I had both of my doors replaced on my 1997 F250 LD (with
power windows)....at about 30,000 miles.  Noticed
extreme flexing on window opening or closing before the
doors were replaced.  Don't know if mine have a new
design or not, but there is considerably less flexing
now.  I have to look real closely to even notice it.  So
far, so good (KNOCK ON WOOD) at 50,000 miles, the cracks
haven't reappeared.  Don't know what recourse I would
have if they do?????

Jean:

Thanks for the input although I am not sure what you mean by none.  I am
still uncertain if this cracking happens to all LD 1999 F250 & F150 trucks
or only some.

Sometime in the next 48 hours, Ford Truck Enthusiasts will
complete it's move to its new server.

After the move, the message boards and mailing lists on
the old server will be disabled and DNS records will be
updated to point to the new server.

The new server will be immediately active.  However, DNS
records take time to propagate across the Internet.  Your
hosting company may take 8-72 hours before it points to
the new server.  Until your host's DNS gets the changes,
you will not be able to send email to our lists nor will
you be able to use the message boards.  You will, however,
continue to receive list mail correctly.

Your patience in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken Payne
Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts
