Yeah exactly! 10 hours to slide a tranny back... FUGG that.
I've just made plans to get it done somewhere else. Someone I trust (who has been historically crazy busy). I will have AAA tow it out of the dealership and it's getting sent to a buddy in my home town. It will probably sit for two weeks or so as he's finishing up a truck now and has to pour concrete, but then mine goes in, and better news yet is we're going to do my studs/headgaskets at the same time. I feel a LOT better about the situation. I will make it known at the dealership I am NOT happy with the service thus far and make sure the general manager knows he just lost a NEW car sale out of this, my gf has been drooling over the new eco-boost escapes.
This is ridiculous, but shame on me as this has been pretty much par for the course dealing with any Ford service center I've been to. Thanks Ford for keeping me out of 6.7 powerstroke payments, just so I don't have to deal with this.
Mark my words gentlemen, this is the LAST time this truck ever sees a Ford service center while under my ownership. I will fix it myself or let it rot in the driveway before it goes back there.
