You do not have to go to an SVT dealer. Any Ford dealer or Mercury/Lincoln dealer can take care of this.

parts are in, truck will be ready by tomorrow evening! thank you lord!

BfB: when i took my truck to the local gomer & cooter ford dealership, they dropped it off the lift & caused a thousand dollars worth of damage.. i ended up getting very irate at the service manager when he said "tough", and that he wouldnt give me any sort of compensation. (all i wanted was an extended warranty to cover the loss of resale value due to the damage)
i took the shop to a really good body shop and had my insurance company charge the ford place. the local ford place dont like me anymore. they thought they were gonna get out of it easy by letting one of their paint monkeys fix it for next to nothing. WRONG!

 

T minus 8 hours and counting...

truck may be finished by this evening.. service woman said they did ship new supercharger to put on.. WOOT

this sounds a lot better than the other day when a service guy told my my Turbo was on backorder..
i was like, turbo? i get a turbo? kewl! or something.

Don't worry TOO much. My 2000 has 23K on the clock and I have no IC leak. I will get the IC changed if there is a recall however .

 

MY 2K is at 23000 and just started leaking. Dealer has ordered the parts. Can you really feel a difference with the new IC ?

 

i hope there is a SOTP difference.. mine has been leaking since 16K miles, i have 26K on there now.. i waited till there was a true fix before having it worked on.

Hi clonetek:

Do you think that the serviceperson that said you received a new supercharger knows what she's talking about?

wilywilky: i hope so.
i just hope the guy that said i was getting a new turbo didnt order parts for my truck. yikes!

t minus 4 hours and counting..

 

mission has been scrubbed... they didn't send new bolts to install the new parts..

t-minus infinity and counting.

hey bro, my 01' svt suppliment states"SVT Premium Sevice: Owners and lessees of 2001 model year SVT vehicles will be provided with a complimentary loaner vehicle when their 2001 SVT vehicle is in for service (includes waranty work and routine maintenance, other than oil changes). The dealership will also wash and vacuum the customer's vehicle unless requested otherwise."

 

Uhhh, yeah? We know this. He doesn't have an '01, though, for the 2nd time.

Brooks, I feel your pain. Mine goes under the knife again Monday. Is twice in one year pushing my luck?

I ordered the kit myself from SVT today.

 

countdown time again...
today i will either get my "fixed" truck, or a loner... i hope for the former, not the latter.

gonna take my camera and maybe get some pics of the old stuff and maybe the new stuff too..

jay: you are gonna do the swap yourself? or you ordered the parts for the dealer?

 

Brooks, since I didn't take the truck in for testing/inspection/ disassembly without parts, I had to get an approval from SVT. I called the following phone number, gave them my VIN # and they shipped the parts to the dealer. They send the parts with the VIN number attached. I looks like they are only going to do this once. I believe that you can have them shipped to any dealer.

The parts are in the local warehouse, here in Monteberllo, CA, so they should have them today. I have an appointment on Monday for the replacement.

Here's the number for those who need it: 1-800-248-0186

They were real nice, and knew what was going on. Just use the OPN # 01B81.

 

its been 12 days now...
truck still isn't ready. they are waiting on new bolts for the intake/ 'charger... i thought you could reuse them?

i am now beating, er.. driving a silver '02 jeep liberty sport.
are there any "free" mods for it? LOL

i'm off this weekend.. anyone want to come by and drink a few (cases) with me?


someone bring their lightning over, i've almost forgotten what positive boost feel like.
