1990 Ford F-150 XLT, about 250,000 miles. Ignoring limited-production supercars, which current or recent cars have the ingredients collectors may care about later: drivetrain, design, rarity, enthusiast following, manual availability or a unique platform? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

OP update: I tried the suggestion from earlier and it only happens under that one condition.

OP update: I tried the suggestion from earlier and it only happens under that one condition. That is from a 1990 Ford F-150 in Sacramento, so take the climate with a grain of salt.

Before you spend money, owner data points help more than a generic forum diagnosis on a 1990 Ford F-150.

I would start here: write down what you already tested so the next step is not a repeat.
