Todd's really dating himself, now. Must have been from the old mailing list days?

I've never seen it, but now it's bookmarked. Wish there were more pictures.

I've never seen this article, thanks for linking it. It's funny to read what went wrong on the origianl tester: bearings and axels. I've read quite a bit lately on these boards about front bearing replacement and I have personally replaced both of my front axels. Seems like Ford should have done a little more long-term testing, or should have given the final version to C&D for a thorough flogging
