2011 F150 parts back ordered
I have bragged about my F150 with the 3.5 EcoBoost starting with my first post on this forum. I now have to issue a HUGE warning to owners of 3.5l EcoBoosts.
My engine developed a leak somewhere on the drivers side exhaust manifold. It results in a rattling sound once in a while. This started in October while on vacation. When we got home, I took it to the Ford dealership to find out what the problem was. I had them order the part (drivers side exhaust manifold) and did not hear from them. I called back in November and they said that the part was on order. Today, January 13, 2021 I went to ask if they had received the manifold. I was informed that it was still on backorder. I asked them to contact Ford and find out what is going on with this.
The parts guy looked it up and found that there are 1270 of the drivers side exhaust manifolds ON BACK ORDER and they have no idea when my part will be delivered.
The outcome of this repair will determine my next tow vehicle. If Ford can't repair my truck, why should I buy another Ford. I know that Covid has thrown a wrench into all supply lines but maybe they need to look at other suppliers.
Enough of my rant, How is your day going.
