your truck is not e85. ford has had autos that run on variuos fuels for years. our 89 aerostar ran on gasahol. which is similar to e85 but like 40-50% alchol. my o7 f150 was ffv BUT HAD NO DECALS.

As far as what changes? When the vehicle is running on E85, it uses a new fuel table (fuel is less dense, injector pulse needs to be increased), it advances the timing more (E85 is about 107 octane), and Im sure it changes a few other parameters as needed. It has a sensor that can not only detect whether you are running E85, but any ethanol blend, so the computer can adjust to any gasoline to ethanol ratio.
