Dearborn vs. Kansas City Quality

Dearborn vs. Kansas City Quality
Hey guys, just thought I'd ask this question and get some feedback. My '05 Screw is in the shop again at just 5000 miles and this time will be out for awhile while they wait for new AC line---a problem that some of you have complained about. I've already been through the Cam Phaser problem and that was resolved. Anyway I've had 2 loaners from the dealer, both 5.4's XLT's and have noticed that the acceleration, braking etc in both of these is better (both have had between 3000 and 7000 miles) than my truck. I've had the PCM update etc. Both the loaners were KC trucks. After talking with a family relative who works for Ford in Dearborn no less, he hinted that the KC quality level is better. My truck is a Dearborn truck. Anyone out there have a lot of quality issues with Dearborn. I've been a Ford Truck driver my whole life and never had the problems with their stuff like this. I'm really starting to feel the need to change teams here....One more problem and this thing is out like yesterday's garbarge. The dealer has treated me well with the loaners and that is saving the game at this point!

Hey Chris, is your blower only noisy on one of the speed settings or all of them?
Mine is noisy only on setting #3.

Frankly, I could have bought it on line, and put it in (two minute job) cheaper than two trips to the dealership. On one, they found out that it really was the blower, Duh! Then they ordered the part. When they put it in, the dodo broke my fuse cover door. That only took six weeks and a pile of the wrong parts to fix.

My 04 Lariat SCab is Dearborn built and I have had no problems. A while back I thought the A/C was not doing it's job well but I have to say after this Texas summer kicked in, it is certainly up to the task. Probably just the power of suggestion with me thinking there was a problem. My rear window has been making a little noise and when I do the 15,000 mi service next month, I'll have that tended to. Otherwise, no problems and I would buy a Dearborn truck all over again.
