I had my car taken into a local Ford dealer to replace the factory smooth pulleys. The car has been modified and as a result the paint was the first to go on the factory pulleys. So they started to rust...and well my sounded like a wagon.
I ordered a full set of billet flow pulleys to go with my current red 3.1 upper and 6lb lower. I took it to Ford thinking "oh hour and half no biggie...just simple bolt on replacement" How wrong I was.
After 4 days I got my car back. The noise at idol now gone...I was happy that I finally got my car back. During the cars stay they "lost my original pulleys, broke a belt and went shopping for another 92mm pulley to replace the one they lost".
I took possession and the car sounded ok....I took it out and well..it started getting worse....I could hear a metallic sound coming from the engine increasing with RPM's. At idol its nearly inaudible.
So I did not hear it that much coming home Thursday. Friday I wanted to take it into the deal again but I was advised not too... I need to get this car in somewhere can checked out A.S.A.P.
I wondering if they could have F'ed my SuperBearings or something worse...I have no idea why it took them 4 days to do the job.
