Aaron Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I just posted something about starter speed and used the word "rate" in my post. That a bad word? Does anyone know what all the key words are on the PTS site so i can intentionally misspell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I know of... stupid, bonus, performance, and ofcourse the 7 works you can't say on TV... but there are more... Jim and Dwayne wrote the list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Seems like almost any thing I say is on the "list".... sometimes.. Spelling mistakes help, sometimes.... In "P1211 nightmare", Andy wrote a post that was taken under review... I had him back up one screen and change the spelling of some words... spelling mistakes but the intent was still evident - passed with flying colours. But don't anyone listen to Alex... it's not like I'm a shitdisturber or anything..... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Rate is really bad. Flat rate, warranty rate, repair rate, customers being I-rate. Flat is also really bad: Flat rate, cylinder head Flatness couldn't possibly be out of specs and Mother FoMoCo couldn't possibly choke down the idea of falling "flat" on her face after going Bankrupt because of the warranty repair rate on the Sick-0. These are all things that Mother FoMoCo just doesn't want to here. Diesel is also really bad because it has the word "DIE" in it. And Mother FoMoCo doesn't want to hear about how much the Sick-0 "DIES". What if an ambulance didn't make it to the hospital on time because it died and then the patient died? Oh no, Mother FoMoCo couldn't possibly fathem something like that. Mother FoMoCo has given birth to her prize little Nazi sensorbot and shut her ears to all of us cussing little bastards who have become totally I-rate and pissed off at the Flat rate SLTS times, slashed warranty rates, shitty reman parts, kicked back R.O's, and every other sickening political condemnation that she has pumped down all of our throats. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif I learnt it all from Alex. Honest. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Sounds lie you guys north of the border have it a little rougher than we do but it's not all rosy in the FMC Dealer message boards either. There seems to be a lot of censorship there too. The irony is that these are all things that the Mothership really needs pay attention to.

Jim Warman Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Kieth, I'm told over and over that Canada accounts for about 10% of Fords <something>... production? ... sales?.... profits?.... I can no longer remember.... We are small potatoes.... and small potatoes we will remain. We are subject to the same shrinking SLSTs that you guys see (well, not ME anymore... but I am paying a "debt" that flat raters wouldn't want). Given that many failures are generated by demographic and/or climatic influences, we can see stuff that many US based techs don't (and it works the other way - to a point - too). At the same time, we are treated like the bastard redheaded step child (well, I am - or used to be - a redhead.... and I can sure be a bastard some days) that Ford refuses to acknowledge but must bear responsibility for. FQRs are the responsibilty of the lowest bidder. We can be sent on fools errands.... "try this" - "try that"... and Ford will never admit that their rebuilder is churning out substandard assemblies and that they are charging mark-up that doesn't reflect the quality of the piece. This may be something you US guys might be feeling too. No UMT Challenge for us.... no cruise (no shrimp dip either) for us... we're not even allowed to call ourselve "Senior Master". Instead, we get a DoM suggesting that disconnecting EGR valves is a viable repair alternative and will reduce our warranty rate... this will make him look good and he will treat us accordingly. I have no idea where this !@#!?$! wound up... but I hope it's unpleasant We're the wierd people up north.... Our dollar is worth more that the US dollar.... but a diesel truck with a small load of toys costs us $20G more the equivalent truck south of the border. We all carry a lot of the same burdens.. but we aren't exactly equal... FWIW... there is a "Canadian attitude" that has us face many concerns differently from what (dare I say) "most" US citizens might. When I go to Stars2, I see a pretty hefty list of countries served from this one gateway.... Ford has seen fit to keep us from talking to each other.... Thankfully, Kieth has seen fit to allow it.

Tony302600 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 At least once a week on the Ford Message Boards...some1 forgets to log off then someone sees that and types in "im coming out of the closet, im a homosexual" etc etc etc etc. It's funny, nut sad at the same time. N E one else see those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Never saw that but I did once see the address to this web site posted. (not by me) it lasted a day or two before it got yanked. Remember kids, no links allowed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What we can't even try to post our link? Why not it might get through so that some would see the truth, not what Mother FoMoCo sensors have not to say. Oh for instance, I am being nice(what a P.O.S the sick-o is on our side of the engine)I'm glad that Navistar hasn't had the same problems that we have had but I would like to tell Mother differently. Lets face it to much power, to much torque is shaking these engines apart. The same ones that are underpowered from Navistar don't have the cracking problems on some of the parts that we do. Shall I remind you of the branch tubes. What rocket scientist designed these for the Ford application? Okay guys I'm going to open it up again... How about a Cat. or a Cummins, oh hell(sorry Keith this is a four letter word but so is Ford) how about a Benz powered F-series... It might give Navistar something to think about, with all the problems that we are having with these trucks. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif Oh shit(sorry Keith) Jim I almost forgot about you guys to the North. You all are very important to all of us(NOT SMALL POTATOES) what would we do without you??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Tony... with almost the same regularity, we are treated to the same on our message board... With very few exceptions, none are even remotely humourous (but, I didn't get to a curmudgeon without working at it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Larry, we're all in the same trenches (it's just that Ford gives shrimp dip to the guys in the southern end of the trenches /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif ).... Let's not forget it is already almost 2008.... and we will (all too soon) probably see a Ford powered diesel F-series.... While engines appear to be gaining in longevity, their resistance to even minor amounts of abuse seems to be shrinking and the assembly technology seems to be getting harder to deal with. I've purchased more torque wrenches in the last five years than I bought in my entire career before that. FWIW, I've gotten this URL on to the ProTech message board in Canada several times.... never checked to see if they're still there, though...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm glad that you have gotten your URL through and look forward to trying to find it.. By the way North/South it don't matter the last time I looked I still pull my pants up, how about you? No Dip here unless I buy it!! Hey supposed old dude(curmugeon) I researched and found out that the "curmugeon" is a CRUSTY CANTANKEROUS OLD PERSON FULL OF STUBBORNS IDEAS. I DON'T PERSONALLY SEE THAT What now??? Oh yeah Ford powered, or powered from England, another country wanting to get their hands on us like Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hey Jim? Have you noticed that I loosened up the DTS cuss word list a little? I still expect a little decency from you guys though. I just don't think foul language is necessary and doesn't look good on most people. No cussin unless you REALLY MEAN IT! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/readthis.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Just in case you guys are curious, I did remove some words from the censor list but theres still quite a few I insist that you not use.
