eastendpowerstroke Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Last week I replaced an oil cooler on an 2001 F-350.It was leaking externally from the front header, so I figured to be safe I got the header and orings. It's now back with oil mixing with the coolant, what I found drives the point of "just because it's new doesn't mean it's good. I never looked at it before assembly but it has a casting flaw right where the smaller oring seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I bet your new service manager jumped your shit over it, right? Is he screamin' back flag, charge back, or dockin' your pay for the part? I'm just breakin your balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpowerstroke Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 dude it's so fucking depressing here right now,I would be so much more excited to go work someplace where I got to murder puppies all day. One SA,(Denis) the one we all like because he can/will try to up sell and he knows all the customers and there family's and treats them like there coming into a the small town dealership we are, he is hated by Mr wonderful. The one we hate (Keith) because he's a douche , he LOVES him..... we are now calling him "mini me". If Chris told Keith to come in early Monday so he could give Chris a rim job, Keith would go home and start putting on chap stick so his lips were soft!!!!!!

eastendpowerstroke Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 BTW I got another new header in today and it's a bad as the first, the casting is VERY rough in the exact same spot as the first and its right where the O-ring sits.

Keith Browning Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Wow. And to think these things were on backorder. Imagine waiting a month to get one and this is what you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I feel your pain brother. The little black rain cloud can only hang over your dealer for so long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well how about FOUR OF THEM .my parts mang. ordered three more hoping to get one that didn't suck. I don't know if I'm being to fussy but I expect a new part to not be rough and flaky right where an oring is supposed to be sealing oil and coolant from meeting each other.
