1993 FORD F-150 1/2 TON PICKUP WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE FRONT TANK IS BEING FILLED BY THE REAR TANK AND WILL OVER FILL THE FRONT TANK. WHEN THE FRONT TANK IS SELECTED THE ENGINE RUNS VERY ROUGH BUT WHEN THE REAR TANK IS SELECTED THE ENGINE RUNS NORMAL. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE FRONT TANK FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND EVENTUALLY THE REAR TANK FUEL PUMP AS WELL. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, AND FUEL FILTER. *TR

1993 FORD F-150 4WD FRONT BUMPER CAN OFF, ALL BOLTS MISSING ONLY 1 U-CLIPS PRESENT AND IT IS BROKEN. YESTERDAY (7/22/2010) I HAD TRAVELED TO MY SISTERS HOME, ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON RETURNING I PARKED MY TRUCK AS USUAL AND WENT INTO MY HOUSE. ABOUT I HOUR LATER AS COMING OUT OF MY HOUSE AND HEADING FOR THE GARAGE, THAT WAS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER WAS TILTED DOWN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO LIFT THE FRONT BUMPER UP OFF THE FRAME. IT WAS JUST HANGING ON. I'VE CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. I DID CHECK THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON MY TRUCK BACK IN 1994 (#94V018000). THIS AFTERNOON I DID CALL THE FORD CUSTOMER CENTER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEIR REPLY WAS YES THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TRUCK BUT NOT FOR MINE BECAUSE IT WAS MADE AT ANOTHER PLACE. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND, IT THAT RECALL HAD LIMITATIONS WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWN ON THE RECALL SUMMARY? THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AS THE RECALL SHOWN? THANK YOU, *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE A BAD PROBLEM WITH ALL THE LIGHTNING F150 PICKUP TRUCKS 93 TO 95. THEY ARE ALL GETTING A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WE CALL DEATH WOBBLE,IT IS A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION. IT CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I BELONG TO A LIGHTNING CLUB WORLD WIDE AND THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL THE LIGHTNING F150 PICKUP TRUCKS. WE IN THE LIGHTNING CLUB COMMUNITY CANNOT PIN POINT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SOME SAY THE METAL BRACKETS ARE CRACKING WHICH HOLD THE FRONT SUSPENSION TOGETHER, BAD DESIGN FROM FORD. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU DRIVE THE TRUCK.WHEN THE TRUCKS ARE TAKEN TO A SHOP ,THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WE WOULD LIKE FORD TO FIX OR TELL US ALL WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CAN TELL ALL OWNERS TO FILE A COMPLAINT TOO IF YOU WISH. *TR
