HAhahaaaa.
UPDATE 12/12/15.....
Went in and had the TSB done. Service writer calls me over and tells me the TSB is the issue and that its going to cost me $280.00 plus tax and essentials. I looked him in the eye and said, EXCUSE ME? I asked him, you mean I pay for Fords screw up? Fords lack of proper engineering? Are you serious? I said ok then fine. I have the extended warrantee. How much now? He fiddles around and finds some ******** short cut and says my deductible will cover it since we are doing it under a powertrain issue and not electrical. OH Really? Fine, just fix the shit. So I sit around and BS with a few sales guys and service guy. Trucks ready and I go home.
Once home I decide to do what ANY prudent customer of a ford dealer SHOULD DO after a service is preformed by A FORD DEALER, I pop the hood and look around to see what they did or in this case DID NOT DO!
I can see right off that the tech has had to cut loose about 3 or 4 loom attachment points from the wiring harness so he can flip the fuse box over and preform the TSB. Why do I know this? BECAUSE THE LAZY SHIT BAG did not re secure ANY of the factory loom attach points. He cut the factory tape and just left all the wire harnesses laying where they were but un secured. One rubbing the bottom side of the upper radiator hose and on the driver side of the fuse box where all the wires go in under the fuse box the wires are unrestrained and rubbing against the sharp edges of the lower fuse box. The big bundle of wire running in front of the fuse box had been wrenched up and away from its pop in restraint hole and not forced back down in even though that restraint was not cut away from the loom. SHIT! WTF?????
So I dive into my fixit crap and grab tie wraps and such. I am about to re attach all the points the tech decided to leave loose. Then I just started to get mad. So I decide screw this and headed back to the dealer.
Once back I try to find my writer but he is no where. So I see a guy hanging around, he opened the place. I asked if the service manager was around. He said, I can help. I asked, are you the service manager because I want to show you what kind of work your HACK ASS tech does. Well sir please. No! Come look at this half assed job. So we go look and he is saying well ummmm. I said look, Its bad enough I have to PAY for a ford issue that should be a re call but to have a HACK get lazy and leave shit half done is not right! He says give me 15 minutes.....
They bring the truck around and I pop the hood. Now its like I expected. Black electrical tape half assed installed at the cut tape points. Its EXACTLY like one would expect from a ford dealer. If I had seen this when I got home the first time I would not be mad and I would do just what I did anyway and that's tie wrap the shit up and finish a half assed job instead of having to fix and HACK job.
So to sum it up. As usual, FORD DEALERS SERVICE DEPATMENTS SUCK! There is no supervision or sense of doing things better than they were before they work on shit. Get it in and out regardless if its done 100% correct. Charge the customer EVEN if its Fords Screw up and Ford produces the fix which is not even in stock at most dealers due to demand. Kinda reminds one of a GM ignition issue cover up? Maybe?
So anyway, order the fix kit. Do the work yourself and save the $300 plus bucks the Stealer will try and charge you. It looks like a 1 hour job even if you take the time to do it right.
