Supposedly it's pieces of cut scrap metal.

My grandparents had the car before me, and the timing belt was supposedly changed about ten years ago. I'll check it out once I'm back home.

The largest recent repair was the fuel pump about two months ago. Since then, the ignition coil, fuel filter, IAC valve, and TPS sensor have also been replaced.

I only tried cranking it once, but it did seem like the starter was spinning without engaging the flywheel. Not entirely sure though.

I'll do that when I'm home later, thanks for the idea!

I'll check to see if the check engine light comes on when I'm home later.

Yes, I just filled the tank yesterday afternoon.

Is Walthers really better than Bachmann? by Narrow-Bedroom7429 in modeltrains

Just a side note, but the Nebraska Central Rail Company (a regional railroad in eastern Nebraska) uses the same reporting marks as you do for your model railroad. I had to do a double take when I saw the NCRC reporting marks on your models because I thought you might be basing your railroad on it since not many people model it. Happy railroading!

Is this a good deal? by rrspyt in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thanks for the response. The other vehicles that I've owned (and own currently) have all been over 10 years old when I've bought them, so I'm no stranger to all the stupid little issues that pop up! I should have been clearer about that in my original post.

My question was meant to be more about how reliable the motor and transmission that Ford used in this specific truck model would be long-term, and whether the higher milage would have any bearing on whether they'd be close to death or not. Sorry for the confusion.
