Had a "nice" little surprise this week about my pending repair. The spring strut assemblies I bought at NAPA were much lighter than the OEM and not one person could tell me definintively whether they were actually for my particular truck or not. Took them back and returned them. Nobody was sadder than me. Was really hoping to put them on last weekend.
I ordered the parts from Ford and found out the shocks, bushing, and sleeve were all availble in a day, but the springs are back ordered....til sometime about two weeks out! How the heck can they not have any springs in stock sooner than that????? I'm supposed to get them a week before I go on my next trip. Any bets on whether that happens or not? GRRRRRRR! I feel a call coming on.
