Delayed accessory power: stereo stays on after you turn the ignition off and it powers off when you open a door....I think....

Limited Slip Differential: When your main drive wheel slips, power transfers to the other wheel. Without limited slip when your drive wheel spins, you better hope you bought a 4x4.

Delayed Accessory Power: Just like when you have your key on accessory, but when your vehicle is shut off and your key is removed. You have full power to windows and stereo for what I believe is 5 minutes or until a door is opened.

I hope this helps.

Delayed accesory power lasts for 10 minutes, not 5. I found this out while waiting on some folks early one morning.

Do all the trucks have the delayed power thing. My XL F250 had it, but my XL F150 does not. I thought that Ford did away with it.
