Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE, OF THE SAME PARTS. THESE STUDS FAILED IN FEBRUARY OF 2001. THIS IS NOT EXACTLY 12/12,000 FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR, BUT IT IS PRETTY DARN CLOSE. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH MY CREDIT UNION, THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE I ADDED TWO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS TO THE ENGINE. FORD SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT THEY KEEP STEPPING AROUND IS THE FACT THAT THIS SAME FAILURE HAPPENED A YEAR AGO, BEFORE I MADE ANY MODIFICATIONS. THE ENGINE WAS STILL STOCK.*AK
