I have a 2001 F 150 Ford Harley Davidson pickup with 51 thousand original miles on it, after taking it to the ford dealer for a recall on the cruise control it will not start all the time and shuts off when ever it feels like it ? any ideas ? I'm blue in the face talking to the dealership .. it has got me nowhere ...

    WHEN IT DOES START YOU CAN SEE WHAT ODOMETER READING IS ... IF THERE ARE DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS IT WILL NOT START , ALSO I CAN HEAR A CLANK NOISE LIKE AS IF THE THEFT SYSTEM ENGAGES AND IS PREVENTING IT FROM STARTING

SOURCE: ford f-150 will crank but not start or stay running

Look on the throttle body for a little cylinder with an electrical connector on it. Use the handle of screwdriver to give that a few whacks while someone starts the engine after it starts, give a few more whacks. Engine running now? Replace the Intake Air Control motor. or IAC.

SOURCE: Erratic shifting on 2001 f150 pickup

How many miles on it? Do you mean overdrive? Over drive will clunk when shifting in cruise. Mine lasted 212,000 miles but I have heard of them going out after 120,000, depends how you drive. That Traney is good till it starts acting up then you will need a complete overhaul. I got it done for $1800. Do not go to a Ford dealer, they quoted me $3200.

SOURCE: cruise control

I had the same problem on mine - just check the end of the cruise control cable under the big plastic cover of the engine. good luck!

SOURCE: knocking in the bottom of ford 5.4 liter engine

If you hear it knocking no bearing replacement is going to fix that long term. Its best to pull it, the crank shaft will have to be turned or polished and or replaced, weather its a rod or a maine, and posibly line boared if its a maine thats knocking. Do it right and pull it.

I have a Ford Harley davideson pickup truck.The oil dipstick has no oil on it.Can the cpm pickup that there's no oil and wont start,also security light flashes.

Hello Corey,
I am not a motor mechanic, but from my limited knowledge....
If you cannot see oil on the end of the oil dipstick then your engine *desperately* needs more oil added.
A 5 litre / 1 gallon bottle of oil costs only a handful of dollars.
An engine that siezes cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
If your pickup truck still starts, I suggest you take it to the nearest motor mechanic, as soon as possible.

I have a 2001 ford f250 powerstroke diesel was driving and transmision started to slip drove about 3 miles and now wont move forward at all but reverse works fine

Some of the Ford transmissions actually have an aluminum gear which will go out somewhere around 150 to 200 thousand miles. OR it could be really low on transmission fluid.
