Subject: FTE 97up - 1999 Powerstroke questions

I have a few questions for new Powerstroke owners.

Have any of you added a preluber? If so, whose?

Gauges--whose boost and exhaust temperature (and oil pressure with
numbers) gauges do you recommend? Is there a fitting for the
temperature pickup, or do you have to weld a fitting into the exhaust
> tubing?

Thanks,
Derek

I have no idea why the snow plow option is not available on the S/C. Ford
does weird things like this on occasion. The snow Plow package includes:

Highest front GAWR springs
> aux.. rear springs
> HD 78 A.H. battery (gas engine only)
HD 130 Amp Alternator (gas engine only)

If you order the heavy service Suspension pkg you get:
Front Stabilizer bar
Heavy service front springs
> aux. rear springs.

Then if you order the Trailer tow or Camper package you'll get the HD
electrical portion of the Snow plow prep. So you should be set to go.

I am confused by the recent posts on which automatic transmission is delivered
with the SD.

I have ordered a a 1999 F250 SD with the practically all the available options
including the following:
Diesel - 99F
Automatic Transmission - 44E
I did not order the PTO - 62R explicitly

Which transmission will I getm the E40D or the 4R100?

Thanks.
