I've had two instances in the last two months of service malpractice.
In February my L died on the highway and I had it towed to a dealer I knew. First mistake! After two weeks and $2000 I got it back. For that money they replaced the PCM and fuel pump.
I have spoken to several Ford Tech's since and they just shook their heads and said no way. One even suggested that they probably found the problem after changing those things. When I asked JL he said it might have been as simple as a hose having fallin off the fuel pump.
Last week my daughter in law took her 98 Cobra in to have the plugs changed (my son is in Iraq) and a power steering leak fixed. She expected it to cost around $500.
The estimate came back at $2,800. "Two bent axles, replace power steering pump, replace hydro-booster, replace steering rack and turn rear brakes. She almost had a breakdown.
She took it to an independent shop and they replaced a hose. No more leak. $87.95!!

Holy crap! The L in the top left corner was MINE!
That caught me completely off guard. What an honor.Especially seeing as how I had to let her go last week.
I 'm dealing with some serious withdrawals right now. That was nice to see though.Later,

All is well. It was just time for me to get my priorities in line. My wife and I are wanting to start a family, and my dropping a grand or more (payment, ins., gas, mods) a month into the truck was not helping us get there. I'm trying to keep my head up, as this is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to sacrifice, but I'm hoping there will be time(and money) for toys later.
At any rate, I'll still be hangin' around so let me know how your beast is progressing. Last I heard she was running pretty well.
Take it easy bro!
Later,
Rob
