I was going to go this route as well and after some checking around was told Ford uses steel wheels on the inside for spacing requirements and because aluminum next to aluminum will grind away. Didn't make sense to me either, but everybody said not to do it. By the way as far as rotation , i just run'em unless they get cupped or something from mis-alignment. By the time you dis-mount re-mount balance etc at $60.00 to $80.00 dollars per rotation you can but a set of tires in 8 or 9 rotations. At 10,000 miles between rotations you would have 80,000 or 90,000 miles on the tires which would be worn out anyway.

One was to pull into one of those weight stations on the highway, when the line of semi trucks was non-existant and the station was open - boy, did those guys respond strangely, and some years later, I stopped by a local moving company that also had a scale for their trucks. Never found very accurate information in the literature.

In addition to the inner rears being steel, they only polished the outside face on the aluminum - so if I swap front/back the wrong side is out. I know this is not the recommended practice, but Ford seems to be pushing us to it. Hopefully keeping it in alignment will keep the wear to a minimum. I too have been looking for wheels so I could put snowtires on another set. Found steel at about $60/ea (internet search), but didn't find any aftermarket DRW aluminum yet. The bolt pattern is different from the old trucks - too bad, I had access to 12 for free and had to turn it down (someone else took them).

Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 22:46:19 -0600 From: Ken Thomas Subject: Wiring/Trailer towing package Hi, I'm Ken. I have a 97 Ford F150 super cab, with the factory installed trailer towing package, and am having trouble making it work. I bought the factory 7 terminal (6 terminals in a circle and one terminal in the center) pigtail taking it from the large female receptical to a standard four plug trailer plug (flat plug). I get only running lights on the trailer. I have completely checked out the trailer and all lights function normally when powered with 12 volts (ie running, stop, and left and right signals). Next I unpluged the pigtail from the truck receptical. I tested for voltage on each terminal. With lights on, I got voltage at the running light terminal and the + terminal. I then powered on the switch and turned on the the left and right turn signals and tested the left and right turn signal/brake terminal and did not register any signal. I then went to the fuse box under the hood and checked and replaced the 40 amp fuse in position 16. The fuse was OK, but I still switched it with another 40 amp fuse from position 23. Still no power to the stop/turn terminals. I pierced the yellow and green wires just forward of the bumper receptical and check for signal just in case the receptical could have been damaged, still no signal. I was told by someone that maybe the harness wasn't connected under the dash, somewhere by the heater outlet and glove box. I inspected under there, not knowing what to look for, but did not see anything unplugged or out of order. I wonder if there is a relay somewhere in the system that might be bad? I don't have a wiring schematic so I don't know where to look next. Could anyone help? I'm leaving Thursday on a trip and could sure use some.
