Nope, no immunity from the shortages. Toyota cutting production 40%.No chips no chips no chips...i imagine everyone but TOYOTA ....which stockpiled chips just in case such a chip shortage will have crappy numbers this summer
Well damn..Then I apologize for being a smart ass.If only my parents had loved me. As you can tell, despite Ford's best efforts and despite the fact that my F-150 is about to spew a timing chain, I am having a good day. The timing chain is going to require significant time and frustration to replace in the Texas heat (provided I can limp it 350 miles to San Angelo to do the work), sounds like a box of rocks flailing away under the valve cover with tell-tell squealing from the phasers.
I am worried that it may die enroute, at which point the motor would be junk, but I have no other options. Then I'll have to put Ol' Yeller down at 234k miles.
You’re right, they will spin it. Not even close to the real competition they tried to benchmark though:They will spin it but it was better then GM / Fiat...

Thanks, no apology needed, you didn't know that I was in that situation. Worse yet I really couldn't have been predicted or easily prevented it (there was little warning that the timing chain needed replacement until just a few weeks ago).Well damn..Then I apologize for being a smart ass.
I hate that people like you and others are in a tight spot that could have been fixed by simply releasing Broncos from Dirt Mountain.
I do really hope things work out for you
It’s so weird that Ford stock is better then it was pre pandemic with all this Chinese issues. As Covid first hit it went down to the 4’s I watched it but was in a different commodity.Automotive stocks are a short term nightmare IMO... I'd get out now, buy back in a quarter or two. I think long term the rebound is inevitable.
Ok, you were right, it wasn't 3,000, it was 4,000.There's only a few hundred produced and delivered Broncos with MIC, not 3000, according to premierdrum.
Does that change the computations at all?
