Were those put on the stock 7" rims or were they swapped for a larger size? -----Original Message----- From: owner-97up-list ford-trucks.com [mailto:owner-97up-list ford-trucks.com] On Behalf Of David & Laura Manuel Sent: Monday, January 03, 2000 2:26 AM To: 97up-list ford-trucks.com Subject: Re: FTE 97up - 295/75R-16 or ??? for 4WD SD? I have Goodyear Wrangler 305/75/16 on my 2000 F250, Crewcab, Longbed, 4 x 4, V10, with 3.73 gears. The dealer where I purchased the truck swapped my stock tires for the Wranglers and charged me $400.00 total. He advised me that these are the biggest I could go without affecting anything as far as gearing and speedo and such. At first I did not believe him but I have had no problems with the truck and tires as of yet. I also pull a toyhauler which weighs 9800 lbs empty. I know it's at least 11,000 with water, motorcylces and gear. Still, I have no problems with the large tires and towing. I'm satisfied with the tires and they look great without a lift. Let me know if you have any questions. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2000 08:52:41 -0600 From: "Charles Abraham" Subject: FTE 97up - Changing 99.5 PSD Fuel Filter Just crossed the 15K mark, and time to change the fuel filter. Anything I should know that's not already covered in the owner's manual? Like does the cover come off easily, or is a special tool needed? Also, the new fuel filter I bought online from D.I.S., appears slightly different than what's pictured in the manual - no tabs that secure to the cover. Aside from this, everything else in the manual and instructions that came with the new filter are the same.

If so, how do you like them? Any comments on highway/off-road performance? These tires have been showing up a lot in the 4 wheeling magazines, and they've only been out for a couple months, so they've got to be good... but I've never heard any specific comments on them. Also (in response to many posts), on the subject of 285's vs 295's on 7 inch rims, I've had 285/75-16 Bridgestone Dueler MT's on my 97 F-150 XL SC LB for a year now, with no problems at all. Clearance is fine, traction is unbelievable, plus I figure I have about a 3 inch lift, and I still get decent power and acceleration. Only problem is that my brakes are stressed out now. I would definitely not recommend 295's on a 7 inch wheel.

Intrest magazines are notorious for saying only good things about advertisers and those pictures are like as not on vehicles that are sponsored by someone. Read they didn't pay full freight like you will have to. The latest overhyped hardware may not be all that great when it comes out to overall performance.

Use a strap wrench, or whatever you use to remove the oil filter. They are about the same diameter. It may help to remove the "power stroke" cover for easier access. Also drain the fuel bowl first. Otherwise, when you take out and insert the filter you'll end up with diesel all over the top of the engine :-). Connect some rubber hose to the water separator drain line, otherwise you'll end up with Diesel all over the floor. And I'm pretty sure the 99 fuel filters don't have tabs. There was a funny story a long time back on www.ford-diesel.  comwhere one of the guys used an air gun to blow out the diesel and particles in the water separator fuel bowl. He was washing diesel out of his face for quite a bit. At least he didn't get hurt (well too badly anyway). - -john RSnovi aol.com wrote:> In a message dated 1/3/00 10:08:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, > abrahamc agcs.com writes:> > my cover was tight as . other than that the o ring was a challenge.
