Does anyone know how to track a rail car being pulled by CSX? I checked
their web site and it looks like you have to be a customer of CSX to do it.
Is there another way?

Subject: FTE 97up - Explorer suspension upgrades?

My Explorer's suspension is way too soft for me. I know this is a common
complaint, judging by comments in truck magazines (which state that Explorers
have a "Conestoga wagon" suspension) and my dealer, who shrugged apathetically
when I mentioned it. Low speed corners throw are unbearably nausiating. Other
SUVs are not known for this.

Does anyone have experience or recommendations in the Explorer suspension
> upgrade department?

I've already switched to Bilstein shocks and I'm going to Kenny Brown
Performance to have it lowered 1 1/2 inch. and get Dunlop tires Will this
work? Any better ideas?

Thanks. It's a '97, two wheel drive, V-8, towing package.

If your order was in before the 7th you will still get the Rebate if the dealer has done all the paperwork to guarantee it.

Nathan,

I heard that Ford extended the Customer Appreciation Rebate past July 7 if
you ordered the new vehicle before the July 7 deadline. Is this true? Thanks.

Subject: FTE 97up - Questions about gas tank, tow package, anti-theft system, CD changer

Hello. This is my first post to the Ford F-150 list server which I just
joined. I'm also posting this on Usenet, which I hope is OK.

I had been looking for a car for months and thanks to many helpful people
on Usenet, especially in the Ford groups (several of whom are probably on
this list), I finally bought a 98 Ford F-150 Super XLT 4.6L V8 with
automatic. I know very little about cars or trucks, so I'm still learning.

After having my questions answered about gas mileage on a 3.55 limited slip
axle and how to drive my new 98 Ford F-150 SuperCab XLT during the break-in
period, I've moved onto some other questions regarding other aspects of my
new truck that I'm still confused about after looking through my truck manual.

1. GAS TANK. I know the F-150 comes with a 25.1 gallon gas tank, but how do
the markings on the Fuel Gauge relate to how much gas is actually in the....
