Cant help but notice that "cruise control fire recall" issue in one of the first posts. I have a 92 and have never heard of this. Thank god I've never used the cruise control. Does anyone know if this is an issue on the 92? and how to find out if anythings been done about it?

Call your FORD dealer's service department and ask them about your '92. The fire hazard can occur even when the vehicle is not running. So this may be something that you want to look into.

Yeah, as I recall, the issue could happen whether you use the cruise or not. Best to check with your Ford dealer - have the VIN ready and they can check for you.

Just found a 3-pack of SouthCo 5lb latches on eBay for $5+3.50(ship)=8.50. I'm pretty sure they're the H315 latches from RVDesigner. Looks like the seller has 1 more 3-pack left! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Southco-Pus ... ee&vxp=mtr
