I think that what ford is doing here is they are trying to keep the V10 in
it's power range. The V10 develops it's power at higher RPM's than the
460. It's braking capacity that will determine if the GCVR gets raised any.

Chris,

Here's the address, but don't expect much more than a form letter response.
They'll refer you back to your selling dealer. They're basically useless.

Ford Motor Company
Customer Service
300 Renaissance Center
P.O. Box 43360
Detroit, MI 48243

K-Mart always stocks Motorcraft oil and filters and has frequent sales on
both.
Oil is .89 or .99 on sale and filters are 2 for $5.00 or cheaper on sale.

Subject: Re: ADMIN: Possible new list

Seems to me there ought to be a list for just the 97 and beyond F series,
the one with the new designs. Keeping these seperate from the older F
series makes sense I think because engines are different for the most part.

The list should try to be as narrow of field as possible without getting to
narrow that it dies for lack of interest like many many newsgroups that I
have seen.

Any thoughts on just a 97 and beyond list?
