You think. No, I'm a skeptical person. I should live in Missouri, not California. You need to show me. I can't tell you how many people swore by an item, just to have it fail, or leak, or just work crappy. Here's a classic example, about 8 years back, I was on my 2nd Lincoln Mark 7. As with our Expeditions the rubber air suspension bags fail from rot at approximately 10-13 years. So I ordered up a set of fronts from an aftermarket company, due to 1/2 the price of Ford. Well, besides the fact the Lincoln now rode like a truck, instead of the wonderful floating ride that the OEM ones provide, the bags completely blew out in just 3 months. Had to convert all 4 corners to that companies coil springs. They were also horrible. So all their so called testing was just garbage. That and the promise of original ride. Same goes for so called testers of new parts for newer vehicles. Do you think the 04-07 Expeditions would have the phaser lack of oil pressure problem, or the stretched timing chains that plague all models. No, if these people did their job, and better still if the Suits above them, let them fix these problems in pre production, none of these failures would happen. The US would blow Japan and Germany right out of the water, just like in 1945. But alas, it will never happen again. Cost, always Trump's anything else. Excuse the pun. It's a shame a company like Ford, has to fix problems one after another with Tsb bulletins, rather than a product out that works perfectly the first year. Maybe 25 years from now, when I'm too old to drive, they'll get it right.
