Known issues on the 1993 F-700 LPO. Four recalls are on federal record for this truck. In cold weather, moisture can freeze in the air dryer and raise pressure until the cartridge parts from its base. Cast spoke wheels assembled with the wrong clamps can bend and break their studs, which risks the rim and tire leaving the wheel. Vibration can also fracture the throttle return springs, and a hand throttle cable can wear the governor swivel until the lever sticks. The one complaint on record is about the wheels, which the manual's wheel and hub torque figures address.
