Default blower

k so I searched google and the forum I have two possibles...

1.) blower motor resistor
2.) blow this truck up


my air only works on the 2 highest settings and nothing at all unless I'm giving gas for air to push through the vents I'm getting aggravated because this thing is just one problem after another anyone have any insight at all or have had this problem before?

haha i feel you man, never owned a ford before this truck, and never will after it. Just one problem after another, constant fixes and repairs. It's just ford general though. Both of my friends have mustangs which require a **** ton of work as well and have coolant/exhaust problems all the time.

Idk man me and my wife are on our 4th mustang, two each and have never had an issue with either. But my f150 on the other hand, this has been an experience.

Never had a problem yet 186000 miles but running gear is one tons so that will never be a irritating repetitive fix other than that nothing

haha ok try this one on...

bought my 2003 f150 XLT 4x4 with 60k... yay!!!....

at 85k I spit out a plug...
at 87k I spit out the same plug...

after a rebuild and new top end at 87k I decided to test out the 4x4...

got stuck which was my fault I agree but I however did not expect to break the shift collar I engage the 4x4... after A7X here on the forum helped me out I slapped it back in and was good to go

at 98k brakes all the way around
at 110k upper ad lowers..
at 115k passenger front bearing
at 119k driver front bearing
at 126k 4 new tires
at 135k both rear shackles
at 141k shock blew out on expressway... all 4 replaced
at 143k brakes all the way around
at 167k transmission solenoid #3 went so it would pop into neutral after 35mph

at 169k front and rear u joints
at 172k brakes all the way around
at 175k manifold AC line to compressor rotted out
at 180k little **** is pissing me off and I'm about to just invest into a 2013 when they come out that way i get that nice 3 yr 36k mile WARRANTY

my 2000..
intake at about 290,000
only a transfercase motor since then & has yet to be replaced because lack of funds..
oh & a rear end but that was all on me that time.. you must have just got an abused one.. my 10th gen f150 has been the best f150 ive owned yet.. i miss all of them because of the memories & because of my know-how i learned from them but my 2000 is NEVER leaving my ownership or my family, my fiancie & future wife was met & courted in it & so will my future son/daughter will.. plus my grandkids. If they wont promise me that on my death bed then i'll be buried in it..
