Anybody that says that is why I do all my own work is flat wrong. Everyone is human and if you do enough of your own work eventually it will happen to you also. Nobody is perfect. The only difference is that if a shop screws it up they usually will accept fault and pay for it. You screw it up...
Ford sends them out not the dealers choice who gets them. They always seem to send them to the worst customers that are mad that they have to pay for repairs, everything should have a lifetime warranty.
I'm a Service Manager at a Ford Dealership. You also can't forget how many people come in for brakes metal to metal or ball joint or tie rod fell apart because they or some other shop did their oil change. They don't think about the free mpi they get with the service.
I put my hand through the handle and my thumb on the same hand against the door. I pull the handle but my thumb holds the door shut for the drop then pull the door open. Works fine for me. They need to design them so you touch the handle the window drops just like the smart unlock does.
I don't know why you say "Assembly Line Fail" but then say it quit days after you got it. It is a failure but noway is it the Assembly Lines fault it quit. You make it sound as if they screwed up.
The shop manual is not specific for which model your working on. Under the procedure it will just say if it has a solid sway bar do this and if it's a electric disconnect do this. As far as Ford warranty they will kick the claim back because hvbom will say that's the wrong part for the vin you...
I know your wanting to stick with the stock OBX wheels. But here is my regular OBX with sasquatch take offs with no lift. I think it looks so much better with the bigger tires.
Most seals are made for one direction sealing. It keeps the oil from going out not from things coming in. If the engine was in the water and still running it probably pulled the water through the front crank seal. People backing boats into the lake get water into the rear differential through...
I Replaced a axle on my Bronco with 4000 miles on it because a boot was split and throwing grease out. Seal didn't leak before but did afterwards. I had to replace it now no leaks 18000 miles later. Just because it's low mileage doesn't mean it won't leak.
Were you in the 9am group? I was in the 8am group and there was a guy from Virginia but he said he wasn't you. Anyway it was a great time. Guide Brian rode most of the time with us as we were in the rear. It was great talking with him.
The Rocky Mountain Ford region was giving these otterbox coolers away a few years ago with the purchase of a new truck. I love it, just got back from a 5 day trip to Moab, holds ice good.
Last year this time mine sat on plant hold for a couple months before it was released. Then it sat at MAP for another month before it shipped. I was told by someone at the factory it was on hold for a headlight issue?
Actually the dealer does have the say. The way it works is if we fix it and Ford doesn't think it should be covered they charge us back for it. That means we pay for it. Been there done that on a 6.7 diesel injection pump. Also getting the hotline and FSE involved does NOT mean Ford will pay...
