HEY! So I see your a Senior Ford Guy. Will you tell Ford something for me please. I did some driving lights over the last 2 days. One day, 8 - 10 hours fabricating mounts by hand and drilling here and there and on and off with it and fiting here and there.

Then today I go to do the Shunted wire thing. OH MY GAWD! Why THE HELL didn't Ford just put some single plugs on the wires and let you plug them in instead of making you TRY and get your hands in and under and then trying to splice wires and solder and GAWD! Then one set of lights didn't work and I freaked. Pulled all the dash apart and stripped off the heat shrink to find I had done it correct! SHIT! I had put a fuse in line for the ops check and it was only a 1 amp fuse. DOH! HAhahaaaaaa. All for NOT!

So please ask ford to spend $10 more bucks in Mexico on each truck and have a few plugs added to the wiring harness please! HAhahaaaaaa. Vent! Rant! HAHahaaaaaaa. Still better than some of the wiring I have done in the past though.......

BDRAG

OR at least a few more inches on the DAMN wires would have helped.

2010 5.4 (purchased October 2009)

29,000 miles

1) Crushed skid plate (replacing with ADD set up very soon)

2) Catalytic converter rattled itself apart and clogged my exhaust, causing back pressure to build up and my engine to run poorly. Warranty covered it and had my raptor back in a week.

3) Condensation in my driver side headlight. This just happened so I will be taking it in soon.

My issue was just a wire unplugged from firewall, 5min fix. My sync is acting loopy at the moment...when I ask for phone, call, whoever it gives me some off the wall crap like climate or destination??????

Exactly the same...


And did I say ... Sync issue?

How is it possible for a Company like Ford to install such an unfinished POS in production car? More than the Clunk, being forced to hold my phone in a $50000 truck makes me mad .
