I was very happy with this truck for the first 5 years. But after that even with taking great care of the truck it started to fail the altenator....$400,replacing 2 exhaust tubes for emissions $450,rear spring shackels and mount $450, the trans mission is now failing cost not known yet, never been in an accident but doors don't line up anymore water leaks in,lower sheetmetal of truck bed rusting through paint even with being waxed many many times,vent windows leak and are rusting, I know vehicels need alot of care but I think the worst problem was the rusting out of the rear spring mounts and shackels this is a real danger ,I have never heared of this happening to any vehicle. I know of two other 93 f 150's with the same problem. I hope someone can get the word out to others with 1993 f 150's so they can have this checked out for their safety.

Passenger side factory exhaust manifold cracked without warning, showing fracture between cylinders two and three. Exhaust sounds increased both during idle and at speed. Noise can be described as crackling/popping at idle and a very loud high-speed turbulence (as if from a large engaged clutch fan) when accelerating. Cracked manifold has triggered "check engine" light on long trips (after 3+ hours highway driving). Have no reason to suspect the cracked manifold is a replacement. Appears to have cracked spontaneously and without external assistance (I.e. Driving through deep water, over rough terrain). Increased exhaust noise as a result of the failure was only heard at wide-open throttle, and progressed to a full-time leak within 30 days. Other stories similar to this one abound, I believe this is an issue of design.
