Is there anybody who has taken delivery lately that has gotten the right size radiator with the towing package? Also, is Ford still installing the CD player that gets hot?

------------------

 

As far as I know Ford is still installing the same equipment......Radiators / CD Players.

 

I took delivery on Monday. Got small radiator. As far as CD, it seems to get warm but not hot after hours of play, but I didn't use the truck heater...if that makes it hot...not sure.

Although, truck seems to pull to bit to the right. Will need to keep an eye on it and possibly get it looked at.

Dealer called to let me know the truck was in...I asked them to go out and read off the part number for the radiator installed. They read me off the part # for the 1.02" radiator (I ordered 5.4L, Lariat, Class III). It certainly helps to get the ball rolling if you compile these messages and fax/give them to these dealer. Build date for this vehicle was week of 3/5/2001. Plausible deniability is wearing thin...

 

Anybody have problem with cassette deck getting hot?? We have used 'books on tape' on long trips and when sound quality was getting bad, I noticed that the tape was very hot. I'll bring it to a dealer but wonder if anyone knows of an ongoing problem. Thanks
