I have to laugh when the very documentation provided by Bosch and Ford is summarily dismissed by the fan boys on the Ford sites.

Rickatic:

The problem is people on forums you mentioned are so out of the science, technical, engineering, and government mainstream that they don't even know whats out there.

If they only know why their bellyaching have no impact on policy making and enforcement.

Sorry but ricatic WAS one of those Ford fan boys he now detests. He was not however part of the "same bunch" who do extreme mods (don't Chev or Ram have any modders?). Ricatic is a guy who bought a truck to drive and got screwed through no fault of his own...hence him now being a Ford terrorist.

Users of the site that he is referring to generated such a backlash towards Ford's unwillingness to cover one of their members HPFP failures through media and direct e-mail to Ford that the dealer did an about face and tore up the cheque that covered the repairs…In this case "bellyaching" did have an effect on enforcement and certainly has the policy makers attention. Only the foolish and the extremely arrogant ignore the power of public opinion. Think BP’s Tony Hayward, AIG and every US Bank exec.

And another thing, we are not all scientists or engineers, most here and other forums are hard working people who just want to learn, like to tinker, enjoy life, and drive our vehicles....sorry if we have an opinion. Speaking down to us is why most hold engineers and other know it alls in such contempt.
