CDR = Crankcase Depression Regulator (or just "Adapter" if you are talking to a Ford Dealer)
IP = Injector Pump
TC = Torque Converter
VR = Voltage Regulator
EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature
GAWR = Gross Axle Weight Rating
OBD = On Board Diagnostics
TCS = Transmission Control Switch
VSS = Vehicle Speed Sensor

ZF, C6, E4OD = all different types of trannys. The first is a manual, the second is a 3 speed, and the third has an OD.

OD = Overdrive.
GV = Gearvendor
