1994 F53

[pablo19]

I have a 1994 Winnebago Vectra with a F53 chassis. I'm having nothing but issues finding replacement parts. Everyone says they're discontinued and cannot find anyone to locate where or what replacement parts may be. I find this to be unbelievable and annoying. Are '95 F53 chassis parts the exact same and am I just running into a glitch on parts databases that doesn't mention the fact? The reason I ask is I did replace the brakes and had no issues at all but shocks, suspension spring pins and bushings, transmission oil pan gasket, rear universal joint, filters, and belts nothing but?

Puzzling to say the least. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Wizzard, the correct ICM for your F53 is gray not black. Most Ford truck ICM modules for the 460 are black but the F53 uses the gray one.

The most informed F53 chassis electrical guru is Subford on IRV2.
When in doubt trust what he says.

I agree with you about Subford, but it is you who are again misquoting him.

In a later post in this thread, you reference this link
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1484093-do-you-have-the-right-icm-gray-vs-black-93-96-a.html

and I suggest you reread message #10 in that link where Subford says that 94 and later F53 V8s use the Black CCD ICM.

my ICM is black, i saw a website with pictures of (4) different modules

(2) gray and (2) black

the gray for manual transmissions aka push start

and the black were for automatic

but the OPs problem is a lack of knowledge of those people serving him and using computer data bases, containing incorrect info

You have been misinformed.
Push start does NOT mean for manual transmissions.

ICM, black ver gray.

Again, if you want the correct info., go talk to subford on IRV2.

so far the only problem i've run into, is autozone selling me the wrong, ICM module for the ignition

no trouble getting other parts for the chassis

Most auto parts stores still have after market parts for the chassis.
Parts for th coach could be harder. You would need exact make and model numbers for some.
