Another new f150..
Ok I bought this f150 for 800 bucks, it's very very rough but I figured if it ran and drove and the 4x4 works it's gotta be worth something, anyways it's a 1997 f150 4x4 ext cab long bed, 5.4 auto, tranny shift hard sometime and has alittle shudder in OD(any ideas?) check engine light flashes at you while driving has no driver side cat, interior is rough, motor runs ok, cuts out once in awhile, tires are ok, 4x4 works good, rides nice, needs brakes also think one is dragging, here some pics, think I did ok? Or got ripped off? I have some big plans for this truck if the motor and tranny check out to be ok, also the part I hate most is 253k miles..

Re: Another new f150..
I think the CEL flashing means a miss fire. Pull the codes and it will tell you.

Re: Another new f150..
Personally I would have passed. Fix your missfire, and your od shudder should go away. Good luck, you're gonna need it...
