need some clarification from a transmission guy/someone at ford...what exact model transfer cases are put in our trucks? a discussion came up about 4A mode- I had always assumed 4A had a open center differential in the transfer case PLUS a dog-type clutch to lock the diff in 4H modes, but where...
nit-pic thing, but both rear doors on our 22 you really gotta slam to latch... hoped it would get better as seals got used, but 2 months old, still every time anyone gets out, I gotta go reclose the doors... is this common? door aligns ok, so dont think it needs adjusted, hate to put silicone on...

if you go here- and skip to 19:40 or so, he talks about this new master cylinder- but its on a loaded platinum... I'm wondering if its 'special' because of the bluecruise type self driving stuff, hoping my (shipped...) Lariat high has a more conventional one... this thing reminds me of the old...
