My passenger side elec. door lock doesnt work either. The only way it opens is with some pliars and the key. My 87 has a 93 motor, and i like my pistons just the way they are , and if they are not as strong, why did ford put them in place of the forged pieces?

im still gonna have to go with 87-92 on that one, I dont know for sure though cause im not trying to get into shit with people over this.
Whoever know what years had forged pistons, let us know.
I swear its 87-92 and I know for sure 93 was the only year they saved a few million on piston choice lol.

86-92 all had forged pistons, except in 86 they were flattop forged.
