CRACKS HAVE FORMED IN THE BOTH DOORS OF MY 1998 F150 XLT AT THE BASE OF THE WINDOW. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR AND THE RESULTANT RUSTING THAT MAY OCCUR. ALSO, BOTH WINDOWS DON'T OPERATE PROPERLY....AS THEY DON'T MOVE UP AND DOWN FREELY. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME CRACKS ON SEVERAL OTHER F150S IN RECENT MONTHS.

I HAVE READ THROUGH THE INTERNET THAT MANY OF THESE 4.2L FORD ENGINES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HEAD GASKETS AS MINE HAS. *PH **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**770816
