Tony302600 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ford still hasn't said that head studs are a fix right? A dodge tech told me that Ford is giving head studs whenever you guys have to do head gaskets. I told him he was VERY mis-informed. Nothing changed since i left right?

Bed plate gaskets, roller lifters,and lower radiator hoses.Also the labor times should read 0.7 to 7.0 hours less than it will actually take you to do all repairs.

Bruce Amacker Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 and the names of the streets where you road tested the vehicle. This is fucking funny- with GPS technology these days they could bust you on this. Rental car companies tear people a new ass with GPS's, 'cause some rental contracts don't allow you to leave the state or drive over 85MPH.

Bed plate reseal is an unnecessary repair, as replacement of the engine block has been performed. CLAIM DENIED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
