Nice! I got my "Built" email on 4/1 and my tracking status was just updated to "shipped" this morning dated 4/4. So, fingers crossed it's on the way soon!

I guess that means my truck that got built last week won't be catching the train this week then :cry:

Nevermind lacking the proper Ford certification, it doesn't even meet the required API/ILSAC rating. THAT is your indicator of whether or not you should use it. Ford didn't "develop" wss-m2c962-a1, that is Ford's internal reference specification that aligns with API SP/ILSAC GF6A.

I'm suspect of the diagnosis on this one. Was there any original mention of them changing the EGR cooler when the first batch of parts arrived? If that has failed, it will *need* to be changed regardless of whether or not the tailpipe assembly is on backorder. Also, along with the assembly, have...

Translation: The reprogram was done incorrectly and bricked the truck because they probably gave it to the new guy who hasn't learned how to use FDRS yet. At least that's how it would probably happen at the Dealer I worked at.

If Ford says it is a direct replacement for the FL-910S, then I'd say roll with it.

Someone who works here at the college has an Area 51 lariat. Haven't figured out who it is yet.

I’m aware of the typical warranty coverage of Powertrain components, I spent a little over 5 years dealing with Ford’s inconsistent warranty practices almost daily. I think these sorts of claims come down to the quality of the Warranty administrator. Our admin would work to get things covered...

AllData lists it at 1.1 hr for a 22MY. Shouldn't be bad at all. Keep in mind there is also an auxiliary electric pump.

I've seen some convoluted procedures but good Lord why would they do it this way So everyone with this key should put together a tiny "tow" kit to keep with they key that has an 8MM wrench and a flathead screwdriver.

So just by a quick look at AllData, it looks like Ford is considering the heat exchanger to be part of the auxiliary cooling system, similar to a heater core. That's how they're justifying not considering it a powertrain component. However, I can't see how that's not considered a powertrain...

The thing about that list of seemingly endless codes it that without knowing what each of them are, it really doesn't mean anything. Lemon law, unreliability, it's all easy to talk about without more details on the issue.

This was likely done because a new brake-specific TSB is in the works. I saw several reports here from owners who said their brakes went back to grabbing after a short time, so it seems there's a good chance their initial reprogram fix wasn't 100%. Most likely the brake TSB isn't gone, it's...

oOo I had this cool idea to charge my EDC flashlight in there but I think this might be my new favorite idea...

LOL Yep that pretty much explains it for me. I don't know how much effort or work actually goes into modifying the shutters, but I'd reckon If I've got less than 1/2 hour to do it both, I'm spending my time on the shutters to make sure I don't scratch anything. If the stone deflector needs...

Anybody know how much it pays to perform this recall? The answer will probably explain why techs aren't taking an hour to pretty-up a repair that nobody will hardly ever see.

I'm not sure of the factory-supplied blacktop batteries, but when the F150's started showing up with auto start-stop their replacement Motorcraft equivalent was almost always AGM. The line has changed a bit the last couple years but yea, big heavy AGM batteries so it's not a super-new thing for...

I was in the middle of teaching a class when I got the email and almost shat. Changed this order from Hybrid to Ecoboost in hopes of getting the truck first week of January. ⏰ Time email was received (11:17 Am EST) 📅 Your scheduled build week: March 27 🔢 the serial number part of your VIN...

reason #4,386 why I do not miss Ford warranty work. At all...

Also due another 45 day email today. We'll see I guess...
