    why are Ford dealers so stupid??

    ford stopped reimbursing a couple years ago i think. and you need to have your receipt for labor. btw, i just called ford, and the representative said that the program ended in march '06, so any coverage beyond that point would be void. the letter to the dealers was dated december '05, so...

    why are Ford dealers so stupid??

    yeah, i understand im not a great customer since i do all my own work, and im sure they were pissed about my mods anyway, but 4 days past the warranty is just stupid. Ford messed up by putting a low quality part on their vehicles, and only giving 7 years is not a whole lot anyway. the part...

    Getting screwed for an A/C repair.... advice needed THEY ARE HOLDING MY CAR

    my guess is that the "technician" took a guess and ordered a part, thinking it would fix the problem. when it didnt, he tried to cover his @$$ by telling you he "fried the PCM", when really he had to order another part to fix the problem. that sounds more logical to me. ive seen it before...

    fluid swaps?

    Replaced A/C clutch, but it wont engage

    i would try to figure out now why you dont have power to your compressor. maybe a critter got in there and started chewing wires, ive seen it a hundred times. maybe check your fuse again. im not sure on fords, but on hondas there may be a couple fuses for the whole A/C system between the...

    bleeding brakes

    if thats all you do is disconnect the brake lines to replaced calipers, you dont NEED to bleed the brakes. theoretically, air wont enter the system unless you pump the brake pedal. when i swapped calipers, i didnt bleed the system and it was fine
