The body shop manager kept mentioning that Ford would not let them do the work but had to go to an outside glass company. The rear sliding window was replaced, but they busted some interior trim. The shop manages said he would contact them and have them order the replacement. Others on some mail list have mentioned that the replacement leaks worse than the orginal. Haven't had a problem, but it has only been a week.

I called my dealer today to fix the problem and to my surprise he never heard of this problem. Also, he said that this is normal for a 3 year old truck, especially if you live in a bad environment (Ohio) then he start talking to me about how did it get cold, worm, rain, snow, freeze, ..etc. He is trying to tell me that all trucks have this thing after 3-4 years. I tried to explain to him that I've never heard of that and I use to own trucks before, but he won't listen. I hung-up with him and jumped on the Internet to find everything I could find about the rear glass on F150. I couldn't find a TSB or anything about it. I've been a member for this lest for many years now and I know I heard people talking about this in the past, and they did get there glass changed. But I can't remember if they used a TSB or what really did they tell the service manager. So now I'm stuck with a leaky rear window 'till I come-up with something. Please help.

My information is relative to the 99 SD trucks. They could/probably have changed the options mix for 99.5 or 2000.

I have a stabilizer but don't have the ORP. The steering stabalizer should come with the "off-road" package.

I have been towing 6x12 enclosed trailers with no problems. I have towed bigger with different trucks but that is not my point. I believe I found a very good deal on a 8x18 Haulmark enclosed trailer GVWR 7000#. I was wonder about the overall performance of my f250 since the trailer is considerably wider and taller than my truck. Anybody have some real world experiences the wouldn't mind passing along? thanks joe ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 08:19:58 -0500 From: Dean Baruffi Subject: Remote Transmission filter Hello all, I want to put a remote transmission filter on my truck. I cannot find any information regarding the flow of transmission fluid through the cooler/radiator. Am I correct in assuming that the transmission cooler line that is on the top part of the raditor is the hot fluid out of the transmission and the lower radiator cooler line is the cold fluid return to the transmission? So, the flow would be from the top connection to the lower connection (Hot to Cold). Thanks in advance. BTW, anyone that is thinking of buying the power pulleys from ASP on the online store for the F-150 4.6L or 5.4L, there is something you should know. The crank pulley goes on fine but you may have to do some customising for the water pump pulley. On my 2000 F-150 4x2 there is another unused thread-in slug on the timing chain cover. This gets in the way of the water pump pulley. I had to grind off about 3/16" to 1/4" of material on this slug. Since this is cast aluminum it was very easy. It does not destroy the treads of the slug so if it was every needed, it can be used. I don't know what connects there. It looks like possibly an Idler pulley can be mounted there. But no diagrams some one there with or without A/C. -Dean ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 09:22:00 -0700 From: "Joseph L. Casey" Subject: Re: calling on your towing experience My experience is similar, but not identical to yours. But, I have pulled a 7,500#, 8' x 20' Wells Cargo with our 1999 F350, dually, Powerstroke, 4:10 and equalizer hitch. The pulling is fine, follows well, holds the road, no sway. It is great on the road. A negative force is the wind resistance from the square front of the trailer--I do not have a cap on the pickup bed. On two roundtrips from Chicago to Denver to Chicago, I got 9.4+ and 9.65 mpg traveling between 70 and 78 mph. The cargo weight has something to do with mileage, but I suspect that it is not the primary factor--wind resistance is likely the primary factor. Though not very scientific, the boost reads about 10lbs at 75 mph, around 7 at 70 and around 5 lbs at 65 mph on a level road (in Nebraska) with little wind to be concerned with. Therefore, it is likely that mileage would improve if I went slower. Next trip I might try a slower speed, and at 60+, and I am certain I would get better mileage if the wind is the same as before. "All things being equal--which is often not true." Maybe this helps your thinking; maybe not..

Hunter" Subject: Order Priority Can someone refresh my memory about Ford's order priority numbers? I just got the Dora for my truck order and it has a priority of 20. I thought that 10 was the highest priority. I ordered a car a few years ago and it was priority 10. Where does 20 rank? Will this ever be built? Thanks, Russ 2000 XLT Sport on order Russell A.
