dealer won't give out prev. owner info?
 

called up my dealership where i bought my truck, cause it's killing me knowing my motor has been pulled by the prvious owner. the car fax is clean. I called the used service manager and he said "i cannot do that" . hmmmm:rolleyes: , i get transfered to new car sale, then i ask for the gm, and just so happens he is in a meeting after they learn i am not happy. i told them my truck was not inspected by them before they made it available for purchase. Can you say they can stick my foot somewhere if they try to deny my warrenty? Cause there was still tape on the computer where a chip was in there and its on its second trnasmission, computer wiring harness been hacked. I found this out after i took it to my tuner. So whats up with this. they said they couldnt let me have that info. i thought they could>?

"Privacy" issues prevent them from giving out a person's private info. If, you can get his name(and they may not even be able to that?), then you can try and talk directly to him. It's up to him then whether he tells you anything.................

As far as the previous owner info they cannot disclose his/her name and address due to privacy laws. You should be able to get from Ford a list of all dealer done service work on the vehicle you own. Ford would be able to track that via the VIN number, without any conflict. :confused:

hrmm. damn, thought i read somewhere on here where you can talk to the owner. guess i misunderstood something. i feel like a dummy now; sorta and sorta not. is there any other way i can track his info?. i have some friends in DPS. think they might can do it?

in kentucky they have to provide you the information..guess not in all states though.

true. i just traded in my L and it says on the windshield "previous owner info provided. you should be able to speak with who ever owned it before, good luck.

what about a carfax report,i never did one
before.does it give you previous owner info??

ermmm. don't now. i feel like they are always fake when a dealer hands it to me. that second transmission didn't even show up, and the dealership did that work.

If I'm reading your post correctly, your saying the motor was pulled by the previous owner?

yep, by the previous owner.

Why do u want to contact him. Just to see what he was running in or do you have a problem. Just wondering. Good luck.

Did the dealership disclose that, or did you find out on your own? Perhaps I'm missing an earlier post on this subject, but I'm confused. Not sure why the original owner would pull a motor that was under warranty unless it had major problems he didn't want Ford to know about.

I know my 2002 was re-sold by the dealership with the original computer, minus my chip..................of course I removed all the tape, but anyone can tell it was chipped. They replaced the tranny too, but it was leaking......must have been that pressure bump from the chip...........

Anyway, try your contact through DPS, they should be able to determine through your state's DMV who was the previous owner. :wave:

I would like to know if i have a lower end package or something, or if it was blown, or what. basically to see how far into the darkside i can take her:) i just know the truck is fine going over 140 for a few minutes ;)

HAHA, just praying that maybe theres a built bottom end down there and maybe a 4v conversion you didnt notice, i like that idea. :devil: That would be the coolest day and the fastest drive to a tuner ever.

lmao!! hell yeah man. thats my wish. my tuner told me it ran long tubes and had a second computer hooked up, also possibly ran no2. so i think...hrmmmm. looks like i freaking won't find out.
