Subject: FTE 97up - Alarm System / Extended Warranty

My dealer tells me that Ford makes an alarm system with a remote starter that
he can install on my F-350. Anyone know anything about the system including
the price?

If I want to buy an extended warranty from Ford on my F-350, do I have to buy
it at the time I take delivery or can I get it later? What about the third-
party extended warranty I have noticed several posters talking about?

Thanks.

Nathan:

You mentioned that the '99 F-150 brochures are in. Did you get the '99
Expeditons as well?

Thanks.

No, just the F-Series. They sent the F-Series out early because everyone
was running low on Super Duty Brochures. I did get a message that the power
pedal option will be about $200, but other than that I haven't heard
anything on Expeditions. There are also incentives on new 98's now $850
dealer cash.

I'm ordering a f250 tow vehicle with the 7.3L powerstroke.
how important is a 3.73 rear end? trailer will not be huge,
say a 25ft fiver. seems to me a 3.73 would be fine.
any of you guys have different feelings?

Russ,

A 25' fiver will weigh in around 8,500 lbs wet (plus or minus a few hundred
pounds). With a SD F250 PSD running a 3.73 you won't even know it is there
most of the time, and when you're not towing, the ability to cruise at 70
mph turning 2100 rpm will be quite tasty.

Subject: FTE 97up - Re: Rebates

I signed a purchase order for a new F150 on 10 July (still waiting for
delivery), but there was no mention by the salesman of the $350 dealer cash
incentive that was discussed on this list recently. Would I be entitled to
this incentive or is this for the dealer only?

Thanks,

90% of the Power Strokes I sell have the 3.73 (or 3.55 on pre Super Duty).
This engine has so much low end power it doesn't need to rev high to pull a
load. Here in Iowa it's really flat and (In Automatic applications) the
3.73 feels a lot more impressive than the 4.10.
