1993 Ford F-350 problems
The Ford Super Duty (also known as the Ford F-Series Super Duty) is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.
Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg), Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option.
Ford also offers a medium-duty version of the F-Series (F-650 and F-750), which is sometimes branded as the Super Duty, but is another chassis variant. The Super Duty pickup truck also served as the basis for the Ford Excursion full-sized SUV.
The Super Duty trucks and chassis-cabs are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio. Prior to 2016, medium-duty trucks were assembled in Mexico under the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture with Navistar International.

Common 1993 Ford F-350 problems
The 1993 Ford F-350 is known for several common problems based on complaints from owners, including issues with the speed control system, alternator belt, automatic transmission, ball joints, hard starting, and suspension.
- Speed Control System: Ford F-350 models with speed control systems, including the 1993 model, have experienced internal leaking in the deactivation switch. This issue has also been reported in 1997-2000 and 2005-2008 F-150s. Ford initially claimed the problem was due to over-torquing replacement spark plugs, but owners have reported ejections of the original spark plugs.
- Alternator Belt: On 1990 to 1994 model F-150s, the alternator belt has been the subject of numerous complaints. A chirping or squealing noise from the engine indicates trouble, which is often caused by a misaligned pulley for the air conditioner or power-steering.
- Automatic Transmission: If the TR/MLP sensor is faulty, the transmission may fall out of alignment, causing the engine to flare when shifting into fourth gear. This issue has been reported most commonly in 1994-1995 model F-150s, but flare-up issues have also been reported in 1990-1993 models due to distorted valve plates.
- Ball Joints: On 1990-1996 Ford F-150s, the ball joints have been particularly vulnerable to water exposure. If exposed, the ball joints are liable to expire prematurely, requiring replacement.
- Hard Starting: Drivers have reported complaints of hard-starting on 1990-1996 model F-150s. Ford has attributed this issue to faulty harness wiring in the power control module, causing symptoms such as vehicular stalling, hesitation, and failure to start. On 1995 and 1996 Ford trucks, hard-starting has also been linked to a stuck idle air control valve.
- Suspension: Owners of 1991 to 1994 Ford trucks have reported problems with the front suspension system due to weak leaf springs along the front of the vehicle. To fix the issue, stronger leaf springs should be installed.
These common problems are based on complaints from owners and should be considered when purchasing or maintaining a 1993 Ford F-350. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent or address these issues.

I must say, this is the best truck I have ever owned. I was involved in a head-on collision with a full-size Chevy van at 70mph, but the truck held up incredibly well. Despite the impact, the engine was not even touched, and I walked away completely unhurt. I am definitely planning on purchasing another F350 Dually Diesel in the future. The fuel economy was also impressive, as I was getting between 19-23 miles per gallon on the highway when empty, and 12-15 miles per gallon with a loaded 4 car trailer. As I have told others, this is the only truck worth buying. Best regards, Mark.

That 460 has a lot of power. It can easily outperform a Chevy or a Dodge any day.
