xa-mont Member 243 Member For: 16y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: Bairnsdale, Victoria Posted 11/08/08 05:12 AM Share Posted 11/08/08 05:12 AM this is confusing the hell outa me, city ford has just come through with a quote and they say that it is standard on all XR utes produced Aug and onwards... I love poor communication within a company :\ Is there anyone here who works at ford in the manufacturing part that could tell us if that PART of the computer or whatever IS or ISN'T being used??? I think ill get my missus to call her aunty who is like a PR manager or something at ford and see if she knows anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just a ECU/PCM programming update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that's what traction control was hinging on. And it would be easier for you to walk out in to the lot to count the number of lines coming out of the ABS module than for me to get in an elevator and go down to the basement! Please report back when you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are going to change over to 4-way for the entire line up when they introduce DSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even think they are legal anymore.For me is all Suspension , Brake and Drivetrain work , before any HP upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
