Heater Core
Last Jan. My core sprung a leak. I missed my warranty by a month but my
miles were still relatively low so I talked with the local Ford service rep. guy. He made me an offer of $300.00 so I gladly let them deal with it. All better and a one year warranty on the core. Fast forward to November, guess what? Green fluid running under the passenger side carpet! Dang, I moved 1000 miles north of the OC to the new OC, (Oregon City) so I locate the Ford store and explain the deal. Guy OKs the warranty! But, he says my Stang suffers from chronic electrolysis, and needs a complete flush and some kind of additive used in diesels. This runs me 120 clams :/ Not knowing, I OK it (plus I should support my local repair guy lol). Did I get ripped? Does anyone know the name of the diesel additive? -- Tropic Green Y2K 5 Speed Mustang GT P-1SC & Some MM Stuff http://tinyurl.com/5d6dy |

Ask if he is using the BG stuff in the flush. Its Excellent for iron
blocks with Alum heads. |
