Dropped her off at the dealer :(

2900 miles, and I dropped the 'Rauder off at the Ford L/M dealer for the steering wheel leather, shift linkage, sub rattle, and passenger wiper, plus an oil change. I'll post when I get her back. I hated watching that kid drive it out of the reception bay... :cry:

I'll be right behind you, I'm at alittle over 2400 miles. When I did my own oil change (first), I noticed moisture around the rack and pinion boot on the passenger side :(, that will definitely be priority.

Between the L&M dealer the body shop and this Northeast winter, more snow today I never get to drive it! Thank heavens for the F-150. :lol:

Big Dog :rock:
ps: Mark it only hurts for a while, you'll be fine.

OK, got her back...feel much better now :banana2:

The verdict -- ordering new stering wheel, part # 3W3Z 3600 AAB, for the "Gr/Marq". I need to see if this is the right wheel.

Passenger wiper - adjusted, parks properly now. Does not appear to be bent. I know someone was told it couldn't be done...it can. Description is Correction: Tighten, Operation: 17526A, Cond code: 33. Whatever all that means.

Sub rattle - could not verify.
Wind noise in driver's door - could not verify, inclement weather (they couldn't do a test drive, it snowed all day today)
Sticks in 3rd gear - same.

So I'll go back when the steering wheel comes in and demonstate the problems for them.

That's it - nice to have her back in the garage :rock:
