Post Ford Insider site

Has anyone tried the Ford Insider site? FoMoCo sent me an ad in the mail listing this site.
http://www.myfseries.fordvehicles.co...oginpage01.jsp

About the only cool thing there seems to be the wiring diagrams. The rest is kinda lame.

I read in Automotive news that Ford is trying a marketing stratagy which is starting sites like this one, making sort of chapters and clubs for people to meet! They had a SVT meet in MI...

But I'll stick to this site for my Ford truck needs

Yea, I tried it just today. Kinda weak, for example you can look at the TSB's but it won't give you access to their corrective action. Looking forward to the 1:26 scale model though since it looks almost like my truck

I don't know about what you have seen, but the TSBs are the only link not working on my visits. I was able to see detailed service manuals, PC/ED trouble shooting guides, wiring diagrams, component locators, etc. I about burned up my printer today printing these out for use at home. And by the way, I was able to get data for my wife's 1996 Windstar also. I hope they keep the site up!

I tried to access that site but it won't let me in! It said I needed to be invited! Do you know of any way I can wrangle an invitation? LOL!

2000Lariet: Where did you find the model truck info at??? I couldn't find it???

Cowlady: I was sent the "invitation" in the mail. More correctly, the letter I got has a personal ID # and password that I guess identifies me to the site.
