In order to locate the ECU on the 1987 Ford F150, you will need to first remove the ECM. Once the ECM is removed, the ECU lies right behind the left side kick panel.

Yes it does.

Check your firewall, I have seen them break or 'stretch' causing grief for clutch action.

to bypass the computer, u need to change the carburettor, the distributer the coil and if its automatic, u need to change the transmission

P1131 = insuff. switching O2 bank 1 sensor 1 sensor/lean.

possibly a vacumm leak on bank 1 or a faulty O2 sensor, bank 1, sensor 1.

A problem has been detected with the Anti-lock Brake System

It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem

As long as the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is not on , you still have

" normal " brakes

* in my case the ABS light came on and the first ABS fuse that I checked was not installed all the way , I touched the fuse with my finger , heard a click and the ABS light went out ( just lucky I guess , but also suspicious of how that could have happened )

The Ford 5.4 liter V8 engine has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition

system with ( 8 ) individual coils

The firing order is ( 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8 )

In your Ford F-150 the engine cylinder location numbers are :

firewall

4 - 8

3 - 7

The 2010 Ford F-450-Super-DUTY is 21 ft. 10.4 in. (262.4 in.) long.

Bolted to the bottom of the engine , inside the oil pan

Most car makers recommend that the brake fluid be changed every two years.

The make/model of the vehicle is not an issue, it is just that brake fluid has a "life span" of about 2 years once it is in use.

Brake fluid is "hygroscopic", which means it absorbs water from the air, so after about two years of use it needs changing.

Should be 12 Quarts, or 3 Gallons

a T-50 star bit is needed to remove the bolt

It mainly depends on the year it was made. I personally have a 1994 f150 and I had to take the hub out, which consists of a few Alan head screws then you remove the hub asseembly and then it requires a specialty socket to take out 2 more bolts in the hub. Then you take off 5 or 6 bolts that holds the rotor on itself.

your alternator is not charging your battery..u need to get a new alternator

It should, these were the same basic cab and body style. The bench seats use a pretty basic mount (usually 4 bolts, 1 located on ea. corner). Measure the distance between the bolt hole centers to make sure and check the pitch of the threaded fastener. The older cab may use SAE fasteners while the newer cab will use metric fasteners.

The lug nuts on a 2002 Ford F-150 typically have a thread size of 1/2-20 inches and a hex size of 13/16 inch. It's important to confirm the specifications for your specific model, as variations can occur based on wheel options. Always ensure to use the correct size to avoid damaging the lug nuts or wheel.

The identification on a Ford engine is typically found on a metal tag or stamped directly on the engine block. Common locations include the front of the engine near the timing cover, on the driver's side of the engine block, or on the passenger side near the oil filter. Additionally, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can often be referenced to match the engine to the vehicle. For more specific identification, consult the vehicle's service manual or manufacturer's documentation.
