I was wondering if any of you guys have ever had or heard of the computer going bad on these trucks. I have an 87 f150 with the 5.0 and I had one go bad awhile back. Mechanic I get advice from said that he had only seen a couple others in his 20 yrs and hes a ford guy.

And I dont know how much different my computer is since I dont think you can pull codes on an 87. Or maybe that has nothing to do with it. Just interested to hear from others on the forum.

 

Not common, but it does happen.

 

You can fix some of them. It is more common then you think.

 

Yeah I have heard about it being more common on chevy pickups of this age but yea didnt think it was too common on these

 

Use the search button and c how many pages come up.

 

like 400 came up haha. Im sure there are a few in there that are directly related to the computer out of that lol
