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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!
