Subject: Sliding Rear Window for sale

I have a sliding rear window from a '98 Ranger available for sale.
It came out of a regular cab, but will fit supercabs. Ford put the
same window in both supercabs and regular cabs this year. It has a
real nice dark tint to it. I'm asking $50 plus shipping. Anyone
interested?

Once you are given a VIN, the next business day you should have an ETA and a
Build date. After receiving a VIN it is usually 6 to 8 weeks until the
truck actually arrives (depending on shipping times).

Here's a question for all you "stereo system" geniouses out there. I
just had a 180 watt JBL amp installed into my Ranger. It is hooked
up to the factory stereo and powers one 10 inch Cerwin Vega sub-
woofer. It worked great for a week, but on saturday afternoon, it
took a crap. I had an electric sliding rear window installed and the
stereo hasn't sounded right since. When I have all four (plus the
woofer) on (fade on stereo in mid way between F and B) and turn the
volume up past half way, it sounds like there is bad static, kinda
like a station isn't tuned in--but this happens while playing a CD
too. Also, when I turn the truck on, it sounds like there is a sound
coming from the speakers....BEFORE the radio actually turns on. Does
anyone have a clue what the hell could be wrong?

JOSH,
IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD ASK THE PERSON
THAT INSTALLED THE AMP. IF THEY INSTALLED A HIGH LEVEL TO LOW LEVEL
CONVERTER. I WOULD ALSO CHECK AND SEE IF THE POWER WINDOW IS PLUGGED
INTO THE SAME FUSE AS THE AMP. IF IT IS I WOULD PLUG THE AMP IN
SOMEWHERE ELSE, USUALLY A FUSE THAT ONLY COMES ON WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED
ON. THE NOISE YOU HEAR WHEN YOU TURN THE TRUCK ON COULD BE BECAUSE THE
TWO FUSES ARE PLUGGED IN TOGETHER AND IS CAUSEING FEEDBACK WHEN POWER
GOES TO THE SLIDING REAR WINDOW. ANOTHER THING IS THAT THE SPEAKER
COULD BE BLOWN. IF ALL ELSE FAILS I WOULD TAKE IT TO THE PLACE WHERE
YOU GOT IT INSTALLED AND TELL THEM IT'S NOT WORKING RIGHT..
