Granger Ford - Changing Dealerships Thread

[Dmk08]

Not really,

There is too much speculation on how the courtesy shipping works on this forum so I may need to prepare a thread for it.

I think it stems from the "official forum dealer" saying they could ship anywhere directly from the factory during early threads.

I wonder if this applies to the Bronco?

Their image shows it for 'in stock models only' So it won't work, as expected! They always get you lol.

Here is the thread that explains.

Who was that?

Are there any out of state buyers that selected Granger Ford as there dealership and are concerned about the miles they are going to put on their brand new Bronco to take it back to their home state? Just curious to know the consensus here.

A little bit concerned, but someone on the forum here said that the engines are delivered to the assembly plant 'already broken in'

Oh yeah? Do you know where you heard this and if that information is reliable?

Seems dubious to me due to the number of engines the plants make; I'm not sure what thread it was from.

That was my thought. That was my only concern with not going the route of courteous shipment.

Found the post:

Engine break-ins are done on ever engine before it enters the car. Every manufacturer does it

Found the post:

Testing is mandated yes. Thought you were saying they take them on the road. They break them in within the factory. We are buying newly tested engines. Not used engines LOL.

A break-in to me would be on an engine Dyno at the plant, which is what it sounded like according to that post. No other way to really do a true break-in before the engine is bolted into the vehicle.

Agreed. That would be my hypothesis also for testing. In my opinion that would not be considered putting miles on the engine. If that is the case then all engines are used before they are sold. As said before factory testing is mandated and must be done before engines can depart the factory doors.

A handful of engines from a batch are probably picked at random and put on a Dyno. No way they would test each one and burn through a ton of fuel every day.

Might have been asked and answered already, but does Granger put the sticker / decal on ordered vehicles like the bronco? Rarely see these out on the west coast but seems to be a common occurrence in the Midwest and East
