Which I had my 5.4 engine replaced about a month ago and this "new" engine sounds exactly the same as the old one!! Guess I'm going to take it back again.

Mine did not come with the towing package and I upgraded it to one. The original factory radiator was a one row radiator about 1" thick. The towing package should have the heavy duty radiator which is about 2" thick and 2 rows. After asking the dealer they said it was about $350 to get a super duty cooling radiator. I went to a local radiator shop in Norfolk VA who got me a heavy duty radiator for about $250 new. It is made by Jer-Dan radiator as I remember and when I opened the box. the radiator said Ford on it. Pretty easy to install - took about an hour. (anyone needing a single row radiator, let me know - it's in my storage unit). Recently traded in the 98 F150 on a 2000 F250 Lariat Diesel. Love the truck and it will tow my 5,000lb trailer with enough guts to tow one more behind that if I could! Love my new red beast! Jim ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2000 15:03:26 -0500 From: CnC Subject: Extended Warranty I've got a 1997 Ford F150 4.6 V8 2 wheel drive pickup with mileage now at 32,000 and the warranty will expire this May or when I reach 36,000 miles. I've been giving serious consideration to buying an extended warranty policy. I found out that they ain't cheap. From a low of about $800 to a high of almost $1300. I've got some questions and I was hoping that some of you might be able to clarify this for me. Did you get an extended warranty? If so, did you get it from the Ford Dealer or elsewhere? Which do you recommend for me? Did you get a warranty for EVERYTHING or just the drive train? Have you had any Claim Experience under your Extended Warranty? Was it Good or Bad? Thanks for your input.
