[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743466, member: 60724"] Caymen says: For a guy that seems to believe every nutball conspiracy theory about GWB, I don't see why you wouldn't "question" the whole "wrong fluid at the factory" line that Ford put out. I personally find it hard to believe that all of a sudden Ford started putting the wrong fluid in trannies. More likely, IMHO, is that they wanted to change the fluid in an attempt to avoid the problems they were seeing. If the recall truly was for the purposes of bringing the existing fluid up to the required specs, then my question is was the original fluid really wrong, or did the so-called "specs" change? I suspect that the fluid in the 04s originally was the same as in the 03 and 02, the only thing that changed was the specs. Does anyone have any evidence to the contrary? If my theory is the case, then why did the specs change? And if my theory is not correct, then why did the '04s get a different fluid in the factory than previous model years? If they did have a different fluid, I doubt it was accidental. Regardless which came first, the fluid change, the spec change, the wrong fluid; the one thing that is clear is that there appears to be what we call in the industry "tampering" going on. Tampering in that changes were being made. Why were those changes being made? It all smells way too fishy to me. TJR [/QUOTE]
