I went to the dealer today. Its funny when they don't have what you want they try yo sell you what they have. When I am spending $ 28,000 I want what I want not what they have. Still looking for a V8 limited ORANGE. YoUR trucks are beautiful enjoy

Thanks guys. Dad certainly has to follow in my footsteps! He didn't waste any time getting Vent Shades.
I got to drive his Job 2 to the point where we took the photos and noticed that the Fuel and Water Temp guages had a white face. On my Job 1, the RPM and Speedo are white faced, but the Fuel and Temp guages are black faced.
Also, the Job 2 door require VERY LITTLE effort to shut. My Job 1 doors, you have to retry shutting the door several times. This has nothing to do with the door pull - as you have the same problem shutting it from the outside.
In addition, the limited edition spare tire in the Job 2 is a 17" wheel with a Goodyear on it. My Job 1 has an 18" wheel with a Michelin on it, just like the 4 on the road. Maybe there that is a cost-saving idea.

Looks great! I wish I had the white faces water/fuel gauges. That sucker is hard to see sometimes! That is all I would change on my Job1 if it were easy, but I know it isn't. How does the 17" spare work with his 18's?? Does it use a taller tire?? Does his motor sound like your first one that you had replaced??

The 17" spare has bigger a bigger diameter tire on it so that it is just like running a full-size spare. I guess the 17" wheel/tire was cheaper than the 18".
His engine sounds like my first V8 on start. It knocks when you first start it like it's starved for oil. I noticed that when starting it. My second V8 probably did that too until I programmed it for 93 octane with the Xcal2. His V8 does not knock at all after running, like my first V8 did!

Pat when you get your vent shades get the in-channel ones....they look much better, IMHO.

You have a rare color there. I live in south Florida and have not seen an orange sport trac around here. Also went to 4 dealers none on the lots. Looking for a limited V8 2 wheel drve but I won't be ready till chrismas. Maybe by then there will be a couple. Ford does not show the color orange as a choice on their web sight yet

I notice on our "07 Job 1 that it is so tight it's hard to close the doors. (and not due to the rediculous inside handles)
Does your Dad's Job 2 have a sliding rear window? Our '01 Job 2 with the SRW is easy to close when all closed up. Just wonder if there isn't some way for the air to escape around there.

buzzworth - I actually had the chance to interface with one of the Ford engineers on this and they informed me that there was a change to the door seals. I think it was a material change because the seals look the same. Even with the windows down, the door will not shut as easy as the Job 2 with the windows up. My dad does have the power down rear window, but I don't think that's allowing air out.
