If you have power windows go to Oreilly and get a window regulator. It is cheaper than ford and it has a limited lifetime warranty.
I put the Oreilly unit in and broke it trying to open a frozen window (my fault). Oreilly replaced it no problem.

It's set for torque... floor it, the max shifts are low. My custom performance tune is way more powerful off the line and revs high, but the tow tune has tons of torque down low because if you had a load, you'd need the extra power to get the load moving

truck did a strange shift on me going up a hill and for some reason, i could be being paranoid, but i feel like ive got a little bit of a vibration and my exhaust seems louder, like the truck is struggling. im being very paranoid about my transmission lately. i was at the beach and took it on the sand and it felt very very sluggish, so i reloaded my tune (been running canned level 2 tow tune on a gryphon) and it went back to being normal. now its been feeling sluggish again so i decided to change it up and reloaded my tune but went with the level 1 tune. also corrected for my tire size. i dont like how the level two tune holds first for a long time, moving up in traffic gets to be awkward sometimes because it tries to shift to second right as im letting off the throttle.
really hope im not about to have transmission troubles. i hate being paranoid

took it to work (advance auto) and put a 65-2 in it. no more with that stupid little 59 with 540 cold cranking amps. started to crank a little slow in the mornings, tested charge required, which usually means its on its way out. truck used to show 13.7 volts driving around town, now it wont drop below 14. hoorah for 850 cold cranking amps.
