Yeah my friends out by Tickfaw and New Orleans had around 8+ inches. Here in the Hill Country we had maybe 1/2 inch, it's like it just started here and barreled East and smoked Houston East to Louisiana and further. Crazy!
Glad you were okay, objects can be fixed and repaired but lives cannot. As a service director I hate reading these things as we always train on these little but big things. Unfortunately this was the techs fault but yes mistakes happen. It is hard to have young techs or lube techs understand...
You'd be amazed the good money thrown after bad money. I remember one time there was an Expedition that needed a cat converter, truck was at 79,XXX miles (8/80 on converters). Converter was on backorder, $~1200 part at the time but aftermarket was available. Ford would not put the aftermarket...
I'm guessing the buyback was denied because the concern doesn't make the vehicle unsafe or undrivable, it isn't a mechanical failure. Sucks either way that you are going through some of this but I can tell you first hand there are a ton of programming issues right now and engineers are hard (at...
Yeah I remember way back when that was a thing recommending a tune up or a customer asking for one and giving them the menu price for the plugs and being told we were terrible people trying to rob everyone blah blah blah...only to see it on a hook being towed in later that day or the next with...
Thanks for the response, don't take it as a bash trust me, been doing this too long to take anything personal and I again totally agree with you and the DIY! I have also seen the DIY guy who thinks he can do it, can't and it ends up here for warranty after the fact. Or the DIY guy that has...
Nice vid, great info for anyone DIY! I am all about DIY but I am also a long time service director for Ford so I find some of the comments interesting. Who is paying $120 for an oil change? I'm $59.95 for just an oil change, $79.95 for a works package, no not full synthetic but even my full...
Damn McGyver! If you are looking for a tech position I am hiring for an EEC/Drivability tech here in Texas. Pretty cool but that's a lot of work to hit a button no?
LOL yep, it's a thing. Just bought my wife a new IS 350 F-Sport and it even has a small dial on the lower left hand dash that adjusts the volume of it lol.
My "works" packages for 6 qt. with the rotate is $79.95, I knock 10 bucks off if a customer does mobile service. I am cheaper (in my town) than any lube place around all using Ford oils and filters.
Sounds like you have a great dealer, kudos to them for taking care of you!
Ah! I think we misunderstood ea. other. The only thing that fits in the factory location is that stealthbox or something similar. The 8 was just in the cargo area but really small and durable enough you could put stuff on, unplug it and take out if hauling something. I know you aren't...
Yeah, it's a lot of coin for what it is but you are correct, it does serve a purpose.
JL makes an 8 in a sealed box that jams like a mofo and takes up almost zero room. My stereo shop put it in mine while they were building my new box when they took the stealthbox out, came close to just...
Why do you need to quit going when your maintenance contract expires? If you are getting great service why stop? This is a question I have for my customers here sometimes too.
