[QUOTE="BDRAG, post: 999092, member: 567"] UPDATE: Picked the truck up 5/16/16. The dealer, Five Star Ford Plano had the truck 2 weeks. I was kept informed of what was going on even though my service advisor never came back to work. WTF? After 2 weeks in the dealer I expected a big surprise at the cashier. When I went to return my free rent car and pick up the truck, I figured I would have shop supplies and this and that which I figured was gonna be $200- $500 over whatever my Ford Extended warrantee was going to cover. To my wonderful surprise all I owed was the $100 deductible. WOW! Pleasant surprise! Raptor Drives again. I noticed first off it shifts much more positive in every gear. Should since it was refurbished. I will list the total package and parts installed when I get a chance. Cost on the ticket was around $1650 in labor and $620 in parts. Plus the $300 in rentals the cost to my warrantee was around $2500....... Since myself and many others here on the forum have had such bad issues with some of the Ford dealer shops I figured I better get under the truck and see what was good and what was bad before I take off anywhere far from home. The ticket said the tranny was on the bench so much had to come out to get it to the bench. So I called a friend that has a great 60 x 90 shop next to his house with a great lift.
