Well I did get a loaner but it will not tow my trailer, he he. A new Fusion. Beets walking though.
Should have mentioned it is a gasser, 6.2
Tow truck dude dropped it off the flat bed, lucky it didn't hurt anybody. He had it almost all the wway on the bed but had pulled it up by the tow hooks and put it in park while he changed the cables to the frame behind the front diff. Then he pulled it out of park before he took up the slack on the winch again. I was surprised he got up off the ground quick enough to stop it from hitting a truck that was 20 feet behind it. Dude fell about 4 feet to the ground too.
Then the guy who came with a new flatbed, (first one had a broken cable, imagine that), cut the front air dam with his cable. It was a free tow but geez!
Anyway, I may or may not hear the diagnosis tomorrow. The local Ford dealer is plenty busy being the only local dealer for an area with a couple hundred thousand people.
