I'd like to make a correction about the oil statement: Ford recommended 10w30 for these trucks from the factory NOT 5w30, However in the late 90's they released a service bulletin recommending 5w30. And apparently even later they released another one recommending 5w20! 1 would NOT recommend running 5w20 in any OBS motor, 5w30 is good for harsh winters up north I run 5w30 in the winter but 10w30 for the rest of the year or year round if you live in a warm climate (Also don't bother with synthetic on these engines)
And Mass air was not 93 or 94. They were 95 on California models only and all models in 96. If you're going to make some sort of instructional video, you need to do more research, as there are several inaccuracies in this one.
@nicconley mass air flow was absolutely on non-Californian 94’s, specifically only the 302s with an automatic. That truck is the video is a 94 5.0 Mass air flow. It is not a Californian truck. It was sold and spent its entire life in Canada. Not to mention I’ve seen several 94 MAF trucks, you can even go on rock autos website and select a 94 F150 5.0 and purchase a mass air flow sensor for it. However the same year 94 with a 5.0 and a manual transmission would have a MAP sensor only. Ford did some weird things in the 90s, there is so many weird changes from model year to model year and even in the same production year
@JunkAutoWerks whatever dude. I've been a Ford tech since 1991 and every piece of service literature and parts reference from Ford debunks your whole statement. If it's Canadian, it may be different.
@@nicconley Dude the truck in the video is literally a 94 non California truck with a MAF. The Canadian trucks did not have different emissions regulations than the US. I don’t know what further proof you need. And rockauto is an example you can go into any parts store in the country and get a MAF sensor for a 94 F150 5.0 🤦♂️ I’ve also had this exact conversation in OBS forums online and a bunch of guys came forward with 94 5.0s that had both MAF and MAP depending on transmission type
I know I’m over a year late but I’ve never seen a more useful, understandable, easy to see what’s going on truck video in me life. 10/10 ur the freaking man.
Could you make some more videos such as this with a lot of information? Myself and others would greatly appreciate it. There’s not a lot of guys out there with your knowledge that make videos such as this one and it really helps guys like me when you do so.
Absolutely man I’ll see if I can make more videos like this, I’m a young guy myself but I have a ton of knowledge on OBS Fords. Take some time to go through Facebook groups and old form posts! You can learn a lot
Thanks for the info. I have a 95 f150 4x4 with 5.0 and I love it. I have new motor and transmission installed and front end it rebuilt with a redhead steering box
That black nylon strap around the hoses: Get a longer strap and double wrap it around the hoses. This reduces the surface pressure on the hose. Less likely to saw into the hose.
@@JunkAutoWerksFiring Order changed, because of the difference in Cams, not just Roller. 154 was for the regular 302, 137 or 351 Firing Order was for the " HO" 302. It had about 20 HP more beginning in 1994 up. The Roller Cam was in 1992-1993, but not HO
I've run 10-40 full synthetic in my 95 eb since it had 84k miles in 06, at 240k miles it has 0 blowby 0 smoke and it's 100% driven like a race car all the time.
Dude you’re hella knowledgeable! . I need can I reach out to you if I have any questions ? I recently got a 95 Eddie Bauer and planing on doing a few small repairs. I watched your video a few times and subscribed !💪💪
I am the original owner of a 95 F150. It does not have the mass air flow sensor. It is a speed density engine with OBD 1. Wondering if your 94 has the California emissions certification. Would explain why it has MAF.
My 94 is a Canadian truck so not California emissions, Is your 95 Manual or automatic because I’m pretty sure for whatever reason the manuals stayed MAP / speed density for a while longer than the automatics, My 94 is an auto 4R70w and has a MAF
@@mark98070ah I remember having a conversation like this on an OBS forum, Some dudes 94 5.0 was MAP and I thought all 94s were MAF, Turned out that the manual trucks stayed MAP for awhile but starting in 94 all 5.0 autos were MAF, But funny enough the 5.8 autos were still MAP as well. Also my 5.0 MAF is OBD1, 90s Ford was confusing as fu*k 😂
what does that spacer between the throttle body and intake do? i got the 1988 f250 with the 5.8L. i do know at about 1995 ford stopped making cranks for the 5.8L so they used the 5.0L cranks in them. you can tell real quick the difference by the snout on the front of the crank. the 5.8L harmonic ballancer will just slide on and off of it really easy with just your hands. the only difference between the 5.0L and 5.8L blocks is really the deck hight of the blocks the 5.8L block is about an inch or so taller and the roller cam. i did all the upgrades to mine with the 130 amp and 175 mega fuse, i moved the ignition module to the fender like the 92`s. i found an oil cooler off an ambulance in salvage yard. and i also installed the chevy fuel tank selector switch under the truck for the tanks and added the fuel resivior cannister from a f250 bronco. i also did the egr block off trick. my truck runs sooooo much better and feels like its got a little more power oh. i also did the e350 power steering pump and bracket upgrade. it is a night and day difference no more power steering pump noise. now i just got to get the hoses for my a/c and charge it up with my r12 freon. then i be all set
That spacer works the same way as any generic carb spacer, The theory is longer path for air to travel makes for better atomization. Not sure how well it works with the EFI though I wasn’t the one who installed it. And man that sounds like an awesome build! I’m Looking into deleting all the EGR and EVAP stuff on my 94 as well as getting a Redhead or Bluetop steering box
Nice video, the only thing i didn't like about it is when you zooming I think your also moving the camera away and then can barely hear what your saying. Maybe get a portable micke or talk after bringin the camera back to you. Thanks. 0i have a bull nose that im restoring ,83.

I need help my 1994 Ford f150 starts right up no problem when I touch the solenoid by the battery together.but it does not even make a click when I try starting it with the key. U got any ideas?
My 88 F150 was the same way only started by jumping the solenoid, I’d say you probably need a new Starter solenoid if it’s not that could be the ignition switch actuator in the steering collum only if it’s an automatic, But I’d start with the solenoid as its cheaper and easier to replace
@@JunkAutoWerks yup exactly what I've been hearing all around same things. But he'll yeah I appreciate it a lot bro keep doing ur thing on RUclips u are helping a lot of people out here
Useful info. I have a 95 F150 with a 5.0 and my oil pressure gauge is only reading a quarter all of a sudden. Motor is making noise. Sending unit/switch or gauge itself?
Might have a clogged oil pump screen. Common issue. Remove oil sending unit. Get a king nipple. Plumb in a manual oil pressure gauge and run tubing through little rubber port in firewall. (Buy cheap generic gauge) Zip tie below dash. Watch gauge fit a day or two. If showing good pressure you can now safely install a new factory idiot gauge style sending unit.
@@technicalitems731 thank you. I had a typo in my original comment. The motor is not making noise. Gauge has been this way for about a month. I’ve had the truck for 14 years and have kept up religiously on oil changes. It would definitely be nice knowing what the actual oil pressure is and making sure I do have good oil pressure, but with the oil switch only being about $10 makes me wonder if I shouldn’t just swap it out first and see if it fixes the gauge. Either way I appreciate the good info.
Hey man I know I’m late to the vid but I have a question. My low beams don’t work but my high beams do. Do you think it’s just bulbs or something more ?
I’ve got a bad situation and need some help.. I have a 96 bronco with a 91 e150 engine.. both 5.0 but all of the accessories on the engine are from the 91 .. it doesn’t run right due to timing and other factors that make them incompatible.. so I ordered a long block for this truck and now I’m not sure what I can swap on to it and what I need to buy
yea he was mistaken. it was 10w-30 conventional and the service note was to use 10w-20 conventional. most switched when oils got better to 5w-30 full synthetic. I don't know a single person that went to 20weight.
Yeah it was 10w30 from the factory then Ford released a service bulletin for 5w30 and apparently they did one last service bulletin in the 2000s that said 5w20, I’d never run 5w20 but 5w30 can be good in the winter if you live in a harsh climate. 10w30 for everything else though
i deleted my 96’ 4.9l I6 EGR value but my truck didn’t have a plug for the EGR only a vacuum line. so i plugged the line and made a block off plate. i do have a check engine light for a EGR. anything else i can do ??
as someone who has always liked cars but never known a lot about them (done youtube fixes off and on), would you recommend one of these f150s for a newbie or suggest i steer clear? would love to get one but don’t want to if the more common issues might put me in over my head lol
Yes these are good trucks, The main thing is look out for is fuel system issues it’s very common for these trucks to have one dead fuel pump or issues switching between tanks. If it’s an f150 look out for cracks on the frame near the steering box
Just to make things more complicated I have a 95 5.0 150 with factory OBS not mass air making difficult to get parts without arguing with auto parts houses and places like Summit
94 F150 5.0s with automatic transmissions were the first year of MAF, however the same year 94 F150 5.0s with manual transmissions were still MAP along with all 351w and 460 engines. Ford did some confusing sh*t in the 90s lol
Is it a automatic transmission or manual? Because the manuals were MAP up into 96 while the automatics became MAF in 94, forgot to mention that in this video but i corrected it in my latest vidoe

Keep an extra ignition module for these trucks in your glovebox…also, note that the big block modules will not cross over to the small blocks
Yeah I agree with that, My old 92 died on me due to an improperly installed ignition module
