i went to a mechanic today and we were talkin about my truck and he looked up reacalls on my truck....i thought there was just the cruise control. it turns out that if your 99-00 was made in the ontario (maple leaf on your inner door sticker) then ou could be eligable for the recall i will be calling this week to find out more. and let everyone know..if i can find a scanner i will scan the paper he printed out for me.

 

All 99-00s had the field service recall for the intercooler. It was a timed recall. I think it lasted 5 years. Ford will not cover it anymore, they can't even get the recall parts any longer.

 

I bought my 2000 L two years ago from the dealership and within 4 months my intercooler started to leak. check the vin # and my truck wasnt on the recall list. thank God i bought the 3 year extended warranty. all i had to pay was $50.00 and i got me a new intercooler and that was about a litte more than a year ago. no leaks so far. if you didnt get the extended warranty you are looking about $2300.00 just for the inercooler. good luck

 

2300 for an intercooler? someone lied to you. all the recall parts are a new intercooler (01-04) and an adaptor plate. they dont carry them on the shelf but all the dealers i call told me they could get it for me for 1500.mines fixed so i'm not worried about it. i'm still goin to call that number b/c the paper says nothing about a time limit on the recall. if it works and i can get a new one then good stuff and maybe it will help others...if not then oh well it was worth a shot.

 

I ordered the intercooler kit for my 99 early this year. It was about $1k for the parts.

 

It's been over for years, not gonna work

 

All Lightnings were made in Ontario, haha

 

$2300. may have been what they quoted him for the part and the install.

The limit for the recall was September 30, 2002 if my memory serves me right. I got two notices from Ford, so the owners would have to be idiots not to get it done. Some people don't give a hoot!

 

The kit is still available but isnt a free recall item anymore.

where can i find the intercooler recall kit? for priced me out for 1500 for the kit....but if i can get it myself for 1000 id be much happier..

one can also upgrade to an aftermarket larger intercooler core from amazon

 

well then that's good news, my '99 has a ported and polished loer intake and mid plate but the intercooler core only has a few miles on it and I was planning on getting a larger core form Rick...

guess I have to pump more work into my midplate to get it to fit 'eh?? here dremel dreml dremel
