Buyer beware?

 

[Bucko]

Meaning they didnt come with O-rings

 

[j.footit]

got my 2 filters today. No problems. Thank you again for the info!

So the filters didn't come with O rings?

There are three things you can do in any combination.......

1. Buy the O rings for 84 cents, yes, 84 cents and be on your way.......
2. Return the filter because they didn't come with 84 cent O rings.....
OR
3. Come to the forum here and complain that the filter that is impossible to find didn't come with 84 cent O rings and express how you feel you got ripped off paying $29.65 plus shipping for a filter that some were paying $300 for.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Got my filters in last night and ran up to the local dealership to pick up the o-rings. Dealer was impressed that i was able to get the filters.

Once again Tomster, thanks for the info!!!

I was at my local dealer yesterday and the filter still shows not available and number superseded.
Ordered 2 from South Bay.I'll check on the o-rings Monday.Off to Pocono tomorrow with Stacked On Track.
Thank You!

Dealership near me quoted 84 cents a pair.

Just picked up my 2 filters and case of oil. O-rings came in box, with the new -A suffix.

Yeah weird - my filter from last year has the o-rings in a little baggie in the box - this one does not... Ford is really watching their bottom line...

@dpAtlanta says that ford put out a bulletin that orings are not required to be changed unless they are damaged. He is working on getting the bulletin number so that people don't feel compelled to swap out their Orings.

Hey man people have to make up the money they paid over MSRP for their cars, might as well start with .84 O rings hahaha

If what DpAtlanta is saying is true, maybe ford did decide to not require oring replacement for each oil change.

You'd be surprised.. they 'engineered out' the under hood work light on the super duty pickups as a running change. One less part. One less supplier etc.

As promised Tomster... I am reporting my results:

Well... I just heard from the Service Manager from the Ford Dealer... I had asked him for a copy of the bulletin or at least the bulletin number.

This is what he said when he called me back with an answer:

RING-RING
"Hello"
"Hey Bob, this is Christian at the Ford Dealer"
"It's Dave."
"Oh yeah, sorry Don."
"No - it's Dave, not Don."
"Yeah-yeah, right Dennis... listen, I have an answer on the air filter bulletin."
"No, no, it's the oil filter O-rings"
"O-rings for what?"
"The oil filter Christian."
"Yeah, yeah that's right Darren."
"It's Dave!"
"Who's Dave?"
"I am... what's the deal with the oil filter O-ring bulletin info...do I need to replace or inspect?"
"Well Derrick, there are NO O-rings on air filters, so you have nothing to worry about... glad I could help, please leave a positive review on an e-mail we'll be sending."
"Uh............. Christian.......... ?"
"Yes Dan?"
"Dan...? ... it's Dave....!!!!!!!!"

But seriously, this is what was said:

"I misspoke, when I told you there was a bulletin, there was actually a hand-written note in the parts catalog since there was now two separate part numbers. The lead tech wrote replace if necessary."

I specifically asked if there was anything from Ford stating that the O-rings can be re-used if not damaged... he indicated NO, their "thought" was that there was two separate part numbers now, that is what they would do.

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

And I'm taking my Shelby here... at least the Ford Performance mechanic has his head on straight and was not involved in this silliness.

BUY O-RINGS WITH YOUR FILTER FOLKS....!!!!!
