New TSB for plug removal ???

Read on another site new TSB 08-1-9 ? Is this for real ? Notice no kroil being used, Why ? And recommends removal with cold engine now, not warm. Here is a link. http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/fad/tsb/0819.pdf

Interesting, thanks for the link.

Was there such a thing as Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner before? If not, I'm guessing it's re-badged Kroil. If so, some douche probably got all po'd about the previous TSB not recommending a Motorcraft product for the procedure and thus hurting their bottom line.

Thanks for the link. Interesting modification to TSB 06-16-2. Did you notice on page 4 that is states:

"Warranty Status:
Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And Emissions Warranty Coverage. Important: Warranty Limits/Policies Are Not Altered By A TSB. Warranty Coverage Are Determined By The Identified Causal Part."

How would you interpret that statement?

Dale

What that means, is a tsb doesn't extend warranty! It's information only.

Great find, thanks! The TSB implies that Ford did indeed change the heads, plugs or both as of 10-9-07.

My engine built date is 10-03-07.
Now tell me-how is that for luck? With luck like this I'm afraid to leave the house.

I guess I will need to get rid of my truck before 100000 miles.
