  I have a 1999 Ford F150 and the nylon (?) bushing on one of the linkage arms broke and the wipers don't work. I have ordered a set of four bushings through RockAuto.com (Dorman part number 49451, "Wiper Linkage Bushing") at $4.92 plus $7.78 for priority mail shipping. I've tried, without success, to get the wiper motor and the linkage arms out from the space under the cowl in front of ... Read More

  I have a 1999 F150, with 4.6L V8, supercab, auto transmission. The code for the axle ratio is H9. When I called a Ford service dept, they told me they could only check back to 2000, but the H9 indicated a 3.55 axle ratio. I checked the owners manual and couldn't find anything. Can anyone verify the H9 is a 3.55 for a 1999? The reason I'm asking is depending on ... Read More

• 2007 Ford F-150 XLT Supercab 4X4 Lease info request

  Written by: lisa765 on Jan 21, 2007 7:45:19 PM

  Does anyone have any of the details behind the $249 a month (36 month term) with $1999 due at lease signing on these vehicles? I live in Indiana if that matters. If no one knows the details, then does anyone know what Ford uses for the residual value and lease rate on this vehicle. I am interested in the lowest mileage option (10,500 miles). Thanks in advance for any info.

  True story, I "loved" Ford. I had a ford 1999 F150 XLT that was close to perfect (I even bought it used) THENNNN the trouble started. I traded it in for a shiny new 2004 model that I loved, for three days that is. Soon after buying the truck they determined it needed a new transmission, K, things happen, I can handle it.... then my brakes started vibrating. Long story short ... Read More

  My 1999 F-150 started indicating overheating. After driving about 5 or 10 miles the temp gauge starts going up. If you notice it soon enough, pull over and shut down everything is OK when re started after a minute or two. If you don't notice it until the gauge is at the top the engine starts missing and check engine light comes on. Checking under the hood shows no signs of ... Read More

  Written by: 04f150l4x4 on Sep 11, 2004 9:02:13 PM

  I believe Motor Trend has more weight on the decision on the No. 1 truck, than Edmunds. The redesigned Ford F-150 earned the top spot as the most popular pickup with shoppers on MSN Autos for the second quarter of 2004. The F-150 was also the fifth most popular vehicle overall for the same time period. The Toyota Tacoma, a consistently popular compact pickup, was second with shoppers for the second ... Read More

Ford F-150 SUPERCREW

• SuperCrew Changes/modifications in recent years?

  Written by: price4000 on Nov 10, 2003 10:15:45 PM

  I'm in the market for a 2001-2002 model F-150 SuperCrew. This is primarily because of my price limit and not wanting to buy too old. However, as there are low mileage 1999-2000 models in decent condition, I'm wondering what minor modifications (if any) Ford made from 1999 to 2000 to 2001 to 2002. Are there any owners of these models who can provide me the differences?
