While you are on the subject of spray-on liners, I would like to know
about what you guys paid for yours. I called a local
Rhino dealer and got a quote of $399. I want to be sure I'm getting the
best deal if I'm gonna pay that much!

This accessory power exists on my 98 EB Expedition. IF you DON'T open a
door! It's handy for rolling up power windows (and I have the moonroof and
pwr rear quarters, too). Haven't tried it with the radio though.

I asked this question several days age, but for some reason have not
received the list postings until today. Please forgive any repetition.
Has anyone else noticed that their computer reads 2 or more mpg high?
My 99 F-250 PSD with 4500 miles is getting around 16.7mpg and the
computer is saying 18.5 to 19.2.

Any rereplies appreciated,

Subject: FTE 97up - 87 F150 302 warm idle roughness

Cold my F150 with FI302 runs like a scalded dog. When warm, it runs like a
regular dog :) It idles rough, and even under light acceleration, it
misses. This isn't a consistant miss, like a plug wire off, but an erratic
miss. I've replaced the EGR valve, and this motor was rebuilt 6000 miles
ago. The injectors were cleaned at the time, and new plugs/wires installed.
The entire distributer has been replaced, and all electronics. The computer
did die on me, and it has been replaced as well.

Any thoughts?

A co-worker of mine has been investigating various spray-on bed liners for
his Ford Lighting due in at the end of March. At a Rhino shop that's been in
business for some seven years, the owner produced from a freezer in his office,
several frozen swatches of spray-on material. One was a Rhino and the others
his competitors. (They all varied in thickness with Ziebart being the
thinnest.)

All appeared to stay flexible at freezing accept for the LinerX, which was hard
as a rock. The owner made a big point of this with my co-worker.

Anyone else see a similar demonstration?.

Subject: RE: FTE 97up - Bed liners

we hit a metal panel with propane torch covered in Scorpion liner. for two
minutes, it didnt melt or get hard.
it did discolor, but when it was cool, a sponge and dawn dishwashing liquid
cleaned the soot off

we then hit a metal panel without any coating... after 2 minutes it was
glowing very red... and the metal warped when it was cooled.

didnt have any other products there, but the point was to check and see if
the scorpion liner would get damaged or catch on fire running so close to
the exaust under my jeep (it was scorp'ed top and bottom)... and it appears
to have passed.

On my 98 F150, as soon as the key is moved to LOCK, the radio is turned
off, though it does keep power, and the power windows still move until
a door is opened.

Neat demo. However, I live in the Deep South, where it rarely freezes. I'm
more concerned about the performance of Rhino vs. LineX when exposed to the
hot Louisiana sunshine. I don't want to load up my bed on a sizzling summer
day and find that my cargo has become a permanent addition to my truck.
Have any fellow Southerners had a few years worth of experience with either
of the aforementioned products? Has there been any melting, sticking,
staining, etc.? I'm going to call and make an appointment this week, so
fast replies would be appreciated.

I would like to thank Scott ( I hope that was his name) for instructing me on
how to remove the door panels on the 99 superduty. The death of the tow
mirror is over, a new one was installed for 131 bucks. What a deal! With the
help of Scott, the project took about 30 mins. to install the new mirror. If
anybody wants the old mirror, let me know, the outer plastic was damage, but
with a little goop it was somewhat put back together.

My 99 Superduty's computer reads about 1 to 1.5 mpg higher than actual. Most

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the info,

Vaughn

I bought some Ultra polished Aluminum wheels and Les Schwab Wild
Country TXR in 285/75R16 last September. I love the tires. The
wheels I am not so happy with. All of the chrome plated lug nuts
and axle hub covers have spot rust on them, and one of the
wheels has tarnish spots which will not come off.

Think good and hard before going the route of a polished alloy-
they require regular cleaning and polishing to keep their
finish. If I buy aftermarket mags again, I'll go back to coated
aluminum, which wash up easy with soap and water and you're
done.

Just my $0.02.

Hey Mike! Thanks for the tip on the accessory power! I've had my 99 F250
SD CC for five months now and had no clue that I was able to open and close
the windows with the key off. I had to go out to the garage just to see if
it was really true. I wondered why I would always hear a relay disconnect
when I opened the door after turning off the key. I thought it was just to
light up the buttons for the PW & PL buttons.

I have no clue how one would get the radio to work with this option.

I added remote entry with remote start and alarm to my 98 F150. I talked to
the Dealer, and they quoted me $300 for the Ford Unit, installed. They were
the ones that suggested I try the aftermarket. I got a Prestige unit
installed at a Car Stereo place for $275 with alarm. So far, it works fine,
except it doesn't have the range that my 95 with factory remote keyless had.

Years ago I was working in Denver during the winter. This place is dry, and
static electricity on everything was the norm. The solution that I was shown
by some of the old timers was to hit the door knobs, whatever with the Back of
your hand first. You are correct, too many nerve endings on the fingers but
the back of the hand is pretty insensitive. It's a temporary work around until

Subject: Re: FTE 97up - Driving with back injuries

I'm driving right now with a minor back injury. And the car I'm driving seems
to make it worst by being too constrictive. It a Ford Contour, a small squeeze
box loaner from my dealership while I wait for my Super Duty.

The injury is a pinched nerve right between my shoulder blades. Nothing as
serious as your's sounds, and probably will be gone in a week or two. But
getting in and out of this tiny vehicle seems to aggravates it. And with big
shoulders, those tiny seats don't help either. Can't find a good position that
lasts for long. So my point is that I think a large truck would be good for your

back. (Sorry, the S10 doesn't qualify.)

As far as stick shift, I once got a deep gash on my right elbow that required
stitches and while it was healing, I learned to shift with my right foot (shoe
on).
Sounds funning and I can laugh at it now - but I actually got pretty good at it.

Best regards and a speedy recovery,

Charles.

I recently had back surgery (had a ruptured disc repaired). I have a
'98 F-150 SC, and a '89 Mustang. I found the F-150 seats caused my back
to give me some grief and the Mustang's seats much more comfortable.

I fixed the F-150 seat problem by using a seat cushion borrowed from
a dining room chair (the kind that tie to the seat). This made me sit
higher in the seat and kept my back from contouring to the seat.

I had an operation in my lower back some 16-17 years ago, had to trim a disc
away from the sciatic nerve. I had been driving a compact Jap. car to save
gas in the early 80's. My doc told me that all of his back patients drove
pickups. I got back in a PU, a diesel Chev. and the heavy duty front
springs made me wonder about my decision, but I got a small cushion for my
lower back and it corrected the problem. It was a manual transmission. My
back "went out" while on a trip in a Pontiac Catalina.

My good doctor and the PU's apparently remedied my problem, it has not
re-occurred. I think a PU is the way to go even though you may have to
experiment with various cushions.

Slightly off topic:

Many years ago when I lived in central Europe, I got my left ankle
dislodged. The pain BTW was quite incredible. Anyway, after X-rays and a
cast I could not walk without help and my wife was on vacation at our
cottage 200 miles away. So I crawled into my Skoda (that was not a vehicle
of choice, there was no other vehicle available) and drove that distance
without clutch. The only problem was to get moving. I did it by switching
the ignition off, shifting into the first and then starting the engine. The
car jumped around a little, but then got moving and from there I shifted
without clutch. I even picked up a hitchhiker on the highway. You would
not believe his face, when he saw my driving style, but by then it was to
late for him to step out :-)

In my case, a couple of local doctors highly suggested a sports ute or a
mini-van for seat support and ease of entering/exiting. Since there are
vitrually no returns on mini-vans here, I settled for the Explorer. Now,
wish I had done so years ago.

I don't have an injured back, but hubby fractured a vertebrae 3 years ago
falling off a loading dock. Yes, it was painful and for the year following
the injury, he was off several months. He still has trouble with it. But as
for driving the truck. No problem. We have a '97 F250 Powerstroke with the
5-speed tranny. Of course, he only gets to drive it on weekends or when we go
on a trip. This MY truck. But again back to back injuries and driving a
manual. He doesn't have any problems with it. He can adjust the seat for
him. And when we do travel, we do stop every couple of hours to get out and
walk around.

I've had back problems for about 35 years, I think the real
answer is learn to live with it. Learn how to position your
body when sitting, standing or laying down. Sometimes you
have to shim the body up with another cushion or pillow, and
its impossible to be comfortable in any one position over a
long period of time (such as driving long distances). For
me the most comfortable position for driving is to raise the
seat or sit on an addition cushion, once on the road and the
speed control can be set, place both feet flat on the floor
board and back against the front of the seat, knees as low
as possible. But remember what works for me may no for you.
As for driving a manual trans car, if driving a manual
causes pain then try an automatic. Good luck, hope my reply
doesn't sound rude, but been there done that, its whatever
feels comfortable to you.

According to an engineer at Navistar, the company that builds the 7.3L
POWER STROKEr to Ford's exacting specifications, all 7.3L V-8s built
for Ford since Job #1, January 1999, no longer require a catalytic
converter to meet emissions regulations.

Navistar modified the fuel system, the air intake system, the engine's

Navistar to eliminate the catalytic converter.

An engineer from Eaton (manufacturer of Ford's fan clutches) called me
today and I told him about how both my original and the dealer replaced
fan clutches cause irregular and "higher than necessary" fan speeds,
particularly in sub-freezing winter temps. He told me that Eaton does
not test the clutch operation in cold temps since they are more
concerned with cooling at high temps. They typically start testing at
80F and go up. Can you believe it? OK Ford owners, the next time you
start up your truck, listen to and/or watch the cooling fan operation,
and see if it doesn't go up and down all the time, and run fast (and
blow lots of air) when its cold out. Starting up a stone cold engine
should never engage the fan clutch since it won't engage until around
170F -- the Eaton engineer concluded. Then why is it running so fast?
It takes forever for the cab to warm up, I think in large part because
the fan is blowing the cold air against the fire wall so hard. I would
like to hear from other F owners how their cooling fans operate, both
stone cold and when warmed up. Thanks alot!

Ashok,

I installed a custom CAT Back exhaust system with Dual 2 real exit
pipes.
It isn't stainless due to the costs. I went with aluminized Steel.
The
muffler is a Dynomax and the sound is very very good. Deep tone, but
not
too loud. The muffler shop (local MIDAS) had some challenges running
the
rear pipes, however, they got it done. They both exist at the same
location
as the stock rear. I really like the system and I'm especially glad
I
went with the dual exits rather than a single aftermarket cat back
system.
Every keeps asking me where I got the Expedition with dual exhaust or I
love
the "what kind of engine to you have in that thing, it sounds great?"

Bob,

All that is needed is to run a wire to the radio power
circuit from GEM power lead for the window switch circuit.
Just make sure you cut the radio power circuit from it's
original power source so it doesn't fry the GEM. As for why
Ford mentioned it, all I can say is someone goofed.

Jon,

The HP is 210

5000 rpm and torque is 260 lbs/ft

3000
rpm. For the axle ratio look at the Vehicle certification
label on the driver side door jam or door. In the box
marked axle you will see a code. 18 = 3.08 19 = 3.55 and
H9 = 3.55 limited slip. There is no limited slip offered
with the 3.08.

Regards

Jean Marc Chartier
