Thanks Matt, and yes I read Quintin's reply in your thread, but I recall him mentioning Ford switching to another injector in 05 which continued through to early build 06's.
That's why I'm wondering why I didn't get a letter.

Oh yeah, I also recall Stealth mentioning he received the letter in your thread.

Here's the post FX4life's referring to, I think.

VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS PROGRAM
Vehicle Line Model Years Assembly Plant Production Dates
F-150 2005 Dearborn Assembly Plant
F-150 2005 Norfolk Assembly Plant
F-150 2005 Kansas City Assembly Plant
Expedition 2005 Michigan Truck Plant
Navigator 2005 Michigan Truck Plant
F-Super Duty 2005 Kentucky Truck Plant


The injctors are only on 5.4 not on the 4.6.

In some of the affected vehicles with 5.4L 3V engines, the fuel injectors may stick open or closed.
This concern could cause the check engine light to illuminate along with a hard starting and/or rough
running engine condition. In some instances, continued engine operation with a stuck open/closed
fuel injector could result in powertrain damage.

Sorry dude your going to need a motor, but its all good you will get a new short block out of it.

I don't know where my truck was built. Does that cover every plant the F150 is built, or are there a few missing?

Loking for the letter.

OK, here's a copy of the letter. If you call a dealer and give your vin and Customer satisfaction Program 07M08 to the service manager they will verify if you're covered.

Okay, thanks.

Do you know how I determine which plant my truck was built in, just as a "good to know", because I can't find anything that indicates this. I guess there's a code in the VIN?

Mine was on the window sticker from when I bought the truck. It shouldn't matter anyway, the dealer will know by your vin.

HDXLT may be able to pull up your vin info for you Monday also, if you ask him.

The 11th digit in my VIN is an "F". Apparently F = Dearborn.

This is the VIN decoder I used:

I wonder why some people got the letter and others didn't? My truck was probably one of the last few 05's off the line in June of 05.

Oh well; next time I'm at my dealer I'll see what's up.

Mine has a UAW Assembly plant sticker on the lower right side of the windshield that has the Kansas City Plant on it. The "Show me State".....

Yeah, I realize a lot of trucks have a sticker somewhere indicating the plant. Mine has nadda, nowhere, other than the VIN/manufacturers sticker inside the drivers door, and the tire info sticker. That's it, nothing anywhere else on the truck.

I'm hoping Quintin is wrong, and they actually changed injectors just prior to the 06's. That way I may be out of the loop.

That was the same post I was talking about as well.
