Joe L.,
Did you use to BOX too ? :-)
Okay,
I don't know of any specific problems with your '91. One
VERY good possibility is that your voltage regulator is pooping
out. When mine on the bronco started going I would have to jump
the truck every couple of days. Just before I found the problem
it would take only about two hours for the battery to COMPLETELY
drain. Start with the simple stuff first. Wait, I'm not sure if your
voltage regulator is in with the alternator or not. Anyone ? My voltage
regulator is mounted on the passenger side fender well, next to the starter

selenoid as is most votlage regulators that are not integral to the
alternator.
Anyways get the regulator looked at.

A voice from experience: Because of my voltage regulator problem
I ended up knowing where EVERY one of my wires ran, every harness,
and every instrument panel wire/bulb. That stuff is good to know, but
if you START with the simple checks you may come out ahead. :-)

I just bought a 91 F150XLT xt-cab with the 5.0 V8. While taking my brother
for a ride yesterday he asked me if the person that owned it before me did a
lot of towing with it? I said I don't know, how would I? He asked if the
transmission is ever sluggish or hesitant to change gears promptly and
smoothly.

Well it does, usually from 1st>2nd or 2nd>3rd depending on speed and rate of
acceleration. Is this bad? It is irritating I know that. Is it expensive
to correct?

Sorry for the delay in my response. I've been out with the flu. As for
the 4Di on a 4x4, we have it on a Jeep CJ. It's great. If you're into
serious 'wheeling it is something you should check into, as fuel
starvation at ridiculous angles is no longer a problem. As for
real-world testimonies from non-employees, I don't know anyone
personally. Let me tell you this right up front, just because I work for
Holley does not mean that I am in "marketing mode" when I'm on the list.
I will do my best to relay the truth about anything you ask. Just bear
in mind that any and all opinions I express are mine and mine only, and
Holley Performance Products does not endorse my commentary in any way,
shape, or form. Good Luck!

Have you had any feedback on the 4DI by people that have installed it on
a
4x4???

I know they work killer in street applications, but wondering how well it
would do in my
Bronco ( mainly off-road use) before I drop the healthy chunk of change
for
1.
