Anybody have the OEM part # for a stock lightning steering wheel? Does anybody know if they come with the air bag?

 

If I remember right its the same as the Exploder...check out an Explorer Sport, it might be cheaper?

The wheel will have a separate part # than the airbag.

 

I dont know why they dont just list it on the website... a lot of stuff isnt listed but can still be found if you have the part number..ill look into the explorer thing though, thanks

 

It's definately not the run of the mill F150 wheel, and it matches perfectly the wheel that was on both the 97 and 00 Exploders I had. Although it looked absolutely identical to both of those I can't honestly tell you if the wiring hookups/rings behind it are/were identical. A base part # would tell you that.

I also remember an interview with someone from SVT (Coletti? Scarpello?) that mentioned it was an Exploder wheel.

Good luck!

 

I havent had any luck as of yet, I was going to have my wheel wrapped in something neat but I like how much smaller the L one is. Besides its starting to show some wear now.

Im re-starting this thread, anybody have any different ideas?

 

Go into a dealer parts department and have them look up and give you the part #. Have them verify if that is the same # used on the (1997-2001) Explorer. There are a few online parts houses that may save you some money on a new one, OR, armed with the knowledge of the parts interchangeability, try to have a local salvage yard locate one for you.

Otherwise, some carbon fiber kits include an applique for the wheel rim...

Just a few ideas--hope this helps...

 

yeah i think i may go to ford in person and have them look it up. thanks, cool sig pic by the way. Blue is bad *** looking on it

 

I heard that the 03 steering wheel will be thicker and have perforated leather like the FR500 steering wheel for the Mustangs.

 

Thanks...btw, got a reply from oemfordparts.com on my following query: "Price on a Lightning steering wheel. Fits 1999-2002"


FYI...I have never done business with this place before, so this is just informational and standard disclaimers apply.

Hope this helps.

 

Yeah the one I saw a couple months ago did...

Of course between then and production...anything could happen.

 

I have an account with them. I e-mailed them but did not recieve a reply. They usually have good deals and decent service. thanks for the part number

 

No problemo--Good luck!
