Venturi Mod and Oasis Report

I brought my F250 6.4 in for routine service last week along with the letter from FOMOCO about the front seat inspection. The service writer stated that Oasis was showing that the truck needed a venturi mod also. I stated that I had done this mod myself back in June as a precaution to prevent the radiator from blowing out on a long trip. He said OK and when I picked up the truck my reciept showed that the seat inspection had been cleared but not the radiator mod. The service person stated that the tech refused to clear the venturi mod because he didn't do the work. Lucky my son is a Ford tech up in NY and he fudged it with oasis. My concern was that if the Radiator blew Oasis would show the job wasn't done and the warranty would not pay for it. I know many owners have done the same thing with their trucks. Better make sure the records show it WAS done

Great advice! Take it from someone who has had to rely on warranty. I finally got my truck back after 2+ months in service dept. The service manager told me that my repairs would have come to greater than $16,000 if not covered by warranty!

To this date I haven't recieved a letter for the venturi kit, mine is a Job 1. I installed a venturi kit myself about 2 months ago.If I do get a notice and take it in and they tell me they won't sign off on it , then I will tell them to go ahead and install another that the letter addresses.

The venturi FSA now has updated information; I think they put the letters on hold with the flash freeze or hold.

Anyway the venturi FSA now has this text flagged as update.

<B>"Program Extension: </B>
The expiration date for Customer Satisfaction Program 08B06 has been extended through June 30, 2009. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of this extension

via mail starting the week of December 15, 2008."

There are three new TSB's for module reprogramming or flash so I would think since they are planning on letters by the 15th. and have these new TSB's that they will also release the hold for the new module flash too.

oasis report on my new truck question

so I just bought this 250 PSD last week and got an oasis report today.
amazing what u find on the internet.

my oasis report has 3 out standing field service actions.

08c04 fuel tanks stopper bracket
08B07 pcm and instrument cluster reprogram might be necessary for this truc
08B06 venturi tee installation.

so I take it i have to take it back to the service department to fix these issues??
anything I should worry about if a wait a few weeks on this???

2008 PSD 250 FX 4x4

never mind answered my own ? with a call to service department. U would think they would have done this before I bought the truck . oh well!!!!

thanks
