My brother-in-laws '90 Bronco's alt went out this year and the replacement one came with a new plug which I believe is to remedy this problem. You have to cut off the old plug to wire on the new one. If we didn't use the new plug, then it would have voided the warranty on the new alternator.

Subject: Ohio Lemon - Josh?

I am having trouble doing a trade assist. My vehicle qualifies for
the lemon law in Ohio on 3 counts. Ford wants to do a trade assist.
I don't care how they do it I want a new truck. However, the trade
assist seems to be costing me big $$$. SOOO, I may choose to lemon
it. In Ohio I would get back, all payments including taxes, down
payment, trade-in equity, time missed from work for repairs, fair
market value for any installed (and not removable) accessories, and
any other fees associated with the purchase. Ford can keep some money
for time and usage of the truck.

Here's my question (Josh?): What is time and usage? How can I figure
out what Ford gets to keep? I really need to know this!!

Thanks,
Chad

Yo Casey:

The 351W in an F250 should have an 11" clutch disk, if it is the original
factory configuration. The only way to know for certain, though, would be
to pull the transfer case, transmission, and bell housing.

If you don't now have an 11" clutch, you could upgrade to an 11" clutch
anyway. If you're getting a new disk and pressure plate, just specify the
11" size. The only possible problem w/ this is if the 11" pressure plate
won't fit on your flywheel. If that happens, you either replace the
flywheel or go w/ whatever fits.

> The door sticker and VIN number are still there, but I don't
>know what the codes are on the tags. Is there a code for clutch
>size? I need a new clutch here real soon, and napa said it was

As far as I know, there is no code for clutch size. Clutch size is usually
determined by the engine (302, 351, 460, etc.) and application ( Bronco,
F150, F250, 4x4 or 4x2, etc.)

>Has anyone put in eaither a
>centerforce II or centerforce dual friction? Did you like it?
I've heard from guys using them that Centerforce II and Dual Friction
clutches require higher pedal effort than the OEM clutch. An alternative
to a complete Centerforce system would be to use an OEM pressure plate
assembly and a Centerforce disk, if you really want to pay that much more
for the disk or believe that there is some worthwhile advantage to be had.

All those options may not be worthwhile, though, unless you're seriously
anticipating some major mud bogging or extra heavy-duty hauling (way beyond
your truck's normal operating parameters).

In the long run, I don't believe that the Centerforce would give you any
better durability than OEM-type components in exchange for the increased
pedal effort and double (or more) the cost. Moreover, a higher pedal
effort will increase the wear and tear on your clutch linkage as well.

Back in August/September, I replaced the clutch on my F250 4x4 (w/ 351M)
and I had to rebuild the entire clutch linkage (all the way to the bracket
that holds the clutch and brake pedals under the dash) because I let my old
clutch go way too far. The pedal effort got harder and harder because the
pressure plate release mechanism was disintegrating. I finally had to
replace it when the release fingers on the pressure plate wore down so much
that the throw-out bearing popped right through without releasing the
clutch (ouch!!). If you have any more clutch questions, feel free to ask.
I've been there and done that.

BTW: I think Ford discontinued the Warner T18 in its trucks in the mid
'70s. The 4-speed manual you have is probably a New Process 435. It can
be identified by the metal tag held under two bolts on the inspection plate
on the right side of the transmission. The number 435 by itself appears
somewhere on that tag. Another identifier would be the cast aluminum top
cover/shift tower with the New Process logo (the letters NP inside a gear).

Good luck.

Subject: 1999 SuperDuty Questions

Well, I saw the price list posted earlier, and it looks like
it's time to go back to the dealer and start talking. First
I have some questions about the F450/F550 trucks. I'm
interested in a Crew Cab, long bed, duallie for pulling a fifth
wheel in the 11,000 lb area, and as a daily driver. Here's my questions:

1. THe F450 is available with a bed while the F550 is cab/chassis
only. Will an F450 bed fit on the F550? If I ask a dealer to
install a bed on an F550 to make a sale, will I get laughed out
of the office?

2. What's the GCWR of the F450 and the F550? What's the unladen
weight of each? Would the difference between the two disappear
once a bed is added to the F550? In other words, would an F450
end up with more towing capacity than an F550 with a bed added?

3. Is ABS standard on each, can I get it deleted if I want?

4. Can I delete the air bag if I want?

5. Does the instrumentation package include real gauges, or the
current gauge simulations that Ford uses? If they're the regular
Ford gauges, can I have them relaced with real gauges? For the
diesel, does the gauge package include EGT?

6. What's the expected lifetime of the whole system? I know the
diesel engine is long-lived, but how about the rest of the truck?
My current truck, a 1990, is starting to nickel and dime me;
door hinges breaking from metal fatigue, windshield washer pump
quitting, vacuum pump quitting, door locks and windows quitting,
etc. I've heard, and read, that the average comsumer replaces
his vehicle an average of once every 3.5 years, and the manufacturers
design their products with that in mind. I'm looking for a truck
that I can reasonably expect to be the last truck I buy. That's
one reason I'm looking at medium duty trucks as well as pickups;
business class trucks seem to be built for the long haul rather
than the person who trades every few years.

Josh (or anyone else!); if you have answers, or opinions, on any of
these questions, or any other questions I haven't asked yet, feel free
to jump in!

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know what Ford gets to keep. Maybe they see getting

Ohhh a chance to answer questions for you instead of asking :-).

I thought the F450/550 was chassis cab only. As for bed availablity,
I've heard no specifics,but have seen pictures of aftermarket conversions.
Check with the aftermarket sources that Mission Valley uses.

GCWR exceeds 20,000 lbs, but of course it depends on the final gearing
(PSD being a given). While I believe you may favor the manual, I believe the
auto has better tow capacities overall, according to the trailering information.

See the meadowland pointer below for tow info.

I believe the above 10,000 GVWR come standard with ABS.

According to some F350 information I have, air bags are a deletable item.
I'd *guess* this is true for the F450/550 as well.

Guages are presumed to have standard ford issue stuff.
I've seen no references for an EGT options via ford.
(looks like GM may make it an option in their 99 trucks)

As for longevity, we can only hope. Afterall it's first year run
as well.

From: KNBD87D prodigy.com (MR JOSH J TENNEY)
Subject: re: 1999 SuperDuty Questions

Here are some anwsers:

1. The F450 and F550 both are cab/chassis only. The cab chassis
have flat frame rails on the rear, and I don't know yet if the F-350
pcikups do. If the F-350 duallies have flat frame rails in which the
box mounts on, the F-550 chassis will have to be cut about 4" and
then it will work fine.

2. The F-450 and F-550 chassis have the same towing capacities. The
F-550 is actually a bit less just because it weighs more. I don't
have the GCWR, but the GVWR of each is 15,000# for the F-450 and 17,
500# or 19,000# for the F-550. I have some base curb weights: For
the F550 crew cab with the V10 and auto, it is about 6685 lbs for the
4x2 and 7015 lbs for the 4x4. The F-450 crew cab with the V10 and
auto is 6581for 4x2 and 6911 for 4x4. The diesel adds around 700 lbs.


3. There is rear ABS standard and they are front and rear discs.

4. The air bag is standard on drivers side an optional on passengers
side with a on/off switch. It cannot be deleted.

5. They are the standard Ford instrument packages. Maybe there will
be aftermarket companies that will make real guages. Sorry, but I
dont understand "EGT."

6. Ford expects these to last a long time. After a certain number of
years, little things will fail. Door hinges wear out from used, some
electrics need repair or replace. These things just happen. If you
don't want to worry about some of these problems, you should get
manual locks and window and no cruise and stuff like that. It also
depends on driver use/abuse. If you take care of the truck, it will
take care of you. If you start to beat on it, it will beat on you
(your wallet).

I hope this helps.

John,

good point. I was just commenting that someone said something about
a 4 cyl. with 160 hp. I had to check it out. Even the chebbys are
like that. Dakotas are more solid than the latter, but Ford is still
better. Have you ever compared dash layouts for driver comfort? Ford
always has a much better and user friendly design.

I do agree that Ford should do something to the 4.0L to make it
compare with the higher HP V6's even though the torque is pretty much
even. For now, I'm gonna enjoy smokin the tires with my 4.0L.
