Not at every dealership but that is definitely starting to happen at a lot of them, $2 is 2-3 minutes of my time so if I spend let's say 10 minutes with an owner that's at least $10 out of my pocket it adds up quickly I'd love to paid by the hour but that will never happen at a dealership in my...

If I was paid hourly I'd gladly chat with customers but under the current system of flat rate it costs me $$ to do that, it's the service advisor job to do that not mine and whether you believe it or not I do care about the customers and vehicles I work on, my $.02 I'm done.

You might want to check but I lifted a lot of those for the dealership I worked for in New Mexico and you had to cut a section of the frame/crossmember off to install the drop-down bracket for the differential drop. New lift no cutting required Readylift - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford...

Yea I was wondering about the quality as well but the company selling them is well known, been around for 25 plus years.

Ran across this kit on Ebay. 1990 - 2001 Ford 4.0 Rocker Arms Push Rods Ranger Mazda OHV TEK244 MR927 MPR471 | eBay

My current 92' is regeared but a 2-3" lift will give you this look.

I actually just posted a question on OHV heads on the stock side, found a great deal on OEM Ford 93TM heads on Ebay and since mines not a daily drive, has an upgraded cooling system I'm going to just run those. As a Ford technician for over 33+ years I've seen some cracked heads over the years...

The 93' and up cylinder heads are good castings, these are the 93TM versions it's the 92' and older that had the real bad issues. My old Green 93' explorer is still on the road with over 300k on the original engine it's had the lower intake resealed once and that all that's ever been down the...

This is the tow behind for my Class A motorhome so the drivetrain is staying mostly stock, even though the rest is fairly well built. Gen 1 version 2.0 build

I was going to ask here for recommended vendors for new 4.0L cylinder heads and came across these on Ebay, seems like a great deal!! Any other vendors you folks have used?? Set of New 4.0 Ford Ranger Cylinder Heads 1990 - 1994 Casting Number 93TM | eBay

Then call out that dealership! As a dealership technician I'm constantly fixing work that was done or claimed to be indy shops, and yes I do fix screw ups done by other dealerships also. The ranks of senior technicians is shrinking fast the term "techagedon" is being used within 10 years there...

Yea really great of you guys to characterize all dealerships as being "Stealerships" as a Ford technician with 33+ years of experience I really hate that term, I'll bookmark this thread and remember the comments and make sure this "Stealership" technician avoids chiming in with help next time...

Only 2.0 for me :) same on the cheap glasses I have pairs of them all over the place I even have my wife carry a very small pair for me in her purse in case I forget mine.

YE=yellow, BU-WH=blue with a white trace, VT-OG= violet with an orange trace, after 33 years as a Ford technician you learn these things :) the problem is Ford is using a lot 22-gauge wires now a days and it's getting tough for my 60-year-old eyes to see the trace colors!!

I have one from a working transfer case I'm getting ready to throw in the metal dumpster, yours for the price of shipping if you want it.

All the recall involved was putting a small jumper harness between the switch on the master cylinder and the plug that goes into the switch. The issue was that they would leak fluid into the wiring harness, and it would creep through the harness, get hot and catch fire. The power wire going to...

I think they are re-recalling all of the prior ones if you PM me your vin# I can run it and see if the recall is still open.

I've done a bunch of that recall but don't have any pictures. The technician will drill two small holes in each corner of the roof rack (on the inner surface) and install small fasteners that have about a 3/4" head on them, the recall works great and IMHO opinion it's how they should have been...

There's a TSB that covers that concern, a dealership should be able to help you by doing an update. One of the first listed concerns is Sirus not functioning after a key cycle the TSB# is 21-2411

Try being 60 years old and working on them for a living!! I end up pulling the driver's seat out a lot of times to work under the dash.

One of the first steps as a technician working on a vehicle is to duplicate the concern, if they can't duplicate the concern and it didn't set any codes it's very hard to do anything unless there is a service message or a service bulletin on the concern and that doesn't always help either.

Would love to make it!! I used to wheel down there quite a bit and went down yearly for the Arizona Classic bronco Stampede, the last 5-6 years I went it was based out in Table Mesa.

There is a module it's behind the center stack, the FICM communicates with it to control the heaters so you should be able to ohm out the wiring between the module and the seat heating pads, when you get to the module make sure none of the plugs have been hot also.

I'm a Ford technician and we use this stuff once we repair the wiring and I've only ever seen one come back after being wrapped with the tape and it just had two little chew marks on it that pierced the wiring. I've been a technician for over 30 years and have been repairing rodent damage for...

Cost seems inline to me, don't really know what to tell you at this point maybe pull thge seat out and make sure the shop got everything plugged back in correctly?
