What else would you guys like to see in there?

I've seen some really good posts here by a guy who I think is a Ford tech, he writes up good HOWTOs and even makes videos he puts on YouTube. I'd like to include some of his posts but I don't remember how to spell his username, I think it's something like mocalucco but I don't remember for certain....? EDIT nevermind, found him - makuloco2000

BTW I want to change my wording in how I approached you guys about this... I shouldn't have said "post your suggestions" as that can imply said suggestions need to go through some sort of approval process or sumthin'...

That's not at all the case! We can put up there whatever you guys want, but only me and the supermods have write ability to that thing... this is to keep it from being a SPAM magnet or accumulating a bunch of chit-chat or questions or whatever....

Need one for the water pump replacement on the 3L. That stupid drive pulley that has to be pulled is a PITA. I couldn't find an existing thread when I tackled this job last week. If there isn't one, I'll see if I can put one together.

How about finding the factory door keypad code.

I found it today, and saw many other people seeking the answer in years past. Also, what about easily stained upholstery ?
Again seems like a very common issue.
