I'm confident you aren't going to screw your dealer over. If you do get a warranty, verify what they're selling you is what it is. Lots of places have an in-house plant that has tons of conditions, try to pass off plans that aren't Ford Protect and/or try to tag on a bunch of additional...

Does the rear door lock or easy access work when the handle is touched?

Is the wiper, washer jet, hinge covers and wiring all there? Tinted glass? Where in KY are you? We have routes running to Louisville, Henderson, Owensboro, Bowling Green, Madisonville and can deliver parts if needed. Side glass will need to be urethaned in but the new glass has the alignment...

They may need to clear codes after the recall but the box we plug in programs the motor directly. Should not mess up any of your settings.

Not understanding which bolts/nuts exactly. One of these?

I don't have the time or energy but some supplier should come up with an aluminum reinforcement/replacement for this joint that overlays on top. Ford eats enough of these it might force them to sell them individually.

I would ask the dealer what specific reason are they denying the claim. Ford does not make this determination unless it's a very odd case with a denial and a FSE involved. Dealer is probably worried about getting charged back since this falls in the "grey area" . Most of the time "broken" is...

Just looked at locator and these dealers show some available.

I would lean to being covered as long as nothing is bent and no visible damage. That elbow is complete junk cast aluminum. When you do replace, since you've swapped tops, make damn certain there isn't any tension on it when latching.

I would not switch between the fuse and controller (violet-green) due to the current. Go for the low current side (green-violet or yellow-violet).

The rear bow is available by itself, don't need to replace the whole frame. M2DZ-7851501-C has a list price of $1,710.42. Looking in DOW, there aren't any available and no remarks in the system. as to what the issue is. Usually they will say supplier issue or have an off-backorder tentative...

Which engine, what year?

IIRC the 2015 F150 used a 7000 series aluminum and was virtually impossible to repair due to work hardening from dings/dents/hail/other impact. Ford forced us to buy a ton of body repair equipment to work on these including setting aside a space that was walled or curtained off to do the...
