Well, the FORD dealer just called ... my brakes
are shot ... Pads and Rotors - all four corners !!!
Cracked rotors and the pads are missing in action.
Now I knonw what that noise was!!!!

They are NOT in stock, so I have no truck until
at least Wednesday of NEXT week....

I knew I should had them looked at last week

Good news is there is only 11,800 miles on it
and it is all under warranty !!!

No dragstrip for me this weekend ...
That means hanging around with
the "boat anchor" as some others
put it so succinctly ... (I love you dear!)

i would feel sorry for you, but that's probably about a $1,000.00 brake job, at dealer prices, so you are one lucky bastid, or something

 

Time for Hawk Pads!!!!

 

Thats sweet!

a complete brake job for free!


make sure you get a free alignment out of them too, HAHHAHAHA.

 

A brake job - under warranty??

So, how did you convince the dealer to replace a consumable part, under warranty? Damn, that's a sweet deal!

 

i just dropped my truck off at the dealer this morning to have the brakes checked. they squeak so much i started going crazy. there is no way that you can look kool when you pull up in front of people to park and your breaks are squealing the whole time!!...chris

 

My good looks and indomitable (Incapable of being overcome,
subdued, or vanquished; unconquerable) personality I guess.

Plus that 12 Month 12 Thousand Mile bumper to bumper
FORD warranty on our lovely trucks ... No questions asked.

They just said, "We will take care of you!"

The service writer and advisor even know that I race
on occasion, and even ask me how I did. FORD needs
more people like that !!! IMHO

So, you see ALL dealers are not scumbags, anymore than
all of anything is anything. The exceptions make the rule
it seems.

But I AM really gonna miss "Christine" this weekend ...
while all my friends are running at Clay City ...

PS... I already had the rears replaced and turned because
of the "squeal" .... also under warranty ...

 

They shouldn't squeal at low turning rates is what I was told
as they replaced them last time ... I have 11 K on the baby
Good Luck on yours

 

Thats pretty sweet to save yourself a nice 1000$!

Mr SVT_KY,

Man I hope you don't mind me asking?

But how in blue blazes do you eat up all 4 corners in 11,800 miles?????????????

Does you right foot not know what the left is doing? (jk)

What....How......Why.......?

WOT

 

To quote my service advisor "This is an SVT Vehicle, and
it is designed to be DRIVEN!"

Two words ... SCCA and 1320's <grin> and maybe those
155 MPH runs across the mountains? And so far, not
one JDM part has failed me other than the chip and the
pulley.

 

More like the LEFT doesn't know what the RIGHT is doing!

<Whatta mean we're ACCELERATING? I'M BRAKING, DAYUM IT!!
120 is just too fast for that corner!!! >

<Hey, I really need those NEW F1's you got sitting at
Goodyear !!! I am down to the wear bars here !!! Helloo???
You want me to support you in that SOLO II thing next week?
Get me some DAYUM new shoes!!!>

 

Wonder how the RENTAL Focus will do at the track?

 

LOL, I bet you can fry the Foci's brakes in a week or so before you return it!!!!! They are itty bitty brakes, easily smoked.

 

Your JDM chip AND pulley both failed you? Crap...that is exaxtly who I was going to buy a chip and pulley through....DOH!
