Allan, It's definitely slipping. If I wanted to I could redline the engine speed by applying a little throttle--doesn't have to be coming up a hill. I barely made it home last night on the flatlands of the FL panhandle. Leaving a light, I had to go real easy on the throttle to prevent slippage. Even starting out in low, it will slip if I don't go real slow. Can't smell any burning though. This weekend I'll pull the cover off to see if there's any evidence of damage. I know what you mean about the fan roar--heard that coming down I-81 in the mountains. First time I heard it I thought it was the clutch but noticed right away that engine speed and road speed hadn't changed. At about 40K miles I had to change the clutch cylinder assembly. Truck left me high and dry in Mississippi--pedal on the floor, no clutch release. I mentioned my suspicions of clutch slippage to the dealer at about 30,000 miles but they said it wasn't slipping. Without having the trailer at the time, I couldn't demonstrate that it was a problem. On the dual mass flywheel issue, I've been told by several folks that these were dropped by Ford well before 2001--I think in '99 or early 2000 or so. Also this truck was ordered in late 2001. Since you worked for Ford can you tell me if the clutch is included in the powertrain warranty? I pretty much figured they won't back this up and I'll be buying and installing a LUK kit or something else if there's anything better out there.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
