no other dealers around to get repairs done faster?

 

[fordguys550]

Its the closest one. Thats where ford had it towed

 

[fordguys550]

Un mother fu king believable. Dealer called....the flyaheel came in that i told them they should have ordered 2 weeks ago.....and guess what....flywheel bolts on on backorder for up to 3 weeks. Frustration doesnt even beginto describe this....i litterally feel like i could hirt somebody.

:faint:

not the first time I have seen extended backorder here. Appears something is wrong with Fords supply chain. Flywheel bolts are an easy FedEx item. I hope my car doesn't require any repairs.

 

[fordguys550]

One can only hope. Now im really wishing i would have just bought a spec wheel and clutch and did it myself. I recently just heard about 2 other guys that busted flywheels. Now ill be freaking out everytime i get on it. Such bullshit. I mean, does this mean ford cant build anybnew cars or what? Its like 8 bokts people...hell, throw some arp's in there

3 weeks backorder is probably enough time to send an email to their supplier in China, get the parts machined, loaded onto a boat, shipped to the US, then Fed-Ex to your dealer.

not sure what I would do in your situation

Strangle somebody

3 weeks that's not bad at all. Don't you have to recal crank sensor after replacing flywheel.

I've had to wait 7 weeks for rocker base for ISL Cummins. Factory wouldn't pull one from the assemble line engines they were already called for, there U.S plant was down, order went to Belgium but they forgot went on 2 week break, then order went to China and was FedEx to us direct. All because someone pried against it to remove injector. I swear it was still hot from casting and being machined LOL.

 

[fordguys550]

Well i hope they know about that. Ill ask on monday

 

[fordguys550]

Theyve already had the car for 2 weeks and just thursday got it apart..

 

[paul123]

Seems like you have a lot of aftermarket on your car, why didn't you just get a GT ? Aftermarket clutch / flywheel is going to get you in deeper.

 

[fordguys550]

The 10,000$ price difference

 

[paul123]

Doesn't look like it. You have a lot of expensive looking gear on your car that would bridge the gap.
