So, what ever happened with this truck?@PetroleumJunkie412
Also as I stated in a earlier thread... There still seems to be a loss of power. It's hard for me to tell because I haven't owned one before but it seems weak. Unless this is just how the 2.9 is.
@Bird76Mojo @PetroleumJunkie412So, what ever happened with this truck?
You probably can't find any info on a kick down cable because Ford calls it a T.V. cable. (throttle Valve). until 89' I think. It can be adjustded by squeezing the button on the mechanism at the firewall. It's on the left of the throttle cable. Anyways, squeeze the grey button and pull on the cable. It will pull out about an inch or so. Then go for a drive and get on the freeway (or wherever you can goose it.) and floor it. And that's it, you have your auto set length. Don't worry about the sound and feel. its just the self adjuster. Sounds like a zip tie and feels like your cable pops, like it was stuck.@Bird76Mojo @PetroleumJunkie412

Hey fellas, sorry it took me awhile to get y'all caught up. Anyway, the truck is doing good. BUT I do think I need to adjust the kick down gear cable but I've not found any videos or info on how to do so. Anyone have any idea? Thanks again for all your help fellas! Without you all, I wouldn't be where I'm at. Much appreciated. Just need to get this kick down gear cable adjusted. So if anyone has any insight please chime in. Thanks again!
@PetroleumJunkie412So, are you going to tell us what was actually wrong with it and what you did to fix it?
@CzyRanger@PetroleumJunkie412
I thought you'd never ask. Haha It seems that after all this, it was the o2 sensor.

At what point? This thread is 9 pages long, not counting the private messaging/threads. There's no way that everything you mentioned could have been due to an O2 sensor . Your report of what fixed what might have helped other people that have similar problems in the future. But now... oh well.
