Q: Where can i find online info on torque specifications for a 2001 Ford F150 on the piston rod bolts?
Its a 2001 Ford F150 4.6 L V8. I need the torque specifications for the piston rod bolts. I either need you to give me the specs, or the website to access the info FOR FREE. I dont wanna buy a book for just this piece of info. Also, i begin work on the truck tomorrow, i dont have time to order a book and wait for it to ship. Serious answers only please.

A: There is a specific sequence in which the ALL the rod bolts must be tightened, but the actual torque specs. are as follows: Stage 1: Tighten to 43 Nm (32 lb-ft). Stage 2: Tighten an additional 105 degrees. I was unable to copy and paste the actual sequence for the procedure due to the fact that it was shown in an illustration. I hope you are using new rod bolts because they are torque to yield specs. Hope this helps.

Q: Is it legal to have a rear facing carseat for a newborn in a Ford F150 Truck seeing it only hast the one seat?
I have a Ford F150 Truck and was wondering if it was legal in the sate of michigan to have a newborn car seat in the truck or if i would have to get another car with a back seat.

A: As far as I know it's legal to have a child in the front seat of a pickup. What you may want to look into is disabling the passenger side airbag if the truck has one. Normally that's the main reason the front seat is a problem. If you have a passenger side airbag and no means to disable it (many cars have a key'd switch on the dash to do so) you can see a certified mechanic to possibly pull the fuse to the passenger-side airbag. Be advised, however, that if you're going to have other passengers when the child is not with you, they could be at a greater risk of injury. If you have any more questions you can always call your local police (non-emergency line) and double check with them about the legality of it.

Q: where can i find technical diagrams of a ford f150 ?
I need to find tech diagrams of the exhaust so i can figure out whether or not i can fix my truck or if i need to bring it in. i have a 98 ford f150 xl.

A: Usually Chilton manuals, sold at autozone, napa, etc.. have pretty good diagrams in the back of the manual, at least for electrical, and emisions. Its a vague question though, cant you just look and your exhaust and figure it out? or is it like an O2 sensor or converter? a leak should be detecable by feel with the vehicle running, or by ear.

Q: my 89 ford f150 air pump pulley and crankshaft pulley wont spin?
i have a 1989 ford f150, 5.0 liter 302 with efi, my air pump pulley and crank shaft pulley wont spin when the cars is started wich is cause the other pulley to spin very slow, how can i fix it?

A: Sounds like the air pump froze and sheared the key wedge in the crankshaft pulley. Pull the crank pulley and check the wedge. Possible the bolt backed off enough to allow the pulley to move forward but unlikely. Either way it has to be pulled and checked. Air pumps fail at no set time and I am surprised it didn't just strip the belt off. Must have been at a high speed and quite tight.

Q: Where are the spark plugs located and how do you replace them? For a 2001 Ford f150 harley davidson?
2001 ford f150 plugs where are they at cant find them? and is it easy to do your self?

A: Ratttle Kattle is wrong... the 4.6L and 5.4L modular V-8's have a coil for every plug that plugs directly into the top of the plug. There will be four of these coil units on each valve cover and under the coils are the plugs. There is no distributor or spark plug wires to trace to find the plugs on these engines.
