my 99 chimes. I hate runnin it below a quarter tank but ya kno... sometimes money gets low and ya gota stretch to your next paycheck sooo it happens every once in a blue moon.

 

Or A little more often than that if your 16 and money is REALLY tight between insurance and others...

 

so they made them before 99. sweet. i guess il just call the ford dealership tmrw and see what the deal is.

ya or 18 with no job....

 

shouldnt be driving then

 

lol i dont have a job but i work on farms every now and then and trust me when i get paid for that i get PAID

 

i called the ford shop and talked to the mechanic and he said he wast sure. he said he said he doesnt know why mine doeesnt chime he said some might have them and some dont. he said to call back tmrw and he would ask around and see what he could figure out.

 

I had a 01 f150 and it didnt chime and my 03 doesnt chime either. I always have run mine from full to empty every tank. When the low fuel light comes on i can get another 35 miles on it easy and still have a gallon left. I think its best if you can to go from F to E that away you have Fresh gas in the tank all the time. be nice though if it would chime

 

My 03 XL doesn't chime. I'm guessing it's part of a convenience package or something.

Coy, don't come back crying when your fuel pump craps out. You are asking for trouble operating it like that.

 

well it cant be a package thing either. i have lariat and i dont have it. coy has king ranch and he doesnt have it.
but a no package 99 and 02 do have it? that cant be just a package thing...

 

My '03 heritage does not chime, just the idiot light. My wife's 06 Explorer does chime.

 

im anxious to see what the mechanic has found out and is guna say tmrw..

 

could it be where they were assembled at?

 

Never had a problem with any fuel pumps, my truck has 112,000 miles and never had a problem also have a 95 f150(Bought Brand New) that has always been run all the way to E all the time and it has 319000 miles on it with original fuel pumps. To the Op i would really like to know what you find out on the chime.

 

JP im not sure. at this point anything could be true. which that may very well be is where it was assembled at. But also if it was where it was assembled at is the case if they left somethin our or didnt include something wouldnt they have a recall???

and coy thats what im saying on fuel pumps its our trucks let us do what we want and obviously its just their opinion on fuel pumps they arent mechanics their just think they are so do what u do.
and il keep everyone posted.

 

I run my trucks dry all the time never replaced a pump. I do replace filters every year though. I think thats the bigger deal..
