I guess its transporting a casket ? If there is a view of the dash I can tell whether it’s a 2007 or 2008 model specifically. Its not going to be a 2009 model as it lacks the Flex Fuel emblem on the rear liftgate. (U354) is for the 131" long wheelbase version while the (U324) is for the 119" normal wheelbase version. ![]() Pay no attention to the Ford F-100, codenamed (P525) The P525 was to be a small to midsize pickup based off the F-150, but Ford cancelled the P525 project. -- Last edit: 2009-05-12 02:03:15 |

No problem, its no biggie. Since this one is from 2007 to 2008, it has the 6-Speed 6R75 Automatic transmission. 2009 models have the 6R80 (an updated version of the 6R75) ![]() The 6R75 has a Mechatronic unit with Microprocessor that improves engagement feel, shift feel and schedules shifts based on the Expeditions projected performance in the next gear. The transmission "learns" and adapts based on data it collects over time, and that data is saved, moved to non-volatile-memory in the Mechatronic unit. Of course, as to what form of data the transmission collects is beyond my limited knowledge of computers. I would assume its in the form of numbers or letters (or maybe both) Antp is a programmer, so maybe he would know. ![]() |

Form of the data is not so relevant: in computers all data at the lowest level are 1 and 0. Then you group these to store numbers, often by 8 (1 byte = 8 bits) which gives values between 0 and 255. All is stored like that. For bigger numbers you usually take 4 bytes, giving value from 0 to 4 milliards, or -2 to +2 milliards (US billion). Same goes for characters and letters, usually one character per byte, that's why in typical characters sets there are 256 possible values (minus the few used for special purposes like linebreaks etc.), e.g. the "iso-9959-1" used on the site that I often mentioned when discussing about character problems in exotic vehicle/movie names ![]() ![]() Anyway to come back to the subject, they probably store lists of numeric values, but what is stored exactly is probably not known by other people than those who designed that system. I am software programmer, but such things are rather done by industrial engineers, who mix software with hardware, dedicated microchips, etc. |

Thanks, my curiosity was getting the best of me ... ![]() |
