I know on my 2000 the hub, bearings, and abs senor are all built into one unit.
rizzjc said:I don't think Ford is selling 8 year extended service plans. So, he would paid them $1500 for that, and STILL gotten the same quote for this work, 8 years later. Not trying to put down everyone who believes in ESP's, but unless you get really "lucky" and have to have some major service done, only a small percentage of people will EVER get their money back out of an ESP. Besides, I'm sure a "brake cable" would be in the fine print of what is NOT covered.
Sorry for the rant. Just something I am strongly against, and hate to see 99.9% of people wasting their money.
Now back to the issue of the stealership .....
Can you tell us what the diagnostics was? You paid $111.70 for them to store your truck or did they give you a detailed description of what is wrong?
the cable being seized up makes no sense, the cable is pulled from one end (foot pedal) and then pulls on the arm on the back of the E brake. Is it the arm on the e brake that is frozen? the cable only pulls it does not slide inside a sheath/conduit. There is nothing to lube.
a cracking noise when coming to a stop? this is a new one on me. Do the brakes work? Is the noise from the front? is the ABS light on still?
I'm not sure what cable you need but I went to NAPA Prolink (you have to be a dealer to see pricing on line) but the most expensive cable on there was $55.00
