Your not going to believe this!

And no , I don't think I'm going to drop the tranny pan this weekend to see what might be in there.

I bet you will

I bet there may become a few folks here that might take some safety wire and fish around the bottom of their oil pan the next time they change the oil!

Anyone who has worked around cars for a while will recognize this plug, ford used them to plug off the trans fill hole before the dipstick was installed. first time I saw one many moons ago I was like wtf is this. soooooo don't panic if you find this in the pan. not really sure ford still uses these.

So. I went to the dealer today and looked up into the bottom of my engine. All bolts accounted for. The service manager printed off the hot line report. I laughed pretty hard.

Read it.

And there is the bolt.

LOL, sounds my technicians respond in the same manner.

Based on that response from Ford, sounds like they could care less that this is an issue or that the owner of this truck has concerns. Good luck getting a longer warranty on the engine from Ford. I bet they throw you under the bus.

For some reason today, I'm strangely optimistic.

But the funny thing is Ford talks about tranny pans and bell housings ....never mentions OIL PANS! LOL

I see that there isn't any Loctite debris on the rod bolt, so that would make sense since it was never installed. Maybe some pissed off factory worker tossed this in the pan on his last shift? Was your truck built on a Friday?
