1993 Mercury Mercury truck problems

Common 1993 Mercury Mercury truck problems

The 1993 Mercury truck is known for several common problems that have been reported by its owners.

Another common problem with the 4.6L 2/3/4-valve V8 engine is the short thread depth in the aluminum cylinder heads, which can lead to stripping of cylinder head spark plug threads. This issue is particularly prevalent in the 2-valve engines, where over-torquing of spark plugs can easily strip the threads. Ford recommends a threaded insert as the method to repair stripped thread and even provides a tool kit specifically for that.

The transmission is another area where the 1993 Mercury truck has been reported to have issues. One owner reported a 1744 code, which the dealer said indicated a transmission problem that required a trans. overhaul and a new valve body. However, the owner questioned whether such extensive work was necessary at only 52,000 miles, given that all powertrain systems are designed to last 100,000 miles.

The ignition lock has also been reported as a problem in the 1993 Mercury truck. One owner reported that the ignition lock had to be replaced by a locksmith who said that Sables and Tauruses were always having this problem. The owner questioned whether this was still a problem in later Sable/Taurus designs.

The steering system has also been reported to have issues in the 1993 Mercury truck. One owner reported a problem with the starter motor, which required replacement. However, the dealer did not have a replacement in stock, and it would be another week before they could schedule replacement. This problem was reported to be common in Ford products.

The paint on the 1993 Mercury truck has also been reported to have issues. One owner reported that the paint on the trunk of their 1991 Sable LS had started to peel, despite being parked in a garage and kept clean. The owner questioned whether there was any implied warranty on the paint from Ford and expressed dissatisfaction with the way the paint had not held up.

Finally, the steering system has been reported to have issues in the 1993 Mercury truck. One owner reported a problem with the starter motor, which required replacement. However, the dealer did not have a replacement in stock, and it would be another week before they could schedule replacement. This problem was reported to be common in Ford products.
