Guys...

Come on...

I don't mind a joke every now and then, I have a sense of humor too, but this is meant to be serious. You're wasting my time if all you're going to post is jokes...

I want real questions that have been frequently asked here. We have been off to a good start, so lets keep that going

Hey Justin, stop poking me in the eye!

I think the most common questions are which tranny's are in what years, what axles are in what years, a reference to computers would be nice with teh same year chart, body part interchange, cluster interchange and resetting, 4x2 to 4x4 conversions, engine swaps, etc.

I really don't think you're going to ever have a complete list... just because of the nature of things, but maybe it would be wise to pick say, the top three things to start off with, and we build the faqs around those, trade and proofreed, take a break then pick the next three.

Or instead of three, pick 10 if 10 people volunteer. I'm assuming you're not writing all the faq's yourself...

I agree that this FAQ is a great idea. Just having trouble finding common ones right now lol. Those jokes were just fillers

Hi Justin ...... I'm a newby to FTE, and don't own a Ford ...... just doing some research for a friend.

I own an '01 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport, do research on the 'minivan' forum of www.allpar.com/forums ..... it is an informative forum for minivans, but not outstanding.

Below is a forum I stumbled across not long ago that I DO think is outstanding - both in the huge amount of info presented for the users .... but also in the
arrangement/presentation of the data ...... http://www.wjjeeps.com/index.htm .....

Time permitting - look it over ....... it might give you some good ideas of 'where you want to go' ! ! !

Wouldn't have a complete list. I'm looking for roughly 20 or less questions to be answered. First step was to generate a good small list of questions, then start organizing the data. Almost at that point

Did you get ABS codes and code definitions?
How about Air bag/SRS code reading and definitions?
Have 88 and 95 manuals but if someone has CD's and can copy and paste it would be a lot easier; Saw that today earlier on a question on Radius arm bushing replacement.

I can't do a list of codes because it's too lengthy and there are pleanty of off-FTE sources for that info. Same with the manuals, those are copywritten materials.

I wish ken, if he could, would put Topics/threads cannot be titled "help" only (when you go to post one) or set a min characters before the thread can be posted. The "help", etc. titles are very annoying!

20 sounds very reasonable given the variety of applications during these build dates. We have 4.9's to 7.5's, speed densitly and mass air, manual and auto transmissions....then again 20 might just be a good start, and then just expand it from there

The NLOC has an FAQ, and it is very useful. However, an FAQ section for this forum will take more time and input for it to be established being that it covers many differently applications from the factory.

Good luck with the FAQ section! It looks like all of the obvious topics were mentioned here, but let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Yup, any blank title, even "91 F-150" is too basic. Everyone should be titling threads as accurately as possible in a few words.
