*didn't check the ones for '97+ due to owning a '96
The A version is what I read you recommend.
I had already ordered the Ford C version before I saw your post. I suppose I am stuck with it for now. I will give this one a try and report back.
I only use my truck occasionally on weekends to haul stuff for the farm and to/from supply stores.
Thanks again Nate!
