I think I'm getting a new shifter
 
I was leaving the hardware store toady, and when I went to shift into reverse the little chrome cap that goes on the shifter fell off. I grab the shifter by the top more than around so I think that has something to do with it. I called up my dealer and said I just need the cap and they said they just don't have the cap so they need to replace my whole shifter. Seem's kind of wasteful for a .50 cent piece of plastic. I feel bad for you guys that are out of warrenty and this happens to you.

That happened to my 05 a couple of months ago. the cool part is they replace it with a new updated shifter. The button works much smoother! :D

maybe a dab of super glue or epoxy to the bottom? night save you some cash and headaches.

Just got back from the dealership. Took about 45min. While I was there I walked the lot and checked out all the new Super Duty's :drool: They also quoted me $350 a piece for the new side view mirrors.

Evertime I go there I return the truk to stock on the edge. It makes me appreciate it when I don't have it.

they should be able to work with you on the price of the mirrors. i bought mine from my dealer and i got them for $240 each. they make commission on sat's when they work so i bought them from one guy and he was able to work the price down and make the extra commission. worked out for both of us!!!!:thumbsup:

Are you talking about the new towing mirrors? On the 07? Those would look good on a lifted rig :drool: I want some.......

Yeah the one's on the 07. Once mine is lifted I think I might get them. I'd get a better view and towing my trailer would be easier.
