v 1.1.1 October 2002

Since 7-10-99 at 12:00pm CDT.

Old Version of the FAQ can be found here

Welcome to the new FAQ. It is more than a FAQ, it is pretty much an owner's guide that goes above and beyond what Ford Motor Company provides.

This FAQ is designed to be viewed at a resolution of 800x600 or higher.

To the left, you wil see all the sections available to you. Below, is the revision history of this guide.

Automatic Transmission Article Revised thanks to Smokey and Mark K.

Oh my, the FAQ was updated! A sign of the apocolypse? Who knows...

Lake Texoma Rally Pictures up here...

xpracr sent in a few diagrams showing where to connect a manual override to the Torque Converter.

Updated various links (Housekeeping...)

Updated the navigation bar

Coolant System Maintenance added courtesy of Steve Pepin and Stephen.

If anyone wants to write up how to change the rear differential fluid, let me know. The maintenance section will be complete.

Still working on various projects to help the site out. Everytime I think I can get free, something comes up.

jetfxr68 sent me in a couple of diagrams and instructions on how to permanently fix your turbo bolts...I share them with you.

Due to a massive amount of work lately, I have been ignoring the FAQ. This will change soon.

Ultra-Ultra-Ultra preliminary plans for version 2.0 is being floated around (Make it similar to the rest of the site). The whole FAQ system will be converted over to a database system that allows more people to have a hand in this. That and it will allow the 94-97 section and the 6.9/7.3 crowd to enjoy in all the fun I currently have with this sonofa-wonderful thing.

Next version should have an updated sidebar with cupholders and the wiring diagram.

Something must be really wrong with me. I updated the FAQ twice in one week. Here are pics of the new cupholders

02/24/2000 08:50:00pm CST

More TSBs added. I am about 1/2 way through the archives of all the old ones. I have two new ones I need to post. But, they are lost somewhere on my system. Don't laugh. I have 4 hard drives with 4 partitions each, totalling ~50gb of storage. You try to find a TSB that is labeled "B1" and "B2" (I think that is their names...) on 16 different drives!

01/31/2000 09:21:00pm CST

Removed VOPC order section due to FoMoCo's suggestion. Hey, I still want my warranty coverage, ok? :)

01/01/2000 07:30:00pm CST

Minor errors fixed

01/01/2000 00:00:01am CST

FAQ seems to be Y2K compliant...

Turbo bolt problem added to Unsolved Mysteries

I am adding more part #s to the FAQ. If you have any, let me know. Anything from aftermarket parts to turbo bolts (*grin*) to the entire engine block, I want them in the FAQ.

Some Text of known TSBs added to the TSB section (I think 4 total...).

Happy New Year. Can't wait till next year when the Millenium comes :)

12/30/1999 07:45:00pm CST

Minor issues fixed.

Thanks for the emails. I hope I got back to everyone who mailed me.

Anything else you want to see?

12/29/1999 07:45:00pm CST

All sections should be online except for Maintenance areas that I have not done nor received information how to do.

Pictures added

Tweaking still in progress

Exactly, why should I buy a diesel?

Stephen ambushed me with a mailbox full of TSBs, apparently, all of them. I will add them as I have time.

Version 1.0! That means it is complete as far as this version goes. I plan to add more when I get time but I plan to move on to another project that needs my attention. You probably will like the results of that one even more :)

Thanks to all that submitted info when I asked for it and especially to SmokeyWren. He is responisble for a lot of the information included in here.

11/24/1999 12:45:00am CST

TSB Section Now online with EVERYTHING I know about the 99-X-X series. I still have to move the 98-X-X series in.

Recall Section also transferred.

I now have a Digital Camera. Expect pictures to be included when I figure out how to work the dang thing :)

Created basic template for the new version of the FAQ.

Preparing transfer of old information into the new format

Seperated 'Trouble Spots' out from 'Maintenance'

Begin Transfer of Information to 'Trouble Spots' since people want that the most
