The standard 50 has a 4 inch casing and the SUV Performance version has a 5 inch casing. As Flowmaster's site says, "Available in a larger case as 50 Series SUV-Performance." It breathes better and is a bit quitter. But you may not need it in a 4.6L.

I do have an automatic tranny. This may be the difference when it kicks into overdrive. I just figured that the extra air flow would allow the engine to not work so hard. There is definetly more umph in the 2000-3000 rpm range. Not a major amount, although it is noticable. Thanks for the advice on the 40 series Flowmaster. I got a price quote from a local shop yesterday and the guy had a 40 series 3" single inlet/ 2 1/2" dual outlet. I think I'll try to find someone with a 50 series in stock. The muffler shop that right now Flowmaster has the factory shut down. They are re-tooling for a new 80 (8000) series muffler they have coming out. I'm hoping to get the muffler installed today or tomorrow. Going up to Darlington this weekend for the race and would like sound GOOD when I get there. I'll let you know how I like it, and I'm sure I will.

The dealer told me the telescoping feature was deleted, due to problems with the mechanicals. So what mirror did you install? Was it a Ford part? If so do you have a part #?

In doing so, obviously, the RPMs drop and the coast clutch engages. Well then, and almost immediately I might add, something causes me to suddenly mat the gas pedal, which did not turn out to be such a pleasant experience. What happened next I could only describe as a NUTRAL DROP! The engine revved up into what I can only imagine to be the 4000+ RPM range BEFORE the transmission/coast clutch engaged. When the drive train once again grabbed hold of the rear wheels it was like someone had struck me from behind. The truck lurched forward with a BANG! Hell, I looked back to see if there were any parts on the ground. The truck is a 2000 F150 5.4L SC FS 4x4 with a 4R70W transition. I was moving along at about 40mph and in 2x4 mode. This has happened more than once, and usually occurs when I've just let off the gas and then decide to get back on it hard for one reason or another. Any ideas or remedies would be greatly appreciated. And YES, I would have got the 4R100 had I had the option. I suspect the Coast Clutch. Joe Austin, TX ------------------------------ From: "Sandy Swallow" Subject: Date of Manufacture Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 07:21:39 -0800 Vince I found the date located on the GVWR tag located on the door jam. I have a question to the list also. Does any one know where to find the curb weight of the truck? Mine is a 2000 350 PSD CC 4 x 4.
