So do I. Last two times I've taken my truck in for service (60K, 75K), I have asked about this reall and been told it does not effect the 1999s. Hmmmmmm.
I have a 2000 F-150. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
It's only an electric switch at the brake fluid reservoir. Only takes minutes to replace, no charge.
I walked across the street and ate a hamburger, by the time I got back it was done.
It's not a big deal. Everyone else can drive their dangerous European style go carts. I be keeping my F-150. It pays for itself.
The Ford F-150, I might add is the best selling vehicle in America for the past 20 years.
