Leer Cap Swap Question
I trade F150's every two years and always buy one Leer cap in black and transfer it from truck to truck. Going from a 2008 to a 2010 tomorrow and now my Leer dealers says the cap won't fit due to a tail gate change. This change will make the cap 1.5" short. When I went to the Leer site and ran the cap picker I get the same cap for all models since I bought mine originally for my 2006, a 100R. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Has anyone else experienced this? Is my cap dealer selling me a new cap for nothing?<o></o>
<o></o>
Sorry to be asking a question with my first post but I trade my 2008 in for my 2010 tomorrow and need an opinion. I do promise the forum to be a fair resource for the 6R transmission since I manufacture them.<o></o>

Thanks<o></o>

I believe this is what your dealer is talking about. There is a difference in the 2009-2010 tailgate:
The 2009-2010 has the "lip" or spoiler extension on the top where the 2004-2008 did not. Not sure on the fitment issue. I would call Leer directly and ask them if you can get anyone since it's Thanksgiving. My guess would be that he is right and it will be a little short.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll have to shell out the dough for a new cap. I wonder if the tailgate design engineer knew what he was doing to people buy adding that cute little lip...should have left it alone from my perspective.
