So what's the verdict? Did you get the oem intercooler, or the new one? Any pics or part numbers?

service dud ah, Dude, called me at 2:30 today. says we are waiting on bolts. I said, we talked about those bolts. he said yeah but they were supposed to come in with the I/C. So he has about 1/2 of them and the rest coming from 2 places. I didn't even go over there. The parts dept called me at the house today to tell me my special ordered parts had arrived.
They have not been nasty a bit. just kinda confused it seems. And I am driving one of their F-150 4.2 auto longbed as a loaner. I have to park out front with a parking pass cause it won't fit under the security door. I'll have to stay home this weekend. I'm not driving that to WV. too bad I don't have any manure to haul...

Another call, friday @ 2pm . now they have 8 bolts , waiting on the other 4 until Monday.
Truck is in a bay waiting. still driving the 150 fullsize 6 cyl. parking in the street. What could be better ? I didn't want to go anywhere this weekend anyway.

So did you get a peek at the new i/c? How about a p/n? Just wondering whether you are getting the oem part, or the "new and improved" model?

 

I understand the concern about the part #, but it will have to wait until I get the paperwork as the service guy didn't have a clue. How does a guy make his living fixing Fords at a dealer as the service manager, and not know a thing about the L ? INcredible. And we see mention of it all the time.

Thanks for the info, C. Pretty much what I expected. Still hoping that SVT was right when they told me the new ones will be out next month.
