manual crank windows anymore?
