about a week ago I was driving along when I lost all electrical power The
gauges all went to zero, and I continued home on battery power. Then all was
dead. The dealer said there was a problem in the instrument cluster, which
got replaced, along with the fuel gauge, wiiring harness and battery. Truck
is an F-150 1997 Lariant with only 4,000 miles. Triton V-8 4.6. Anyone
else had a similar problem?

Subject: FTE 97up - Remote Starting System

Does anyone know if adding a remote starting system to a Ford truck (1999
F-350 w/V-10 in my case) is possible? Does it do anything to the warranty as
far as Ford is concerned? Will Ford install one? Also, does it matter if the
air-conditioning is in the "on" position when starting the truck or should it
be left "off" until the engine is running? Finally, has anybody found any
companies manufacturing brushguards and visors for the new super duties yet?
Thanks.

Warn has one grillguard in black or chrome. The black grillguard is part
> #38050 and is $282 and the chrome is #38051 and is $482. You can contact them
email at CSALS Warn.com I just talked to them today and they will not have
the brushguard for another 6 weeks or so. The grillguard takes all their
winches up to 12,000lbs and uses the oem bumper.

Does your Super Duty have an auto trans or the 6 speed? Performance
Products (www.performanceproducts.com) has a remote starter in their Spring
98 specialty catalog for Ford Trucks and Sport Utility vehicles. The
catalog number is 11F. Looks like a generic unit, says it works with all
vehicles with auto and fuel injection. Once you decide what you want and
install it, why don't you post your experience so that others can learn
from it?

I had some similar "hints" that a problem might be forthcoming. I heard what I
thought was voltage snaps under the dash. The snaps sounded like the flashers
but they weren't on. Then while running down the road at about 65mph I head the
same damn snapping but this time it was faster than the flasher clicks. I really
"know" voltage leaks and I do expect some problems from the sounds that I heard.
I have 39K on the F-150 and have it in for arbitration.
