1993 Ford F-150 Engine Problems

The recall 00S57 was not done. This was my husbands vehicle and he has since passed away and when I went to get renewal plates for Kentucky since I have moved I saw the recalls and called Ford dealer. They can fix the 05S28 speed control system modification recall which I have scheduled, however they advised parts for repair are no longer available from Ford. I have not had an issue as yet, however since the recall is engine and gas related which could cause a fire, I would like to get the vehicle fixed. Please advise. Thank you

LEFT FOR WORK ON THIS DAY IN THE USUAL MANNER. TURNED ONTO US 19 FROM US 64. AS I ACCELERATED FROM THE STOPLIGHT THE TRUCK BACKFIRED OUT OF THE EXHAUST, I SHIFTED GEARS AND IT BACKFIRED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON. I LOOKED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT. WHEN I STOPPED THE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED 911 TO REPORT THE FIRE. BY THE TIME THE FIRETRUCKS GOT THERE THE ENTIRE MOTOR COMPARTMENT AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WERE BLAZING. *TR

1. REAR LEAF SPRING SUPPORT ON 1993 FORD F-150. THE DESIGN OF THE REAR LEAF SPRING SUPPORT, LET WATER AND SALT COLLECT IN THE SUPPORT. CAUSING RAPID RUST AND FAILURE OF SUPPORT. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IF THIS PART WOULD FAIL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FORD DEALER HERE IN TOWN TOLD ME AT THE PARTS COUNTER, WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PART THAT THEY SELL 5 OR 7 SUPPORTS A WEEK. THIS TELLS ME THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. IN THE REAR LEAF SPRING SUPPORT. 2. THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN WHICH LETS EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. THE PIPE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE HEADS OF THE ENGINE, IS SUPPOSE TO PUMP FRESH AIR INTO THE EXHAUST TO HELP IT BURN CLEANER. BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS YEAR IS THAT IT SPLITS APART AND RUST CAUSING FUMES INTO THE CAB. THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT JUST MINE. I KNOW MEN WHO HAVE THE SAME YEAR TRUCK 1993 FORD F-150 WITH A V-8 302 IN IT THAT HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. THIS POINTS OUT A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS BOTH SAFETY FOR HUMAN BUT ALSO EMISSION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THESE CONCERNS. SHORT ANSWER IS THEY TELL ME TO FIX IT MYSELF. I ALSO REALIZE THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT A 1993 TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE ONLY 61,000 MILES ON IT. THESE ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUES. I BELIEVE THAT THESE ISSUES ARE DESIGN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK. NOT JUST MINE BUT OTHER MEN THAT I KNOW. I WOULD YOU TO LOOK INTO THESE POINTS PLEASE. *JB

I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK FOR THE FIRST 5 YEARS. BUT AFTER THAT EVEN WITH TAKING GREAT CARE OF THE TRUCK IT STARTED TO FAIL THE ALTENATOR....$400,REPLACING 2 EXHAUST TUBES FOR EMISSIONS $450,REAR SPRING SHACKELS AND MOUNT $450, THE TRANS MISSION IS NOW FAILING COST NOT KNOWN YET, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT DOORS DON'T LINE UP ANYMORE WATER LEAKS IN,LOWER SHEETMETAL OF TRUCK BED RUSTING THROUGH PAINT EVEN WITH BEING WAXED MANY MANY TIMES,VENT WINDOWS LEAK AND ARE RUSTING, I KNOW VEHICELS NEED ALOT OF CARE BUT I THINK THE WORST PROBLEM WAS THE RUSTING OUT OF THE REAR SPRING MOUNTS AND SHACKELS THIS IS A REAL DANGER ,I HAVE NEVER HEARED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANY VEHICLE. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER 93 F 150'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO OTHERS WITH 1993 F 150'S SO THEY CAN HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING, SHOWING FRACTURE BETWEEN CYLINDERS TWO AND THREE. EXHAUST SOUNDS INCREASED BOTH DURING IDLE AND AT SPEED. NOISE CAN BE DESCRIBED AS CRACKLING/POPPING AT IDLE AND A VERY LOUD HIGH-SPEED TURBULENCE (AS IF FROM A LARGE ENGAGED CLUTCH FAN) WHEN ACCELERATING. CRACKED MANIFOLD HAS TRIGGERED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON LONG TRIPS (AFTER 3+ HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVING). HAVE NO REASON TO SUSPECT THE CRACKED MANIFOLD IS A REPLACEMENT. APPEARS TO HAVE CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE (I.E. DRIVING THROUGH DEEP WATER, OVER ROUGH TERRAIN). INCREASED EXHAUST NOISE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE WAS ONLY HEARD AT WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE, AND PROGRESSED TO A FULL-TIME LEAK WITHIN 30 DAYS. OTHER STORIES SIMILAR TO THIS ONE ABOUND, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF DESIGN.*AK
