Hope they dont develop an airbagB) Ford warranties are dealt thru an insurance company.......... Dealers are audited on some of their warranties This may partly explain why dealers can be a pain in the ass to deal with on warranty issues and the modded T black list :o Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13815-heater-core/#findComment-188625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
