I couldn't find anything on the ford site, so thanks for digging those up. I also have All Data, and could find nothing there.

What I was trying to say is that nothing appeared in my email from 2carpros.com. No notification of any kind. And yes, I entered my email addy correctly. Doesn't matter to me, but I thought you should know.
