"if you can't move the gearshift lever out of park, it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicles brake lamps are not operating properly, This may be bad info in the OM.

I want to make this impossible.
Have you had this happen? Just curious why you are worried about it. In the last ten years I haven't even had a light front or rear on any of my vehicles go out. They are a lot more reliable than they used to be.

Never thought I'd see the day somebody complained about an XL having too many features....

The Ford startup screen and the parking lamps have nothing to do with reliability. And your concern about the bulb and shifting out of park is as simple as popping a new fuse in, which I really doubt that fuse will ever short out.

Not wanting airbags in newer vehicles is just stupid. Because you haven't been in a wreck in 40 years? I think comments like those are just you wanting to get reactions out of people.

Sure, I could see where some people would like to be able to buy a truck without the little screen, without power windows, etc, but it is probably easier and cheaper for Ford to have these features in all of the trucks, and the majority of people appreciate these features (or don't get pissed off they have them)

Buying your 95 F150 for $12K new isn't really relevant to what vehicles cost today. It's called INFLATION. I have the original bill of sale from our 1968 Camaro my grandmother bought new and it was around $2,000. WHAT?? WHY ARE CARS SO EXPENSIVE NOW!?? Also, My truck probably has more than twice the horsepower and torque that your 1995 F150 had. If I need to replace a couple things here and there, I'll take that sacrifice for a vehicle that runs better and more efficiently.

What motor does your truck have? Maybe you could focus on more important things that actually matter when it comes to reliability.

Mine is pungent, almost cat urine like. Can you explain or put me in the right direction?

Inflation and a better product are two entirely different things.

Wasn't meaning to link a better product to inflation, but I guess I can see how it looks that way. Oops

Two causes for this issue.

#1. your Ac is not draining properly and there is water backed up, causing mold/mildew/bacteria to grow, resulting in a very unpleasant smell the whole time the AC in running.


#2. Your evaporator is leaking oil, resulting in a manure like smell for the first minute or so after you turn on the AC. The smell goes away after a short while.


To fix #1, You will first need to clear your drain to keep it from backing up(
) and then you will need to run some disinfectant thru the system (
) also, check on the internet, plenty of opinions on how to fix it.

#2 is a caused by a bad evaporator coil, there is are a bunch of thread on the issue.

If the link above does not work, search google for: "f150 ac smells like manure site:www.f150forum.com"
