All were from on line purchases. Due to the quick action of one of Nordstrom's agents in alerting me my bank only had to absorb about $250. I'm not even one of Nordstrom's customers. I don't think it was compromised in the sending of data over the secure ordering system but probably by an internal employee of someone I had done business with. They have all been alerted. So now I am not using my debit card but a regular credit card for ordering. Lucky my debit card had a low daily max.

There are 2 different stant models, one for the oe cap with an orange o-ring (white bottom cap) & the 2nd model is a black cap (oe also). You need to check your cap first & figure out which one/model you need. I put the stant in monday, and no problems as of yet. Ive ran stant in my old tahoe, but the cap fell apart (locking one also), So I was kind of weary to use stant again. BUT, between 15 bucks & 50 bucks, its a no brainer. Sad to say, gas up here is 3.34 a gallon on average.

I called the guys at Fpo
Told them what kind of truck and they showed 1 with the old part number of
4L3Z9K163AA
they said they had 1 in stock but he then called the motorcraft vendor or whatever and they gave him a new part number of
6L3Z9030AA
Both showed a price of 26.64 plus shipping i think he said it was like 6 or 7 shipping and should ship tomorrow. So I won't know 100% until I get it if it's the right one. I figure if he looked it up for my truck it should be the right one. I'll take pics of it when I get it and let you all know what the deal is.

Jeez guys just go to Wal-Mart and get you a Stant PN# 11501 for 8-12 bucks depending on where you live....I think they're 9 something here but they've been out for about a week, book says it'll work i'll find out soon as they get them in. 50 bucks for a gas cap is (no offense to the owner) ********** crazy.

just thought I would share this with all! I was going to get a locking cap for my truck until I found out in our local area, since everyone was buying these the thiefs just went one step further! There has been many reports that vehicles with the locking caps where getting there tanks punctured with a ice pick or screw driver, just pop a hole in it slide a container under and wait till it fills up and come back! Not are they only getting as much as their container can hold, but the rest of your gas runs onto the ground, and if that isnt bad enough, you still have to have the tank repaired or replaced!! I would rather they just take the 10 or 20 gals! Just something to consider, Im sure it wont take long for this to spread, it is probably already happening in other areas as well.
