Just about all the decoders (including FTE's) are pretty much worthless. They are full of omissions and errors.
I use the Ford factory parts catalogs to decode the VINs.
They're avaliable on CD from hipoparts.com and others.

You can post your VIN, and someone can decode it rather quickly. If you're not fully comfortable posting the full VIN, use "X"s for the last 4-5 digits (usually numbers) as they don't make much difference. The first 5 tell model, engine, and assembly plant. The rest is build number, and can pinpoint the exact year.
