well the fart from the exahust is completely normal. its the 4 cylinder cutoff, a chip will fix that for you.

I never heard of the passenger window motor going out?

me neither....damn I would be pissed off if I had that door crack thing. My roof doesnt have the cracks but my last f-150 did. If your's is a 99 like your name suggests, you shouldn't have a cracked fog light, the 99-00 fog lights arent the same style as the 01-03..which had the cracking problem

I replaced my '00 fogs about 5 times. EVERY one was cracked from the INSIDE.

The '99s and '00s had the cracking problem. Ford's attempt to fix the problem in the '01s just made it worse.

I replaced mine 4 times and finally I got so tired of it I just don't use them anymore.

I haven't used my fogs in about a year probably! someday I would like to use them again but I just don't want them to crack again.

I'm also interested in "door'crack" &

foglight crack. Where does dor crack usually appear? Any consistency of location for this problem? Fog lights have been looked at a number of times,but see anything. Is crack noticeable and what do they look like? I' usually careful to not run fogs in the rain after reading this forum. My regular warranty expires in less than 3 mo.,but truck only has 10k on 2KL. CYNTAXX extended warranty only for mechanical & electrical issues stated NOT appearance items.

I dont undertsand how the 99-00 fogs are so bad, they have been using that style in mustangs for years. Do the newer style '03 fogs crack? I saw them and they dont have a reflector on them, does this solve it or only delay the problem?
