#710856September 2, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE OIL PAN IS RUSTING THROUGH, AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. BY CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY, AND THROUGH ANNECDOTAL EVIDENCE, I HAVE LEARNED OF 13 OTHER 93-94 F150 TRUCKS (AS WELL AS SOME VANS OF THOSE MODEL YEARS) THAT HAVE HAD THEIR OIL PANS REPLACED THIS YEAR ALONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN OIL PAN RUST OUT BEFORE, SO THE EVIDENCE AT HAND LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN OVERALL MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SAFETY ISSUE: I COULD LOOSE ALL OF MY OIL WITHOUT WARNING (THE RUSTY AREA IS BRITTLE & OOZING OIL), AND THE ENGINE COULD BE DESTROYED. *AK
