Question TSB information needed

Is anyone willing to help me out with information on a few TSB's regarding my 1999 Ford Ranger? Also, if I take my truck to the dealer regarding these TSB's, will they repair it free of charge?

TSB #
02138
0282
14289
021010

Also, if I bought this truck after the date of the TSB, would that neccessarily mean that the issue is fixed in my truck by the dealer before they sold it?

Thanks!

If it is still under warranty and you are having the problems listed in the TSB then yes they usually fix it for free. If you are out of warranty then no they will not fix it for free.

Also, if I bought this truck after the date of the TSB, would that neccessarily mean that the issue is fixed in my truck by the dealer before they sold it?

NO

Thanks!

This may seem like a stupid question, but exactly what purpose do the TSB's serve? There are quite a few related to my 98 Ranger. I bought the truck last May with an aftermarket warranty, so probably nothing is covered anyway. Seems to me like the TSB's are just a list of 'complaints' but I'm sure they've got to serve another purpose. What can the dealer to for me if I go to them with the TSB numbers?

0255
01212
15226
011111
0146

These are just a few of them. Is there more info I can get from the dealership? Thanks,

TSBs really tell the dealer how to fix a common problem. If you would like to see what they are about check out the link on the righthand side of the page. If you still need more information let me know I will look a few of them up for you and tell you more details.
