Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F250 V10 - Raise The Front Or Lower The Back?
I bought my first vehicle last October, a '99 F-250 with a 6.8 V10. I later found out (AFTER hauling a big load of rocks in a dump trailer) that one of the bottom leaf springs was broken. So this winter I have been thinking on what I want to do about it when it warms up. This is pretty much on top of the "to do" list for my truck. I did make a thread about putting 1 ton springs under it, but I think I'll just stick with the regular 3/4 ton springs. So now this is where I have another question, and I think this pic will tell some of it:
Now I'm not sure if those rear springs are stock, but that rear end is way the heck up there! The truck itself is not level, the front looks to be correct height, but not the back. A buddy at school and I were talking about a leveling kit for the front. But the more I look at it, I think the rear end should come down. I don't want to get bigger tires, as I just put brand new Transforce AT's on the back and plan to put new ones on the front in the near future.
Another question of mine is, would this have been a truck ordered just for pulling a camper? It has holes for a fifth wheel hitch in the bed, the rear end sits high, and it didn't come with a tow package. The PO told me that he put the receiver hitch on it. I'm fixing up stuff on it one thing at a time. Springs just happen to be next on the list.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2000 F250 - Rear Driver And Passenger Windows Would Not Raise Or Lower
My son recently purchased this truck in Jan., 2017, upon inspecting the vehicle we noticed the rear driver and passenger windows would not raise or lower. When I asked the seller about this his comments were " I believe it to be a master switch issue". Ok so no big deal, I purchased and replaced the master switch with no luck. I didn't spend much time on it due to the cold weather. After digging into this a little more I'm very confused now. So here is where I currently am at with this issue.
Power is not the problem, I am reading approx. 14V at the master switch and at the rear door switches. I've checked and have power when the switch is toggled to simulate raising and lower of the window (approx. 12 to 13.5V). The window lift motors have been taken out and cleaned and inspected. The motor will operate properly with a 12V battery pack (both motors, driver and passenger side). I have power all the way to the motor itself, slightly less than 14Volts.
I can raise and lower the window in the truck by plugging into the back of the female connector with the outside power source but not with the power supply from the truck. I have continuity between the power(blue) and ground(black) wires at the switches. So this is where I am at, also just a reminder the front windows and door locks work fine. Just a side note, this truck has aftermarket mirrors on it so that branch of the harness is left hanging.

I have the Ford plastic drop in bed liner, and being up in the salt belt in CT, i want to take it out just to see how things look under there. Dont want to be surprised later on if i keep waiting. How do you take this thing out? Just pull the sides out from under the bed rails? You dont have to take the plastic trim that goes on top of the bed sides off do you?
Also, i want to get rid of this thing soon. The best thing to replace the plastic liner? i dont want to just leave it metal, but my dad has had a spray in "rhino liner" in his 04 ranger since the day he bought it and it has held up great. so i am thinking something along that line. How much it would be to have a spray in liner installed?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: How To Remove Headlamp Switch
I got a new headlamp switch for my 2016 SD. I have the XL work truck with no fog lights. I recently added fog lights and an OEM fog light wire harness. I also got an OEM switch that pulls out to activate the fig lights because the stock switch in my truck operates the headlamps only. What I can't figure out is how to remove the switch.
Here's a photo of the new switch .....

My truck has factory tint on all 4 corners as well as the rear window. I do quite a bit of night driving and I'd like to remove the tint on the drivers window as well as the passenger window. Is this even possible? I fear the glass was 'smoked' when manufactured and going back to completely clear glass will require a totally new window.

My grandad passed away a few months back, and I'm about to get his truck ready to sell/trade for my grandmother. The truck is an 09 f150 with only 18k miles, but it's got a couple minor issues like soft brakes from sitting, I'll post those problems in the f150 section if i have any issues fixing. He liked to leave the extended cab windows cracked in the summer. Problem was, he would forget to raise them, sometimes weeks at a time. He was 88 and suffering from dementia. This leads me to my question : How do I QUICKLY get rid of the musky smell? I came home this evening, and went to put it in the garage, and the windows were fogged up from the inside, and it smells awful. The windows haven't been left down in at least 6 months. This sucks, because this truck is flawless other than this. Dad had put open boxes of baking soda in it, but it hasn't worked.
