POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY FORD F150 TRUCK HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WITH A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER, WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. A FEW YEARS AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYCLINDER, INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING, STARTED LEAKING FLUID, JUST AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS 3-YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT. SOMETIMES THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER LOSES ALL THE FLUID OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (SEVERAL MONTHS), AND SOMETIMES IT LOSES ALL OF THE FLUID IN A FEW DAYS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, AND I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT WORK. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT RESULT.

SUSPENSION:REAR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK FOR THE FIRST 5 YEARS. BUT AFTER THAT EVEN WITH TAKING GREAT CARE OF THE TRUCK IT STARTED TO FAIL THE ALTENATOR....$400,REPLACING 2 EXHAUST TUBES FOR EMISSIONS $450,REAR SPRING SHACKELS AND MOUNT $450, THE TRANS MISSION IS NOW FAILING COST NOT KNOWN YET, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT DOORS DON'T LINE UP ANYMORE WATER LEAKS IN,LOWER SHEETMETAL OF TRUCK BED RUSTING THROUGH PAINT EVEN WITH BEING WAXED MANY MANY TIMES,VENT WINDOWS LEAK AND ARE RUSTING, I KNOW VEHICELS NEED ALOT OF CARE BUT I THINK THE WORST PROBLEM WAS THE RUSTING OUT OF THE REAR SPRING MOUNTS AND SHACKELS THIS IS A REAL DANGER ,I HAVE NEVER HEARED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANY VEHICLE. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER 93 F 150'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO OTHERS WITH 1993 F 150'S SO THEY CAN HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING, SHOWING FRACTURE BETWEEN CYLINDERS TWO AND THREE. EXHAUST SOUNDS INCREASED BOTH DURING IDLE AND AT SPEED. NOISE CAN BE DESCRIBED AS CRACKLING/POPPING AT IDLE AND A VERY LOUD HIGH-SPEED TURBULENCE (AS IF FROM A LARGE ENGAGED CLUTCH FAN) WHEN ACCELERATING. CRACKED MANIFOLD HAS TRIGGERED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON LONG TRIPS (AFTER 3+ HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVING). HAVE NO REASON TO SUSPECT THE CRACKED MANIFOLD IS A REPLACEMENT. APPEARS TO HAVE CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE (I.E. DRIVING THROUGH DEEP WATER, OVER ROUGH TERRAIN). INCREASED EXHAUST NOISE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE WAS ONLY HEARD AT WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE, AND PROGRESSED TO A FULL-TIME LEAK WITHIN 30 DAYS. OTHER STORIES SIMILAR TO THIS ONE ABOUND, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF DESIGN.*AK
