    Door Function Switch?

    Shuts off the door light when back light is amber (OFF glows amber). Allows you to open doors without having the overhead lights coming on.

    Help Needed 2012 cloth seats still as bad as they used to be?

    You could consider seat covers to protect the cloth. I just sold my 2000 7.3L yesterday so I can make room for a newer ride.

    power door

    The price at the dealer range from 68 to 75 bucks each depending on how you order the parts. I used BWD DLA225 and DLA238 for about 48 each at Advanced Auto. They've been installed for about five months and barring any bad JuJu they'll last a few years. When you get to the fourth door you'll...

    Who has the highest miles?

    I'm at 99,404 for my Y2K. I'm in no hurry to nail six figures except pay wise :-).

    power door

    If they bump but don't physically cycle then it could be the actuators. I had to replace all four of mine as they failed almost in unison over two days. If they don't do anything (dead) then check your fuse, wiring and ground. A transceiver failure would be rather rare.

    Question Uncle Fred

    The rear disc brake portion is auto adjusting, but the parking brake is not. They are two separate brake systems that use the rear disc rotor (inside shoes and outside disc) versus the old drum system which used the rear service brake shoes as a parking/emergency brake. Ford recommends the...

    Plugging in your truck.

    Three hours will work its magic. Mine started at 18F without plugging it in. I waited until I heard the igniters were de-energized and it started rigth away. Starts way better than my old 6.5L chevy.

    Hello to everyone. I picked up a fair 2000 F350 7.3L with 92800 miles. This is my second diesel, my first was a 1998 K3500 6.5L with moose lights and bumper that I had up in Alaska. I'm looking forward to reading about what spare parts people carry for common failures.
