1998 Ford Ford truck problems
The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup. Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6–8 commercial trucks.
History
The F-Series was first introduced in 1948 as a replacement for a previous pickup model line based on car platforms.
The most popular version of the model line is the F-150 pickup truck, currently in its fourteenth generation (introduced for the 2021 model year). From 1953 to 1983, the entry-level F-Series pickup was the 1⁄2 ton F-100. Starting in 1984, the F-150 became the entry-level. The F-150 has a long-running high-performance off-road trim level introduced for 2010, the (SVT) Raptor currently consisting of three generations. Production of the F-150 SVT Raptor ended in 2014 and it was planned to be succeeded by a new F-150 Raptor, which is based on the thirteenth and fourteenth generation F-150.
The F-Series trucks have been developed into a wide range of design configurations. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Big Job" conventional trucks (the forerunners of the Ford L-series), the model line has been marketed as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van (a predecessor of the Ford E-Series). The F-Series has served as the platform for various full-sized Ford SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Excursion. The F-Series has been marketed by its three North American brands: by Mercury as the M-Series (in Canada from 1948 to 1968), and by Lincoln in the 2000s, as the Blackwood and the later Mark LT (2010s for the latter in Mexico only).
Since 1977, the F-Series has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in the United States; it has been the best-selling vehicle overall since 1981. The F-Series has been the best-selling truck in Canada for over fifty years. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion (~$49 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Ford. By January 2022, the F-Series models have sold over 40 million units. Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.

Common 1998 Ford Ford truck problems
The 1998 Ford F-150 has been known to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are some of the issues in detail:
- Automatic Transmission: If the TR/MLP sensor is faulty, the transmission is liable to fall out of alignment. Consequently, the engine might flare as you shift the truck into fourth gear. Drivers have reported this problem most commonly in 1994-1995 model F-150s. On 1990-1993 models, flare-up issues with the transmission have also been reported. However, the problem occurs when drivers shift the truck between the second and third gears. On these vehicles, Ford has attributed the issue 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. Consequently, you will need to change them out for new ones.
- Hard Starting: Drivers have reported complaints of hard-starting on 1990-1996 model F-150s. Ford attributed this issue to faulty harness wiring in the power control module. Symptoms of the problem include 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. An engine that cranks and stalls or fails to start altogether indicates this problem.
- Suspension Problems: Owners of 1991 to 1994 Ford trucks have reported problems with the front suspension system. The problem is due to weak leaf springs along the front of the vehicle. To fix the issue, get newer, stronger leaf springs.
- Broken Rear Springs: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received three reports of broken rear springs on 1997-98 F150 trucks, two of them have two-wheel drive. If the vehicle is overloaded, the rear leaf springs can be overstressed. A fatigue fracture of the spring can occur. The center leaf of the spring can fracture at the forward edge of the spring seat and, in some cases, contact the fuel tank.
- Differential Noise: The NHTSA has also received complaints about front differential noise in 1999 F-150s. This issue can be due to problems with the driveline or the differential unit. It is recommended to check the full alert on NHTSA's website for more information.
- Engine Knock at Cold Start-Up: The NHTSA has received complaints about engine knock at cold start-up in 1999 F-150s. This issue can be due to problems with the engine or the engine cooling system. It is recommended to check the full alert on NHTSA's website for more information.
- Incorrect Installation of Camshaft Position Synchronizer (CMP): The NHTSA has received complaints about incorrect installation of the camshaft position synchronizer in 2002-2003 F-150s. This issue can cause engine-gear driven synchronizers problems. It is recommended to check the full alert on NHTSA's website for more information.
- Tie Rod End Inspection: The NHTSA has received complaints about tie rod end inspection in 2003 F-150s. This issue can cause steering problems. It is recommended to check the full alert on NHTSA's website for more information.
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illumination with No Hard Fault: The NHTSA has received complaints about malfunction indicator lamp illumination with no hard fault in 2003 F-150s. This issue can cause electrical system problems. It is recommended to check the full alert on NHTSA's website for more information.
It is important to note that these issues may not affect all 1998 Ford F-150 trucks and some problems may have been addressed in later models. It is recommended to consult with a certified mechanic or a Ford dealership for further information.
