Had to buy more wiper blades. They sure haven't lasted long on this truck. My second replacement in 4 years.

Probably wasted $25 but I bought a Chilton manual.

I'm still on my first set after the stock wipers. Can't remember which ones I bought but they are OK. I still don't have a repair manual.

I bought Bosch Excel after my stock ones wore out. Had them about a year and they are grooving the windshild. Bought RainX this time.

I would like the Ford DVD if I knew where to get it.

It's the only one on ebay I could find, in a search. It is only 28 bucks. Don't know much about that stuff. They do seem real.

Blue im sure ive got an extra one around here somewhere.....

Mine disc's came from Ford, and have every vehicle (03/04) (05/06) (07/08), so not sure if that auction is a compilation of information, or just broken off information from the ford service dvds

If you have an extra for 05s, I'll buy it from you.

I've had good luck with the Michelin blades. I've had set on my truck since bought it, so over a year and still on the first set I put on the beater back in 06. Kinda pricey though, I think they were around $7 a blade.

That's not too pricy. I paid $10 a blade for the last ones and these. I didn't see any Michelins where I was.

I was at Orielly's for these, they had Anco for $4. I went looking for the damn Boschs, got them at Pep Boys. Wish I had never read about them.

Never had luck with the Anco's. I wanted something good and these were the most expensive ones they had. Liked em so I stuck with em.
