Visiting the KC truck plant
I am a supplier for Ford, so I will be visiting the plant for a few hours on Wednesday. I'm not sure who I would be able to talk to, but if you would like post any questions you have. I for sure will be asking about the vibration problem, as I have it.

Sorry, cameras are a big no, no in the plants, I might steal some secret. They would let me in with a bomb before a camera.

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if they would let me load up some audiophile parts for mine too.

Sorry, I waw stuck in a GM plant for all of my trip to KC. I was there to do a trade show at the Malibu assembly plant, and did not have enough time to tour the F-150 assembly. I am returning in late June, so I will post this again if there are questions you want asked.
I did see a Malibu dropped from an overhead assembly line
