They use the same flasher so If they don't you can eliminate the flasher, bulbs, and ground. The only part they don't eliminate is the multi-function switch. Regards Jean Marc Chartier ------------------------------ From: "GARY GADWA" Subject: RAM Air Intake Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 12:15:28 -0600 I have a 2000 F250 HD 4x4 Supercab V10 and want to install a better air intake system and filter. I would prefer a system that takes in air from in front of the radiator support frame work somewhat like the stock FORD arrangement. Cooler Air and forced means greater power. I have looked at the K&N FIPK, Airaid, and the Air Flow Products units. All of these use the under the hood air. Any comments, suggestions or user opinions appreciated.

The PVC pipe is directed at the air filter intake. I trimmed the snout of the air filter intake to make it less restrictive. A piece of vaccum sweeper hose, or something similar, might work well, too. I also bored a couple large holes in the support to allow air coming through the driver's side of the grille (the 'D' shaped part) to reach the air intake. I also replaced the stock filter with a K&N filter. I took pictures of the modifications, and when I get the film developed I'll post the pictures on my website.

The 4x4 superduties sit pretty high off the ground as is- I can't imagine wanting it any higher. Looks-wise, I think they benefit from bringing the front end up a bit, but functionally- when hauling a top heavy load- it seems like a mistake. Anyone have a levelled truck (non dually) AND haul a camper? If so, how's the handling?

He hauls a Lance camper on many trips to the desert and the river. He doesn't seem to have any problems with handling. I have been behind him when we have experienced some heavy winds on the highway, and he seems to take it all in stride. I think the most difficult part of the lift is getting the camper on and off. Hope this helps. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 17:15:01 -0400 From: Don Francis Subject: Superchip... Some time back there was an offer for a collective discount for those folks who are members of this list wishing to purchase a Superchip for a PSD. Does that offer still stand, and who do I contact to make the purchase with a discounted price? Also, there is more than one chip manufacturer out there, which one is best?
