Ford engineers should burn in H -e double hockey sticks.........
Heater hoses have quick disconnects where they plug onto firewall.... (F-350)
Mine were dripping..... simple fix right ????
went to stealership to order new O-Rings. waited 2 days----
pick up the O-rings---- they aint O-rings--- they are plastic spacers that go between the 2 O-rings.
couldn't find an exploded view good enough to see anything..... it DID have 2 silicone O-rings a 1 spacer.
talked to ford parts again today. Guess what------
Ford does not sell O-rings. they sell the plastic spacer between the 2 O-rings (which I bought) - but NOT O-rings.
They say I have to buy the whole hose...... they parts guy says "the o rings must not ever break or else they would
sell them" These are silicone O-rings--- which tear and cut more easily than neoprene and Viton. I ordered a box
of 25 for 6$ from MSC. Be here tomorrow----
To me this seems like a SCAM to run up the repair bill when you take your truck to ford to get repairs.
The mechanic pulls the QD off- o-ring cut = you pay for brand new hoses. You complain that the hoses were fine.....
Then they claim they had to replace them because they cant (wont) get an o-ring that costs me 20 cents.
I guess that's why I try to do everything I can.......
Ford didn't used to be crooks.......
