Consumer Description

I REALIZE THAT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE HEAD GASKET. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY TO COVER THE TIMING COVER GASKET AS WELL. I CALLED A NUMBER OF DEALERS. THE OVERALL IMPRESSION I GOT WAS THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE 3.8 LITER ENGINES WITH LEAKING TIMING COVER GASKETS. WHICH COMES FIRST? THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR THE FAILED TIMING COVER GASKET. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO LAST 12000-15000 MILES. IT TOOK THE DEALER 6 MONTHS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE LAST ONE THAT WENT BAD. *AK
