Is that a high-tech word for Rhino?

I called ford this morning and the dealer got caught lying to ford :) They said I had only been there 2 times total. When I mentioned the new turbo charger, the ford woman looked it up and low and behold, she found another list of me going there over 20 times. 3 of those times for oil leaks.

I think I will be getting this $1200 oil pan for free. :) The dealer has 5 days to respond to ford and myself about resolving this problem.

I turned wrenches for 10 years, and I don't know why Ford truck oil pans always rot out. GM and Chrysler oil pans don't, and from the price you posted I see that you have a van :) Those things are an absolute motherfucker to change the oil pans on...the first time I did it was once too many.

Ford trucks have had this same issue since the mid '80s. Perhaps one day they'll use better paint on their oil pans :)
