I've had a horrible experience myself, and it actually was at the Ford dealer parts store locally. I walked in, and I asked the guy, if they have an adapter for the fuel pressure check port a the upper fuel filter, so I could hook up my fuel pressure gauge. He looked up in the computer ( by year and everything ) , and I could see on hes face that he has no idea what he is looking for. Finally he turned the monitor a little towards to me, and pointed to the ICP sensor for me. " Is this it?" At least he asked, before he sold it to me. "No, it's at the fuel filter." - I answered. Searching, looking, and he pointed again - to the IPR. What the f***? - I tought. Forget to mention, that at the first time I was there - close to 3 years ago, the guy already was there - so he's not a rookie.
So I've had to help him out some, and WE looked for it, and finally I've got the answer - that " We don't have it" ...... Be careful even at the dealer. You'd think, that they know....

The women behind the counter at my local dealer (Probably in her mid 30's ish) absolutely blind sided me when we started talking about the 6.0 and she knew WWWAAAYYYY more than I could ever know. That was kinda sexy, but my wife cooks a mean BBQ ribs.. Win some lose some I guess.
