To those with 2001's,

The 1st 2001 with the movement that can show me a pic of the lower control arm gets a free set! Send the pic of the truck, and then a pic of the lower control arm.

Herb> They fixed the 2001's. I heard rumor that they copied your washer fix idea as you didn't apply for a patent. J/K

Do you really think that they would build the 2001's the same as 99's & 00's when they know that there is a problem?

I'd put my money on the '01's not making a noise out of the frontend.

The question is,
"Just how much money are you willing to bet?"
I hope your right, it would do them good to restoring their (Ford) name with many L owners; past, present, and future.

 

Hey 01ArrestMeRed,

Are you sure about this? I'm a gambling man! Oh yea I forgot, Patent search was done in Nov of last year. Patent is now pending. Becareful of what you wish for.

I don't remember making any wishes.

The only things anyone is sure of are death and taxes.

Time will tell!

Sorry to hear that you're having problems with your truck.
Alot of times I've seen dealers/shops, cause more problems trying to fix something, so they will get you back to them for more repairs.

Mine will never go to a dealer or shop for anything. I own my own auto-repair/towing business. I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I work it right, and happen to have any problems, I'll fix it myself and get paid by Ford for the warranty work.

I hope they get yours fixed for you.

I'm taking my truck to '01ArrestMeRed for any warranty work. Don't even know the man but I already trust him more than Ford.

 

Herb,

You've got mail!

So, does the 2001's need the washer fix or not ?

 

KGM> Thanks for the good words.
If you ever get up this way, feel free to stop in. I'm 180 miles North of you, on HWY.95. Who knows? It may become Ricks Automotive & Authorized Lightning Warranty Repair Station.

'01...Will do, bet there are a lot of nice roads we could race on!

 

There have been a couple of '01s with the clunk already - at least that's what I've heard.
