A 7000 lb trailer vs a bass boat? Hmmm.....

I do love the idea of a 454 a constant 4 grand. I can hear them rods comin
unglued now..

Subject: FTE 97up - Door cracks

Here is another anecdote regarding the door cracks (not that any more is
needed). Last night I was coming home late, and decided to stop by my
nearby dealer to check out their just-arrived Excursion. Nice truck.
Anyway, since I was there, I thought I'd take a quick poll on their used 97
& up F150's. They had 16 of them on the lot of virtually every
configuration - except I didn't see any without power windows.

Of the 16 total, 14 of them had cracks in at least one door. Several had
them on both doors, but of the ones that only had it on one door, it was on
the driver's door in all cases. The location of the crack didn't vary more
than 3/16" up or down on any of them.

While I personally think the power window theory is the most viable one, I
have a co-worker with a '98 SC 4x2 without power windows. His driver door
is cracked.

Why do you compare a Chevy 2500 with an F-150? You should be comparing to a
SuperDuty! (or at least an F-250 "non-SuperDuty").

From: "Union Auto"
Subject: Re: FTE 97up - question about the new gmc and silverado compared with ford

From what I've seen and heard the Ford engines have more power than the GM
engines (actually many people that have the new ones tell me their old 350
Vortec's had more power than the new 5.3L). Personal observations and Truck
trends dyno tests both support this. The new GM engines seem to be getting
better mileage. The GM's have a much firmer shifting transmission though.
I really like the way they shift, however I've had people come in an
complain about this.

As for room, The Reg. cabs are very compareable (SD is wider, 150 is
slightly bigger) and the Supercabs, The Front seats seem big to me on both
(I'm 5'7" so headroom isn't a big issue to me) The back seat is more
comfortable on the GM (the 2000 Ford seats are better than '99 but GM's are
more comfortable). The SD is MUCH wider than the chevy (actually the truck
is bigger in most ways, that's why the Chevy adds brag about having a bigger
extended cab than F-150 instead of F-Series).

GM has serveral luxary items that Ford doesnt' (but I bet will by the
beggining of the year) such as heated seats and Power passenger seat. The
Super Crew will have Power Pedals, and the Lariats already have Keypad entry
and signal mirrors. So this is a toss up, but I think once Ford adds a few
more options they'll hav an advantage here.

Subject: FTE 97up - SD Auto shifting

Nathan or anyone for that matter,
you mentioned that the shift is firmer in the GM. This is the only
complaint I have with my truck. I have the 250 sd with an auto behind
the v-10 and it shifts like a slug. Is there any way to adjust the tranny
to shift firmer? I've heard that the chips change the shifting. Do you
know if they modify shift point, rpm wise, or the time it takes to go from
one gear to another or is it a combination of the two?
I have added after market tires 255/85 r16's. I had it delivered with
them, never had a chance to drive it stock, so I'm not sure if they have
effected the shift by throwing off the speedometer. Have any of the speedo
re calibrations you have done helped the shifting?

thanks

Talking to one of the better local speed shops, their strong suggestion is
to install a Banks Powerpack Exhaust kit. They claim a 20% HP increase
without the decrease in engine longevity that comes from supercharging on a
standard V10. Not surprisingly, cost is not cheap. Anyone go this route?
I would appreciate any feedback.

I have a Superchip in my 99 SD V10. Defineately firmed up the shifting
considerably. I am not sure if it changed the shift points or not since I
am running 35" tires, so the shift points are already off. I can say that
I was originally skeptical on the Superchips, but I am definately sold on
it. Noticeable performance gain and about 1 -1.5 MPG gain.

I installed a Banks Trans Command on my 99 F350SD 4x4 cc. I really like
what it did for the shifts. Everything happens faster and more firmly.
Installation was ~ 30 minutes. I paid ~$275 mine direct from Banks but you

Subject: FTE 97up - GMC & Silverado compared with Ford

Bill:

I didn't wanna write a book back on the digest, but do have some
experience towing with a truck about the same as yours. I have a 98
F150 SC 4.6l Automatic w/3.55 locking rear end. My truck also did not
come with the towing package. I tow a 25' Coachmen travel trailer that
weighs about 5,000 wet and has the aerodynamics of a wall.

My two biggest concerns were overheating the engine and
overheating the tranny since I don't have the towing package. Of course
I put on a class IV hitch with load levelers and electric brakes. I
basically built my own towing package.

First..... without the towing package you get a thin radiator that is
about 1" thick. It's a single row. The towing package includes a much
thicker radiator that is 2 or 3 rows thick - however.... the height and
width are the same. I checked with a dealer about buying the super
cooling radiator and he said it's something like $360 at the parts
counter - not including installation of course. I checked with a local
radiator shop that said he could get one the next day for $240 new (last
year). I jumped on that. When it came in, the box was from Jer-Dan
radiator or something like that. But when I opened the box, the
radiator was a OEM Ford radiator. Only took me a hour or so to put it
in.

Next, I got a tranny cooler from Pep Boys for about $55. I made
a bracket for it for in front of the a/c condenser and ran two lines
down and tapped into the return line that goes from the radiator back to
the tranny. (Quick trick to see what line to cut - I crawled underneath
a new truck at the dealer to see where the factory line splices in.
There are two lines next to one another) My cooler is about 8" high by
about 12" wide which is a bit bigger than the factory setup. It does a
good job.

I don't use overdrive when towing because it won't sustain it.
I'd rather do 60mpg in 3rd at about 2500rpm and not kill my tranny or
torque converter. It does well this way and I get about 10mpg.

I wouldn't recommend a 5th wheel trailer with my setup or yours
though unless it's a ultralight. The frontal area is too big.

Subject: FTE 97up - SuperChip Installation Help!

Mike,

I have a SuperChip for my F-350 SuperDuty V-10 4X4 / SuperCab / Longbed /
etc. But I have not been able to locate where to install the chip. Is it
under the dash on the driver's side? If so, exactly where. Thanks!

Keith
