96+ hood latch

[Joe 5.0]

I am wanting to buy a billet grille so I guess I am going to need to change my hood latch to the 96+ style. I thought there was a recall for this, so will the dealership do it for free? If n ot is it worth the $$, and is it any stronger attachment than ours stock?

I've never heard of that recall, but some grills like the aftermarket '96 style honeycomb grill come with the a '96 latch. I don't think it should be difficult for you to do the latch swap in your driveway if there isn't a recall. If you still want Ford to do it if there's no recall I don't think it'll be that expensive. Whether or not the mod is worth it depends on your priorities for your car.
