1988 Ford F-150 “Cride”
About the 1987–1991 Ford F-150
from the generation archive
The OBS F-150 (1987-1991) crowd on SuperMotors keeps these eighth-gen Fords alive — from two-tone '89s and blue '90 rigs to lifted pairs sitting side-by-side in fields, custom flame hoods, and trucks tackling rocky forest trails with autumn leaves flying. Whether you're digging into a brake job in the garage, pulling a front wheel on your '89, or just documenting that clean chrome-bumper tailgate with the classic red and silver stripe, this is where the builds, restorations, and beater-proud survivors all live.
The story
__Aim__:
To have a safe, working work truck,
Keep the truck on the road. Enough maintenance
Not trying for a show truck, want a work truck.
__To fix__:
Passenger Door to close better without lifting up
Sloppy steering, think tie-rod ends, alignment.
Interior Mirror
Engine Cleaning (need to see where leaks are coming from)
Upper Radiator Hose looks old and weak, easy to change
Lower Radiator - ought to take a look at it.
Serpentine belt also looks old, its not on last days, but good maintenance says replace.
__Things done__:
Battery Cables
Distributor Cap and Rotor - hadn't been changed in long time
Plugs - Hadn't been changed in long time.
Plug wires weren't changed - not that bad, not that good.
Air filter
Drain & Fill Anti-freeze.
