They're a big corporation with processes, testing procedures, quality metrics, manufacturing partners, etc. I think they're culturally prohibited from moving fast. Like IBM of the past, it would probably take them 9 months to ship an empty box.
It probably took Ford very little time to build the kit and it's taking them quite a while to test it. I would assume it's been installed in a number of cars and they are putting lots of miles on those cars right now in various conditions. Remember, an OE solution is expected to last for well over a hundred thousand miles. If I built a system I would probably check the brackets, hoses and fittings before and after every track event plus every few months of normal driving. Heck, I'd probably double check it every weekend for at least the first couple months. I would expect my "engineered" system to last for a few years at most. It would probably also be heavier than necessary. I would for sure want rubber isolators on the radiator and pump. I would also be concerned about the pump getting hot under certain conditions. Too much FMEA going on in my head.. :(
There is a small screw holding the bumper to the fender that is a real pain to remove. You have to remove the fender liner, or at least pull it mostly off to get to the screw.
Once the liner is out, it is fairly easy to access that screw. It's that same screw that closes the gap between fender and bumper. Had to replace mine with a bigger one as mine had been stripped at the factory .
Even after I removed that small 7mm screw I can't seem to pop it off.
Once the small screw is removed, the corner of the bumper is separated from the fender by giving it a good firm pull towards you. It basically just snaps in, then the screw is used to close the gap.
Going off memory I want to say 15 feet.
I asked the same question in the past, but got no answer. How do you check the fluid level?
