simple? questions
Here are my questions for you guys. ( 00' F250SD PSD SC 4X4 )
1. "Camper package" ?
2. " Off-road package" ?
3. Dual alternators, why?
4. what type of lifts are available for the front if I put 4" F350 blocks in the rear, and what other parts do I have to change?
5. Does changing the ride height have a bad effect on the u-joints?
6. what are Silverstars?
7. what is the best cleaner for leather seats?
Thank you.

2. Skid plates over the fuel tank, transfer case, etc..., steering stabilizer, and a fancy decal. I think it also dictates the AT tires.
3. If you plan on running any equipment off of the trucks electrical system, whether it be tools (winch, hydraulic pump, etc...) or a camper, it provides the extra juice to get it done.
4. There are several "leveling kits" available out there. Do a search on that topic for more info than you'd ever want.
5. No, the SD uses solid axles front and rear, u-joints are unaffected. If you lift beyond ~6-8", you'll need to adjust the driveline angle and center bearing. The lift you're talking about will not require any modification, some trucks come from the factory at that height.
6. Not sure on this one, but I think it refers to aftermarket headlight bulbs - Sylvania I believe. They are apparently a real nice mod, and give significantly more light than stock. On my list of "to do's" actuallys.
7. No idea.
That should cover the basics anyway, I'm sure some others will be along to fill in any details I missed.

As usual, Waxy's right on most counts..........unfortunately the camper package doesn't include the seven/nine-pin wiring harness.
I had to ordered the Ford trailer hitch (comes wired with both the round one and the flat four) and I use a jumper to connect the camper.
In the USA, the camper package also includes a printed, vehicle specific document detailing the weight of the camper allowed on that particular vehicle. (I think..............I've been researching this document for some time and can't get an intelligent Canadian response. Nobody's heard of it up here, but it's a popular US topic on some of the RV sites.)

mine came with both plugs and hitch
answer to #7 for me is Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner only thing is you have to order it but been using it on my Hondalac (Acura) for 2 years and I love it the seats are softer than any I've seen and can already feel it softning up the seats in the truck.
