Looks good how did it do pulling the trailer?

Did well.  I need to adjust my Equalizer hitch, should put more weight towards front axle.  Never adjusted it after I raised the rear 3-4" and seems like bars aren't working as much.

Also need to figure out best PSI for the tires.  4wheel parts had them at 75 PSI, pretty rough on uneven pavement.  I lowered to 70 PSI on trip home and felt a little better.

Spoke with a few people and still on National back order with no eta,just dont want to settle for an aftermarket which they have in stock,another note to mention is that the glass co assured me there would be no water intrusion because of the two layered glass structure hopefully.  Z

I may have missed your response, are you going through a dealership or glass co?

I'm dealing with safelite auto glass,also confirmed with my dealer about the glass being on back order and also they dont deal with windshield installs.  Z

So I just called my local Safelite and chatted with them about my poor relative ZSHO who may have to come here to get glass.....none of their vendors have it either and she indicated she would have to order it from them or the local Ford dealership and the cost would be 447.43 installed.

I wonder wtf is going on.....

I did just read a blurb about a glass shortage , but that was an architecture website.

I will see if I can persuade MrsFoMoCoSHO to inquire about the situation.

Thats very kind of you indeed,the only issue is after i was approved for the oem glass by the insurance co which is affiliated with safelite they made an appt a week later to install it and the glass looked pretty much like mine and after the manager cross referenced the part #it was the wrong windshield.

I had to get an "aftermarket" windshield from safelite. That glass looks the same, has the same dot matrix pattern and tinting on the top, just a different name on it.
Although, I had a horrible experience with safelite and will never use them again. First they ordered the wrong windshield so I had to go in to the safelite shop for the install of the aftermarket glass. I asked the installer if the rain sensor worked and he said he sprayed the glass and it work. He lied to my face as the sensor wasn't even hooked up, just dangling in the rearview cover. They sent a mobile installer out to fix that but they didn't replace the sensor pad. A few days later it rained and the wipers intermittently worked on the auto setting. Then I go to spray my windshield and no water is spraying. I get home, fill up the reservoir and spray again and see the water pouring out under the car. The sumabish installer didn't even hook up the water lines! Oh, and they put scratches on my dash during the install.
They're coming later this morning to fix the sprayers and I'm getting my $425 reimbursed.
