The windshield was distorted and was causing me problems when I drive. Working nights its annoying seeing three sets of headlights per vehicle.
Do all windshields have this distortion on these trucks? Its really annoying being right in my line of sight. Going to call Monday and get quotes to replace it. Have used Safelite 4 times on various vehicles in the past. Nobody could touch their prices. The guy that did the installing here did a great job.

so instead of replacing the windshield you just bought a new truck instead?

distortion in w/s is generally caused by non carlite(aftermarket-low quality) replacement. i haven't seen many oe carlite replacements have distortion in 15 years of replacing them. overseas manufacturing brands along with safelites' brand are one of the lowest quality replacement w/s out there. remember-just ask for ford branded carlite. it may cost more, but its worth it.
