any other partsmen have trouble with ford parts? after 30 plus years it is getting worse for me.for example( i don't remember the exact year) late 80's ford pick up fuel pump for the 300 6 cyl...plastic or steel tank, forward or aft tank, wheelbase ..etc. about 6 months ago a guy called on an ecm for his 98 taurus. he knew it was the 3.0 but didn't know if it was dohc or ohv. i had 23 choices. he called back and said it was the ohv..that narrowed it down to 7 choices..to find the correct ecm i needed not only the oe# on ecm but also a calibration code. yesterday i get a call from a lady wanting a brake rotor for a 99 ford ranger. she knew that it was a 2 wheel drive. i always try to get as much information as possible about the vehicle because i want to get my customers the right part the first time. well, on this ranger i needed to know 2 wheel or 4 wheel anti lock brakes,torsion bar or coil spring suspension, gasoline or flex fuel, and 10 9/32 or 11.28 diameter rotor. after i asked about 2 or 4 wheel anti lock brakes she told me (again) that it was a 2 wheel drive. i told her i knew that but needed to know about the abs and several other things. she proceeded to holler (i assume at her husband, but also in my right ear) asking about the abs. i figured he would have to go look so i told her hold on i need to know some more things. she told me i had an attitude and hung up on me. thank you ford engineers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
