It is so sneaky. Also probably will be a 15sec truck very soon. RS << I'm not a big fan of the diesel. When you compare the initial cost and maintenance cost over a 100,000 mile life, the gas engine is much cheaper. I've heard alot of good things about the v10, I thing you are on the right track. What's the final price tag going to be on the supercharger, I may want to check on one for my 4.6 Expedition. Good luck! >> ------------------------------ From: "Keith Veren" Subject: Re: ADMIN: I'm back Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 08:54:34 -0800 Ken, Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us, he did indeed sound like a person true to his faith. Additional thanks for reminding the group that the mailing list is people talking to people, not some isolated computer talking to your computer.

Included is information on the 2001 Ranger Edge, the 2000 Escape and F150 Harley-Davidson pricing. Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ From: RSnovi aol.com Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 12:38:21 EST Subject: exploder sport A few days ago i was rideing by the local Ford dealer and notice something pretty ugly with a bed on it. jee wiz what was Ford thinking when they built that explorer with a bed on it, its looks like some one passed gas and made a bed on the back. It looked ok in the press photos i saw but in person, ick. anyone else see one? sorry i couldnt hold back, i just had to say something. RS ------------------------------ From: "Mike Ruth" Subject: Re: exploder sport comment Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 12:44:29 -0500 Well, I guess that just proves the many century old theory that people are unique and different. I would guess that the Explorer Sport Track is actually pretty nifty. Now look at that Dodge Dakota Quad Cab, what an afterthought! Isn't Dodges' motto DIFFERENT??? Just my opinion. Please don't flame me.No I don't work for Ford either. Mike Ruth xplorit erols.com M.R.Detailing,Lawn and Land Services 99 F350 Superduperduty Lariat SC Diesel 94 E.B.

I suggest you call them. Their phone number is 480 921 7366.

It was priced less than the aftermarket units offered by Gibson, Borla, etc. Just curious if Ford makes a performance cat back exhaust that might be cheaper than the non-facotry units. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 07:21:28 -0500 From: Dean Baruffi Subject: E4OD and 4R100 bolt pattern, Type F fluid Through much research and learning, I decided to order the B&M E4OD Deep dish Aluminum tranny oil pan in the hopes that it would fit my 2000 F-150 4x2 4R100 transmission (with no drain plug). It was messy taking the stock pan out, but the B&M fit like a glove. I reused the stock Ford gasket and have no leaks. The Pan comes with a magnetic drain plug. The B&M part number is: 40290 if anyone is interested. BTW, you must use a 4x2 filter with this pan. The 4x4 filter can be made to fit (B&M has directions on how much of the pickup tube has to be cut off). Anyone use type F tranny fluid in their E4OD or 4R100 transmission? I heard that Type F fluid will firm up the shifts a bit. Will is hurt the tranny in any way?

Do not use Type F , Ford spec is ATF mercon. If you can get your hands on some synthetic it will greatly reduce temps and will last long especailly if you tow.

This was because the tire place was wondering if it was still the same as 97' 140 ft/lbs. It was at the bottom of the emergency instructions sheet, no where else. We were laughin, no need for a torque wrench, jus' hit it with the gun! Super nice guys, didn't charge for rotate & balance 45 min in and out, i had them mount them up when i got them. Why can't there more people like this! Just thought i would rant about good service for once. RS....
