1993 Ford LS8000 problems

What is wrong

The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.

Risk

This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.

Remedy

Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. Also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.

What is wrong

As a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.

Risk

If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle is being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt. If the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Remedy

The throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.
