Hi all my truck from AZ. is hear.
Question,the rubber around the outside of the windows in the doors to keep
water out is cracked and missing in some places.
Can you purchase this and replace it yourself?
Also the gasket around the rear window seems to have shrunk,can this also be
replaced yourself?
Thanks Blaine in KY.

Subject: FTE 80-96 - transmission sounds

I have an 85 f250 2 wheel drive and i'm getting a constant whining from the
transmission. The trans does not slip or give any indication of problem as of
yet. Another question i have is the transmission has a large 64 stamped on
the top of the bell housing as well as small 64 in front of the pan. Any idea
what this might be.

Subject: FTE 80-96 - K&N FIPK Installation, & Performance

I installed the K&N FIPK, PN 57-2503, last weekend
and the instructions call for an additional application
of K&N filter oil on top of the coat that it comes with.
(If you take it off-road)

After I ran the truck for 2 days I noticed a glob of oil
on the drive way. Right off I knew it was the K&N filter
> oil running out of the filter. I over did it. I suggest anyone
doing this to just smear on the extra oil and not squirt
it on per the instructions.

I am pleased with the increase in performance.
I also noticed a significant increase in noise as
mentioned on the list many times. This is only
unpleasant (when wife says "Damm!, listen to
your truck") at full acceleration and under heavy
load. I am convinced that some of this noise is
somehow amplified by the high flow exhaust system.

Just one problem now.

Does anyone know the yellowline and redline
RPMs for this truck?

Does anybody know of a place to get replacement parts for a sliding rear
window, or do you have to replace the entire window?

The Latch on my Slider has broken off.

Thanks!

You can get this at J(unk) C(learinghouse) Whitney. (Good one Ryan) The
window channel pieces are about $20 and the scraper that goes along the
inside and outside bottom of the window is about $50. Its no problem to
install.

I am NOT a JC Whitney advocate; most of the items they sell take
advantage of the notable lack of taste of the general public. But there
are *some* items that would be very hard to find other places.

Keith do you know who made it? if so pass it on and I can look at the
wreckers and might as well search the WWW. Pleas pass all the pertinent
info: yr,model, etc etc.

P.S. does anyone own a mini-van ??? hehehehehehe

Subject: FTE 80-96 - Driveline clunk

I have a 96 F-350 4x4 351W 5spd. and I have been having some trouble
with a clunk when I am getting on and off the gas or when I hit a bump
just the right way while shifting gears. I took the truck in for a tsb
on the rear drive shaft but that didn't really help. The dealer tells me
it is a common noise with my type of transfer case. But I can't believe
that's true. Does anyone out there with a similar truck have this
trouble. I climbed under and checked the u-joints and they seem nice and
tight but if I hold the small end of the rear drive shaft and twist the
large end I hear a noise that is close to what I hear while driving.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have a buffing wheel and some polishing compound?

Just wondering, is there a market for perfect condition rear
window glass for a 67-72? I put a sliding window in mine and
the old glass has been sitting in the new window box ever
since.

Hey all, and Jon!
My background is in roadracing and handling of sportscars and not trucks =
but if was me, and my F-150, 2wd, shortbed didn't have a swaybar stock =
or any roadgoing truck for that matter, I would carefully drive down to =
the junkyard and pull off a set from a junker. The bar and the hardware =
don't wear out, just the bushings. Order a new set from anyone and there=
you are.
And yes, I would absolutley put one on, Both Ends!

BTW: I have had my '89 F-150 4x4, front and rear swaybars, supercab, long=
bed, campershell, 31x15's All Terrains, (with a student!), on an autocros=
s course at pretty good speed and it did ok. I know there is at least =
one list member who also has a porsche that knows what I'm talking about.=

I've got a 1994 F-150, 2wd, shortbed. Has anyone ever ADDED a front
