I don't have a better memory, Smokey, but I can still do research.
I just looked up a few dates, as this thread got my curiousity up.
On 7/29/02 Jason posted about the cease-and-desist letter he got from Ford. Another post mentioned that Sep 13, 02 was the "pumpkin date" for the change.
On 7/30/02, Jason posted the new name, TheDieselStop.com which was gleaned from suggestions by members. Big K and CapeCod shared the credit for coming up with it.
The change happened shortly thereafter.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
