Hi notabeanr, welcome to FTE the BEST of the rest.

You should post your question in the site Tech forums which are located at this link,,,, Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - Ford truck and SUV owners and enthusiasts Community And Information Source. Just locate your year, engine type, etc. and post your question there to get a quicker response.

I see from your profile you live in the great state of California. Not sure where in California but just want to mention to you there are two California FTE chapters. You can find both chapters listed in this link,,,, Western Region - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Visit the chapter where you live, introduce yourself, meet other Ford truck owners, join if you like and remember to tell the chapter leader that glruff sent you
