LastDeadLast Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Forum, Great to be here! I am the new owner of an 85 F150 XLT RWD with a 5.0 EFI engine. I've been looking around for months for a good example. This one is a one owner truck and has 96,000 miles and no rust that I can find. The bed looks like it's never been used. Anyway on the not-so-rosy front, sitting so much has taken it's toll. I'm in the process of replacing the brakes, shocks and tires. It also has a rough idle that I'm also diagnosing. I think the PO's mechanics did a number on the engine harness and I'm trying to figure all that out. It should be a great truck once I get all the bugs worked out. Glad to be here!! -Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Shannon - Glad you joined. That's a really great looking truck. I hope you get the issues sorted, easily and quickly, and get to drive it soon. You might want to start a thread about getting it into shape in either the main section or Projects. Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city/state or zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
