OBTW I noticed on the way to my sons baseball game tonight, I have a crack in my windshield already. I heard something hit it on the way to the shore Sat on the PA turnpike but didn't see where it may have hit. Right thru the middle of the "F150" from the mirror up, about 5-6 inches long Just about to make the first payment.

I have had safelite do 2 repairs already since February. I thought the first one was going to be a new windshield with less then 2000 miles on truck, right next to the A pillar, the stone actually chipped the paint on the inside of the A pillar.
Call you insurance probably get the repair for free, just make sure you tell them it happened on the same day you call.

Will do, thanks for the heads up. But doesn't it have to be so many inches long before they'll replace the windshield? Man, I'm hijacking my own thread!

I believe if its a crack longer then 6" they replace it. My first one was un der the dimensions for replacement but it was right at the edge of the windshield, less then 1" from the edge (in the black area at edge of windshield) I didn't see it for a few days until I was washing it. The safelite tech said they wouldn't guarantee it because of where it was at but its been 3 months with no problems.

I just had the windshield replaced a couple of weeks ago. Truck had less than 3000 miles on it and already cracked.

I've pulled batteries on lots of cars and never had any concern about that.

Interesting... I have no answer but looking forward to one. I haven't had any problems since doing this, but how would I know? Does it throw a code or something?

Yes, it will throw a code (P1000). But all you have to do is complete the drive cycle and the code will clear.

This is why you shouldn't re-flash your PCM to stock (if you have a tuner) before you take it in for inspection. Simply unplug the cable from the OBDII port and you're good (if you have a dash mount).
