Fordman,
>>>>You got me curious when you said that the heavy duty towing package only comes with the automatic tranny in the light duties. I ordered my 4.6 5 speed with the package and it was indicated on the factory order and the window sticker. I was going to be ticked off if I paid for something I didn't get. I got a friend of mine who works at a local Ford dealer to check my truck for me to make sure it had all it was supposed to on that package. My 5 speed does have the towing package...HD radiator, HD alternator, HD battery, HD shocks, seven pin electrical connector and of course class three hitch. I was about to blow a fuse if I had found out I had payed $400.00 for an option I didn't get.
>>>>Pressure coming down, heartrate slowing, feeling much better now......LOL

I was referring to the heavier suspensions, not the trailer towing package. For instance, the '98 options sheet indicates this:
- code 203 Payload Package #3-2441 LB, requires 996 4.6 liter Engine, axle ratio X19 or XH9 and Auto Transmission 44U
- code 203 Payload Package #3-2189 LB (requires 99l or 99Z 5.4 liter Engine and axle ratio X19 or XH9)

>>>>Ok, got ya. What made me misunderstand was the comment about the radiator. I thought you meant the manual couldn't have the HD radiator.

My options sheet indicates code 535, Trailer Towing Group-Class III as available on both standard shift and automatic models and includes code 63H Elctrical/cooling Package-Heavy Duty. HOWEVER, the code 63H is listed as being available by itself (w/o towing package) only on an automatic. WTF? This is a '98 options sheet.
