A dealer this past weekend was advertising ALL '04 F150 XLT supercabs at $8500 below MSRP - that means you can get a car equiped just the way you want for close to $21,000 plus tax, title and registration.
Don't buy a one year old truck with incentives like these.
You can go to ford.com and build your truck then put in your zip code and they will point you to inventory at a dealer near you. Once you have a VIN, your ready to negotiate.
any service bulletin on the 2004 F150 trucks?
when you say "family" are you referring to a member in the family who worked for Ford or as an existing Ford owner? either way, it's the best deal I've heard of or seen posted here.
Re: rebates - it's hard to tell what they will do. When rebates go up, sometimes it means the dealer will back off from his discount - so it doesn't always mean the total cost is lower.
I've been posting here for several months and seen the advertisements go from $5k off msrp in March to $7k off MSRP in June to $8,500 off MSRP in July. Who knows where the end is??
Haven't had the problem. Do know that if the SRS indicator light is on, it means that your air bag system is disabled and will not deploy even if you're in a real accident.
There's a Web Site that's run by Ford Service Technicians called "Flat Rate Tech." It's usually for the mechanics and their grievances against Ford, but they also provide a help service to the Do it Yourselfer. You can submit your question over there, and they will try their best to answer it via return E-mail. They got access to all the manuals and computer data bases that you and I can't get to. They're usually pretty helpful, and do a pretty fair job considering they're not actually putting their hands on the vehicle. It's free of charge.

How can I diagnose if I have a faulty gauge or sensor and where in the heck is the sensor located?
Let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Does anyone else have some advice or experience to share?
Thanks, Dennis
fortunately it's not too hot where I live, otherwise I'd be more impatient. The Max AC does nothing to improve things either.

my '04 maintenence schedule calls for the accessory belts to be replaces at 130k miles (close to that anyway).
Seems strange that your engine would start with it four years and 70K miles later. Makes me think that may be something else has gone awry. (Yet, I wouldn't want you to get stuck with an engine tear-down and re-assembly bill on my account.)
I'm not sure how far back the archived message threads go back on this site. Do a search on Piston Slap - there were a large number of posts about it in late '98, and all throughout '99 into 2000.
Rotors can warp when brakes get overheated, or if the lug nuts are overtightened.
Anyone know how to get rid of it?
Thanks!

In the owner's manual it has instructions on how to deactivate the audible fasten seatbelt reminder. You have to turn the key on and off and fasten and unfasten the buckle in a particular sequence.

Great! I'll look for it first thing in the morning. Thanks for the help!

Perhaps you could expand a little, so we could make more sense of the whole situation?
Things like symptoms, mileage, how the dealer got to pull the engine, would be a good start.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Transmission - Read your owners manual. The 'Maintenance' section will specify when the transmission fluid is to be changed.
can't you use Edmunds used car page and look up this exact model to determine what comes standard with the XTR package?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
