HI everyone i am new to this site so if this is the wrong place for this thread im sorry but am in desperate need of help with a few minor details with my truck.

First off i own a 1997 F-150, this was the early 97's true ford enthusiasts know what i am talking about and all the changes that ford made after the first 1000 were produced. Anyway i have the 4.6V8 2WD RWD. also its an XLT Std Cab Stepside bed. Did i leave anything out? I have done alot of custom work but and it looks and runs great for a truck with 124,000 miles on it but little things are starting to show.

1st my RearEnd. I was recently in a wreck where my truck needed a new Axel put on. I was told by the ford dealership i took it to that it was a brand new not used axel. Everything was fine for a while then i started noticing a whine. it only happens when i am decelerating and between about 20mph-0mph. And when i accelerate from 0-20mph then the whining dissappears. Not really noticing a difference in drivibility just wondering if future problems may exist due to this.

2nd is my power windows. Im sure you have all herd this one b4. My driver side no longer goes up or down period. I do however hear a click underneath my dash down by the fuse panel. Relay? Fuse? Help? The passenger side one will go down on its own only in extreme heat. Otherwise it goes down about 1/2 way then you must help it down and same on the way up. I am unsure what to do about this.

Finally the last thing. I am really not sure how to describe this one but here goes. When i really romp on the accelerator and im accelerating it almost seems like my transmission wants to resist the power that my engine is sending to it. Torque converter? The transmission was completely replaced 3 years ago because i blew the planitary gear in it. As far as engine mods go i have put on gibson headers, reprogrammed with the Hypertech Programmer 3, K&N FIPK Helix born Throttle Body Spacer. Nothing major.

Anyway i would really appreciate any help you guys can offer me. This site has helped me in the past and hope now that i am a memeber can help me even more. NeMeZiZ@bellsouth.net is my e-mail if anyone would like to send or need additional info. I will post pictures and look foward to maby meeting some of you in the future and your thoughts and opnions of my truck thanks again.

p.s sorry about my grammer skills. Not teaching us that at ITT Tech lol

 

Have you replaced the fuel filter ?

 

Yea i just did that not to long ago actually. Also something else that i noticed that i didn't put in earlier sometimes when i just start the truck up there is a humming noise seeming to be coming from the engine. Am not sure what it is, when its in gear i don't notice it.
