Post What happened to FordFuelInjection.com??
Anyone know what happened to FordFuelInjection.com? When I went to the site, it says that the info is proprietary and it has been taken down. Anyone have any references to that info?

Ummm, yikes. Now when I try the link, I see only the same legal notice of site shutdown you noticed originally.

That sucks, it was a very useful site!

Thanks for the link Anafiel. That really bites. I hope he is able to keep the website open under some name that doesn't use the word "Ford".

It's more of an issue with some of the content that he had... Ford's lawyers must be hungry again...

From what I'm seeing on that thread, Ford (or their lawyers) don't have a problem with the content of the site. It now seems that they have a ******** for the domain name.

I don't get it, Ford is pissing on themselves over this issue, and shutting down a mega wonderful information site to boot. This is the kind of corporate crap that sets my hair on fire.

As much as I love both my trucks, my loyalty to the Ford name has dropped about 23 notches over this issue.

TECHNICALLY, Ford wants you to grovel at their feet, to just post PICS of your Ford vehicle, as it is a "Copyrighted, patented, etc" vehicle model....

I call BS....

Ford corporate wants you to buy a new Ford vehicle, not keep your old one running. However, I think this is shallow thinking. People seeing old Fords still in service is good marketing for their brand.

Just read the story on FSB. Wow.

I was there back when FordDiesels.com changed over to The Diesel Stop.

Same BS story. Thought Ford would have been over that by now.

There's always a way around.
