I stand corrected, Sumitomo. https://www.tti.com/content/ttiinc/en/apps/part-detail.html?partsNumber=6189-7675-B&mfgShortname=SUM

I can usually figure out who the supplier is but Ford started using some Western Diversified Products connectors on the bronco and most of is captive and not available outside Ford. Just assuming it's WDP, could also be some hybrid TE, Molex, Yazaki or AMP too. If a guy has a magnifying glass...

How long have you had it? Has it rained recently? Was it standing water, condensate, just damp carpet? Need more info...... If rained recently and no leaks or drips noticed hanging from trim, it might be one of the windshield header drains is disconnected and dumping water down the A-pillar...

I appreciate that. It's not as much of an imposition as some may believe. Even though I oversee our fixed ops, it's not as time consuming as if I were at the desk taking care of customers. Got all of this info sitting in front of me all day so copy and pasting or pulling part numbers for...

Since the part number didn't change, someone would really need to know the date the new style went into service and try to find a part with an earlier date marking (should be printed on the part sticker attached to the hinge or box). I don't have any in stock to check so the easiest thing would...

The hinge thing isn't the dealer's fault, it's appears to be a change from the supplier to Ford. Couple possibilities, the warehouse opens a bunch of boxes to try and find the older style (highly unlikely), find one at another dealer who will open package to confirm the old style or fill and...

I don't opine much on political matters but our city is doing a bunch of stupid shit, assessed property values going through the roof and now talking about instituting new income taxes. My city council rep won't bother acknowledging 2 emails I sent to him so it's about on.

Not bitter at all however I would expect the workmanship/assembly quality to increase with compensation. Why would anyone think it's a good deal to pay more and get nothing in return? That wasn't directed at you specifically rather at the organization that represents the workers who aren't...

Based on the upper and lower hinge price difference my guess is there was a supplier change (part numbers did not supersede) or the equipment used to cast/forge/machine the straps was changed. Here's my rattle spiel. Now that you've heard it, you will never unhear it or be satisfied unless...

Let us know what the supplement is after the job is finished. I assume if they made an estimate there were frame measurements done and it wasn't bent?

Wash is part of it but it's supposed to go through a mechanical inspection by someone that's taken the PDI training. In our case it's a technician in a department that just does new and used then heads to cleanup. Ford reimburses the dealer about an hour of labor to do the inspection, install...

That's why Ford is #1 in recalls and spends a couple billion more in warranty expenses than the next closest manufacturer. The other thing that's true is throwing a ton more $$ at the line workers proves there's no more shits given about what they're building. This is true across all Ford and...

I put this on my '22 non-sas and now on the '23 SAS and went to 37"s. Should not matter sas or not as the hinges and reinforcement will work on any gate. The caveat is a corner of the carrier will have to be nipped to clear the reinforcement. Not a big deal and won't be seen after everything...

How much is vehicle being driven? Length of typical drive both time and miles? Could be situation it isn't being driven enough to keep the battery at full charge between drives or trips are too short. If nothing else is found and vehicle sits for days at a time, I'd put a trickle charger on...

Ahh, missed that. In that case, 100% oversight and workmanship. I'd give the dealer the chance to correct, if possible, because sure as shit you pull the motor something stupid like glass crack or studs pull off and relieves them of all responsibility.

AITA..... If they replaced the cap shell it wouldn't be necessary to pull the motor off the glass. Not saying they didn't just as a matter of caution but all that was needed is unhood wiring to motor, heater grid, washer jet and unbolt at the top hinges. Not excusing it not being caught but...

If you replace the frame the entire drivetrain, suspension, fuel system, wiring has to be swapped over which would get into a ton of time. Some of the guys on our dealer forum have been pulling bodies to do engines like we do on trucks to save backs and allow easier access. Can't remember what...

DM me a pic or the numbers.
