Hey all, I’ve got a 1985 F-150 with the 5.0L EFI motor. Lately, I’ve been having problems with starting the truck when it gets up to operating temp. I’ll start it cold, drive it a while, and park to get gas or something. When I hop back in the truck to start it, the temp gauge is all the way to “H” and the starter cranks very slowly. I thought it could be the alternator not properly recharging the battery, but I replaced that and am still having the same issue. The starter is new, I just installed it in april. Just wondering if you guys have had similar problems and if you have any solutions for me 🙏🙏

picked this up for $3,000 cash back in november. it’s a 302 with efi and 2wd, but i’ve got the dual tanks and the long bed which is nice. currently only the front tank is working, i suspect something with the valve switch, but i haven’t gotten around to it yet.

so i picked up this truck back in november and since then ive been trying to figure out what this little aftermarket switch is. i’ve driven with it flipped both ways and now i just leave it in the off position, all with no results. any ideas?
