FTE 97up - Frustrated at the Body Shop ======================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 06:42:18 PST From: "Scott Matus" Subject: FTE 97up - PSD Oil concerns The MAIN reason for the Amsoil or Permacool dual remote bypass filter system is, "to protect your engine". This topic has been thrown about on so many newsgroups. Permacool is much cheaper. If you were to get the specifications for the stock Ford filter I doubt that it filters any less than 25 microns. And this is not an absolute rating, which means that it "may" filter down to 25 microns. In reality it passes oil debri that is much larger - 35 or 60 microns. Using a remote bypass you can effectively remove these oil contaminants. The two filters will use, 1)full flow filter and 2) an absolute filter. The full flow is much like the stock in characteristics. The Absolute filter will have a rating that will not pass contaminants of a certain size say 5, 10, 15 micron. This reduces the flow rate through the filter, this is why a full flow filter is used in tandem. We have not even discussed the real evil to your engine - SOOT. These cleaner burning diesels are not passing that much soot as earlier engines. It is required to pass certain Clean Air standards. If this Soot is not exiting the exhaust pipe, then, "Where it the soot going?" Thats right, IN YOUR OIL. Soot loading of engine oil will be a topic that will be getting a grat deal of attention in the future. Its your engine, do with it as you wish. I want the extra protection.

I'm trying to get my arms around the concept of adding an Amsoil oil filter to the PSD. I'm not saying it's a bad idea or that it is harmful, I don't know. But it seems to me to be an unnecessary expense. That Ford filter on the PSD sure looks large enough to me. I assume (always dangerous) that the oil and filters will continue to be changed according to Ford and Navistar recommendations? What's the purpose?

The by-pass filters are good for about 25000 miles. To avoid going up in flames, I won't comment on regular oil and filter change intervals. __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 09:22:47 -0600 From: "Low, Ted" Subject: FTE 97up - 97 Club Wagon Rear AC I have a 97 E-350 Club Wagon with rear AC. It doesn't respond to the temperature knob on the front unit. Also, the rear unit only has fan speed control, so I assume the temp should run off the front unit. Any ideas, short of a dealer tearing into my interior side panels? == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 14:38:33 EST From: TRITON46L aol.com Subject: FTE 97up - an off the wall subject...... i got the new FOUR WHEELER feb. 2000 issue today in the mail. i saw the tahoe Z71 as the winner of the 2000 four wheeler of the year award. what throws me off about this magazine is what the magazine is about and what it reports about. from what i have read on this magazine, it talks about hardcore four wheeling. it doesn't bring anything really up on the subject of nice quality rides and stuff like that. in my opinion, i think of four wheeling like this- straight axles, stiff suspension, big gas guzzling engines. trucks that can pull houses off their foundations and go wheelin' through the toughest terrains. but i'm getting mixed signals on this. my point is this: i read the article on the comparison of the 6 suvs. they gave the tahoe Z71 the trophey. i kind of the the new chevys and gmc, but not as much as the new fords. my point i'm trying to make out of this whole volume i'm writing is the magazine soley talks about hardcore 4x4s. then they award the trophey to the tahoe because it has a nice anti hip breaking grandma suspension with off road capabilites that are very good. at the end of the excursion article they said that for a hefty hauler, with one hell of a chassis for work, the excursion would have cleaned house. in my opinion, 4x4s should be rough riding vehicles with awesome chassis. not something my grandma would wanna take on her 78th birthday to go hunting in!!!!! but you all know what they say about opinions... any comments are welcome. bill 99 f-150 sc 4.6L 4x2 new one soon to come == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:27:43 EST From: Fordman4L aol.com Subject: FTE 97up - Frustrated at the Body Shop I own a '99 F-150 XLT that had the famous crack in the door. After having it welded twice, I finally talked the manager at the body shop into putting a new door on the truck and I just got it back today. I now have a large scratch and about 15-20 dings in the paint on the hood along with it. I have no ideal where they came from because I waxed my truck about a week before I put it in the shop and did not see anything like that. I baby this truck and I am outraged at whatever they did to the hood. What could they have done to cause this at the body shop? If anyone has an idea please let me know. I am fed up with the treatment that I receive from the manager there but I think we are going to have a nice talk tomorrow. Now I know why I couldn't pick it up until 5 pm. They had just left and the key was in the truck.
