Babe wake up, Craig909 posted a new video

Hey craig I have an 89 F250 351W. Truck used to do buck like hell under any load. Swapped out the MAP sensor, along with (i think) an idle sensor that is bolted to the distributor, but what I believe really did the trick to fix her was installing a new fuel pump, filter, and taking out the injectors to clean them. turns out they were clogged up, so when you wanted more power they simply couldn't deliver enough fuel, which caused the engine to sputter like crazy. Once the injectors and lines were cleaned, she ran so smooth and strong. I dont think you have the same problem but maybe this gave you a new idea for the bucking issue you got.

Hey now, don't make fun of vehicles from 1986. They were built to last for so many years! I was also born in 1986 👍

The distributor gear has to get swapped from the truck distributor to the mustang distributor or you'll eat your cam drive on your trucks engine. if it wasn't mentioned. 5.0HO vs. Non HO. HO drive gear is hardened steel. the trucks non HO. is cast iron.

LOOK HERE i worked for ford back then and that distributor pickup coil are white or clear looking are the good ones if it was black they were bad. Now back to your problem some many people don't know there is another fuel filter on the frame on the driver side frame rail below the driver door sill. It is in a canister filter. I have replace hundreds of them. Really best thing to do is install fuel pressure gauge on the Schroeder valve on the fuel rail located on the passenger side of the truck fuel rail. While it is idling should be 30 psi if you disconnect the vacuum hose to the fuel regulator pressure should go to 40 psi. Now time for road test. they all ways fail the driving test, put the gauge on the outside on the windshield and drive it. On a FULL throttle through the gears you should see close to 40 psi if it drops fuel pump or filters are the problem. Of cause im sure you ran a EECIV test on the system before you did all the work? I hope this helps if not you know where i am. good luck love the channel

Now sell it, get a diesel

I would hook up a fuel pressure gauge and watch when it’s under a load or hook maybe a AFR gauge and see what conditions you’re having. That’ll be a good start in my opinion.

Thumbnail needs an alignment lol

Man I know where an F250 is almost exactly like that one… I’ve been wanting to go ask about it but I don’t ever see anybody outside and I don’t really like going up to knock on random people’s door…😅 It was ok to do that 20 years ago but idk about nowadays… Lmao plus I live in Georgia and people have changed so much over the years it’s crazy.

I was born in a Ford.

Way easier way to change the window motor by simply drilling a few holes in the door and unbolting it without removing the regulator. Either way good job trucks looking good

I have an 86 f250. Even if your tfi is not the problem its a good mod to relocate the tfi to the radiator support or inner fender. If it ever goes out you can change it in a couple minutes. I had problems with mine. It ended up being the pickup. Occasionally it will buck once or twice. I think its fuel presuure related. Only does it when below a 1/4 tank. Also maybe check the wiring or connector on the injector harness. Nice vidoes.

I still say you should try and retrofit the air cleaner box, coolant overflow/windshield washer tank and throttle body snorkel tubes from a 1992-1996 F150. It would take that air cleaner box from being over that hot engine to the cooler front of the engine bay. Ford changed that set-up from what's on your truck to what is in the 1992-1996 F150 for a good reason. Cooler air means more power.

Get some oversized clamps that have rubber feet/ pleats on them, to clamp onto door glass to hold the window up when you are servicing it. The clamps come in handy, as an extra pair of hands when needed, in many different applications. Now you know. Thanks for posting

Might try replacing the coil also. Low RPM moderate load (lean) requires a strong spark.

Love the bullnose content👍🏻 it has inspired me to get back into restoring mine!

Great job and always awesome work!!

Nice I got a 89 Lariat and I love it, ir's got a 5.0 in it. With power windows two.

For as beautiful and straight that truck is, it really needs a respray or at least the center panels.

Mccully racing motors make a tfi relocate kit for these trucks. The 90s obs fords came factory with the tfi mounted on the inside of the driver side fender. There was a class action lawsuit against ford for the tfi.
