I have some vendors interested in supplying free products for the project trucks, sort of like the product write-ups you seen in the truck mags. The two things required: 1. it must be a late model truck 2. I must be present at the installation of items in order take photos and notes. The following trucks are needed: 1. Late model F150 2. SuperDuty 3. Explorer 4. Expedition 5. Excursion Email me at kpayne ford-trucks.com if you're interested. Currently, only #1 and #2 are scheduled for the free stuff, but I'd like to have the someone ready for the other models. I'm supplying the 2000 Ranger (heh, can you blame me? :-) ) Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 22:29:41 +0100 Subject: Re: SD power steering noise/leaks From: Kirk Werner Actually it turns out that my power steering pump itself has been leaking and is in need of replacement. As I mentioned in my original post,I didn't think much of the noise the steering was making because it's not loud...sort of a hissing when the wheel is turned...It wasn't until just recently I washing the truck and I saw fluid stains on the fender well liner on the driver side front wheel. Then I opened the hood and saw the fluid splattered about the pump. A few weeks ago when I installed a K&N filter, I didn't see any fluid inside the engine compartment, so I know this is a fairly recent thing. So, for you SD owners, check to make sure your power steering pumps aren't leaking fluid inside the engine compartment. > > From: "Strukel, Mike" > Subject: Re: SD power steering noise/leaks > Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 07:18:08 -0500 > > Kirk, > > > Could this be your problem????? > > > Power Steering Cooler Damage: 99/2000 F-SuperDuty > Some trucks built prior to 1-5-00 may exhibit a P/S cooler leak due to > impact damage.

The truck's under warranty (31k miles). I have checked the tightness of the cable periodically but it still didn't hold the tire securely in place. I am going to visit the dealer on Monday. Does anyone use a bedmount they would recommend? Steve ------------------------------ From: "Larry Hackler" Subject: Re: Spare Tire Woes Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 10:36:07 -0400 I just cut out a piece of cardboard to match the tire. Fixed the problem, when I placed it on top of the tire.

I've seen a Lund one advertised, and JC Whitney has one as well. What has been your experience with them, in terms of durability, ease of installation, price, etc. I like the looks, but have never been in a truck with one - does it hamper your vision upward? Thanks. ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ From: "Mitchell" Subject: Re: Spare Tire Woes Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 06:38:19 -0400 Upon closer inspection the tire didn't get rubbed to the point where rubber was missing but it is deformed with indentations where it contacts the frame. I took it off and I'll see if it rebounds. The cardboard trick sounds good Larry. The rancho shocks have improved the ride significantly. Now I have to figure out where to install the remote on the dashboard. Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Hackler" > I just cut out a piece of cardboard to match the tire.
