FTE Forum Strength

Spoke with the Truck Service Manager @ Prestige Ford In Garland, TX yesterday via landline to discuss possible A/C issue. He immediately started with Ford spec conditions being rated at idle etc. and was enroute to blowing me off.

He then stated to bring it in and they would test @ idle (approx. 800 RPM) with temp gauge in the tunnel. I told him I had a gauge in the tunnel for the last two weeks and the told him the variance.

Still not much respect until I mentioned that I had ton of info regarding fixes and Ford bullitens from FTE Forum.

Man...it was like night turning into day...all of a sudden I had some distinct level of intelligence and we became best buds. He can't wait for me to bring it in and probably increase fan engagement. Hallelujah!

Strength in numbers and information!

FYI: For DFW folks...I asked how many certified diesel mechanics they have on staff. (4) now with (2) more to be certified by the end of June.

In addition, I have had my last (5) Ford gassers serviced there with good results, even though most of my deals came from other local dealerships.
