Our Ford dealer doesn’t generally work on V10s; therefore, didn’t know where all of the grease zerks were or that there was an emergency brake fluid reservoir at the rear of the transmission that needs to be checked occasionally plus they have to work on motor homes outside on the ground, therefore, they recommended my mechanic’s shop many years ago for better service.

He has always done a good job for me on other repairs so I’ll have him check access to see if he can do it more reasonable than $1,000.
Thanks again
