2 noticeable problems - Any idea?
Proud owner of my new 04 F-150. 2 things though. I am getting grease on the inside of my windows when i roll them up and down. Not sure what this could be, but probably easily fixable.
2nd thing.... When I turn on my truck, I hear a small "thump" from what seems like the engine. Any ideas?
Anyway, would love to hear what you guys think about this. Thanks!

Had the grease/tar on my windows too. Had to clean with naptha. This went away after a couple cleanings.
The thunk is the air/heat blend door closing. When you start up, you get vacuum thru the system and the door returns to whatever position you have on the air cond/heat system.
Annoying, but quite normal.

Try not to get too much of any solvent on the rubber door channels. Naptha can soften the rubber where it may swell and or crack. Also, try not to get any solvent down into the door/window pocket since it would wash out any lubricant from where it needs to be (window lift motor, linkages, etc.). I would suggest just cleaning the glass periodically until the grease is all rubbed off.

Funny you say this I have the same thing with my truck!!!!! The grease thig will go away .It did on mine but the thump is an air vent door opening and closing it is vacume operated door it will do this if you leave your ac on after you turn off the truck. And when you start it back up it will do this. See my other posts

hey fellas,
just bought an 04 f-150. a really fine ride....i'm very impressed so far. still miss my stroker though.
i've been hearing that thump sound also....i haven't had my a/c on yet. however i have been leaving the defrost turned on. this could also be be causing that vent to open/close? thanks in advance.
