An Aussie on the soap box

Thought this was about Australian Shepards.

Whoops! Haven't done this for a while and a little dislexed,ha.Anyway I have been reading the trials and tribulations of my fellow Raptor owners,mainly in the US. I have owned my 17 Raptor from new since Dec17 and I also can report some minor issues. Pictured is a completely destroyed AC Compressor,# 3000kms and to my surprise it is FOMOCO. Thought maybe out sourced. Now at 43000km I am awaiting a new tailgate actuator, Yes haven't been able to drop the tailgate.
Generally speaking, these rigs are the best money can buy and one should expect problems with all the electronics used in vehicles today.I hope the spacecraft on journey to Pluto goes without a hitch.
Otherwise I have had faultless,trouble free motoring.
As I have said, one who owns a Raptor has the Bragging Rights.

On the Virus, I do hope America
survives. I am a Liberal so I guess that makes me a Republican.Please support Donald,he is still the leader of the Free World.Oops,sorry for the Politi s.
Aust has 2 big problems..Chinese takeover by stealth...and Rams.
Keep safe and keep isolated.

Sorry 911, It means the scourge of the Ram, Dodge Ram. We know them here as Rams. They seem to be taking over the place as our replacement work utility vehicle and caravan accessory.
Both Ford and GM are looking at stemming the growth,,ha.

Had figured you meant actual rams, and was like wait, that's a problem there now too? I mean, wouldn't the dropbears dispense with them rather quickly? Or those snakes that shoot spiders from their mouths (sorry, or is it spiders that shoot snakes... I forget?)

Awesome you have one of these there..any luck getting Ford to warranty any of it or is it all on your own?

You are sooooo correct on that one! Are most Aussies for or against Donald?

I now want to see an Australian Shepherd place on a soap box.

Note that place is what we call it when we want our dog to put her front paws on something.

Too many questions,guys,ha.
Ford warranty is spot on so no issue.Just the wait for freight.
Example,if I break a windscreen it could be up to a couple of weeks then I have $1000...Aus excess.
Secondly the feelings on Donald here are much the same as there. Too many people judge a book by its cover.Most Aust,I believe accept that America needs a good strong leader like Donald to get them back into credibility status.
As we say,God Bless America.

On another note,on my recent trip to Vietnam,I couldn't believe how many tourists,mainly Euros, did not know that Aus was a participant in the Viet war.That really upset me. Oops.sorry again.

Sorry jakenbake, a soapbox was used in earlier times,50,s and 60,s for a street spruker to sound out his message.He would bring a soap box(as soap used to be delivered in boxes about 2ft cube),stand on it and spruke.Hence the term, "On a soap box"...so now you know,don't ask again,ha.
