okay, good to know.

Is the same true for an 05 Supercrew vs. an 05 Supercab?

 

Well, I compared my friends 04 screw to my 05 SCAB if that helps.

 

It is odd that I only learned about these shorter doors when I started looking to replace my old 1997 F150 Supercab Lariat Flareside. The truth is the shorter front doors are also found in the previous generation of F150 Supercrew.

 

ya know, sometimes I'm amazed we can even build a car.

Okay, so I stand corrected. Supercab doors are longer.

When the guy who actually built them calls me and says there's one door, what else could I think?

Of course, when he calls back 15 minutes later and says he just remembered there was a different door for the Supercab, then I have to smack him around.

Carry on with your long doors.

 

I wish they made super crews with full sized doors so i could put my arm up on the window in the super crew.

I think the regular cabs have the same doors as the supercrews......

This is why the supercab is by far the most supeior model of the F150.

 

Supercab is the only version with a different door.

Oddly enough, on the superdutys, they're all the same, regardless of bodystyle.

 

Okay so I’ve got my long doors, already tinted to match the rear, and I’ve got my Flareside box, which is not available in a Lariat trim. Would the Flareside box mean this truck is built in Kansas City and shipped up here to Ontario? VIN number says Kansas City and is that the reason I ended up with a steel driveshaft.

 

personally, I think it was Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick.

 

Bwahaha

Well you got it half right, it was Colonel Mustard but it was definatly with the candy cane.

 

Hey it’s no big deal, the steel driveshaft works. It is just that I did pay more to order in a brand new 2005 when they had similar trucks on the lot and I don’t like to get ripped off.

 

did you specifically order an aluminum driveshaft?

 

btw, it doesn't cost more to order a truck than it does to buy it off the lot, stickerprice notwithstanding.

It's not like there's a fee or anything.

 

If the steel driveshaft is going to work as good as an aluminum one, then no worries. My only other concern is the taping noise from the engine. If the sound I hear is not serious then I would like to install some sort of dual exhaust. It would probably be better to have a Ford engine technician listen to the engine before modifying the exhaust.

 

hehe, I'm having a Ford engine guy look at mine next week, and I already had the exhaust put on.

However, I did take it to the dealer before I had the exhaust installed, and they basically told me not to worry about the tapping unless it got louder.

 

a new powerstroke!!!!!!!! what i should have bought
