Post FORD help me

brought my L to dealers today with pull prob, they were still trying to align 4 hrs later , I asked if they would like the L specs for alignment, asked what they found with the rotten egg smell, they said it was the new paint in the flomasters,scary, almost pulled it out, asked them to check for i/c leak,told me there is no I/C in that model , pulled truck right out of there

If your dealer has no clue that there is an Intercooler on your beast, maybe they shouldnt be in business....IMO

that's inexcusable.

Any chimp who can read a car magazine knows these things are ICed. There is no excuse for the service department to be that ignorant.

Is this dealership SVT-authorized? If they are, I would pitch a major bitch to SVT. Even if they aren't, I'd be complaining to someone at Ford.

The rotten egg smell is probably from your catalytic converters.

You might want to have that checked out by someone who can find their *** without a flashlight and help from their mother.
