Unloaded it is nothing more than an expensive brick.....

Engineering may want it blue tagged and sent back so they can see what's up. Not unusual.

Ford charges the dealer for the core. It is credited to them when Ford receives it. Would not be that unusual for a dealer having 100k worth of cores floating around.

Ding Ding Ding.....

That's true. They use it as a way to control the aftermarket of rebuilt items. The rim as an example, if they charge a core they get to keep the old one and the people who rebuild rims are limited on where and and time it takes to acquire product to rebuild. In that example, If the rebuilder...

Nope, they have mounds of em to play with. Another guess?

Something to think about. If you are buying a NEW engine from a company that can and does manufacture the complete engine from scratch, why is there a core charge? Ford does not rebuild the engine, they have companies that are authorized to rebuild for Ford, example: AER. Carry it one step...

I'm not arguing the denial at all, just the process. Reps these days are not like you remember. Most (not all)are fresh out of college, late 20's, frequently female (no it doesn't make a difference) and come with marketing experience rather than engineering. They do not come with the SOLE...

I'm not arguing the denial at all just the process. Having been a Service Manager at a FORD dealer and seeing how THEY do it many times, I have my doubts about all this. The question that Ford always asked was "can you be 100% sure that the XXX caused the failure"? Their denial is provided to...

Not accurate. Everything you say is correct but they do have to tell him Exactly why the claim is denied and for what reason. Ford provides this to the dealer and they should in turn provide it to the customer. They DO have a basis to deny the claim from what has been posted in the last 55 pages...

Take note that there is $1850 in cores on that invoice that should be removed. parts appear to have been discounted some from MSRP. Ford OP Code allows 16 hours labor time at shop rate to R&R engine complete and a good portion of that would have been included in the teardown charge. Who Knows...

What I would like to see is the response from Ford, "In writing, with the EXACT reason the claim is denied". THAT is the only thing that counts. ...........But I repeat myself. The dealer has it, does the OP ???

Nah....looks bout normal around here..

Hey,I've always said"If you gotta mow, mow in style".

Nuff said.

What he said ^^^^^^^

Same here. I found this one about 25 years ago for $100. They're $400 and up if you find one now. My favorite of all 22 rifles is a Winchester 321 that I gave $150 for including a Leupold 3X9 on it. Neat history to it, I found out later. The barrel was made by Winchester but everything else was...

I have an early MK II and have never had enough nerve to completely take it down. The problem with the Nylon 66 is the stock and receiver are 1 piece , molded together so EVERYTHING goes thru a hole or slot and has to be done in an exact sequence. Assembly instructions is 10 pages long and a must.
