Several months ago, I put together and installed JSimmons' mod which defeats Ford's idiotic automatic transmission adaptive functioning circuit. He devised a pigtail mod (which doesn't require cutting into the car's wiring) that is cheap and fairly easy to construct. Once your car is turned off, the mod kills the power to the (fuse #47) circuit that controls the car's adaptive functioning memory and after about 10 - 15 minutes wipes the memory clean. As a result, the car never adopts to driving situations which lead to poor performance (such as slow or stop and go type traffic). I haven't experienced any more SLUG-gishness since I installed this mod. It's one of the best mods I've done yet regardless of price.
