*Huge sigh of relief

It's nice to be done with the wait. Now I can finally update my profile!
Thanks to Crystal for all of your help. When we showed up this afternoon the Sales Manager walked out and said; "I've got to come shake the hand of the guy that has Ford calling me to see if I knew anything about the status of your vehicle instead of the other way around. I've never had that before, but you had people checking everything.

All I can say is; Well worth the wait! Very happy!
...(also, myfordtouch and my experience with it so far...a little unimpressed with the lag and general glitchyness of it; but I'll wait until I figure more of it out before I make an official ruling.)

Of course I have to follow up with the necessary congratulations, but I really want to know is do you have anything fun planned for it? Our Xsport has been awesome ever since we have bought it, and no one suspects it to be so fast. It has hurt the feelings of many unsuspecting drivers in the next lane :)

Thanks Livernois,
Hard to say, there's nothing I love more than modding, but I'm still on the fence about tinkering vs keeping my warranty intact. Thoughts?

Our shop truck has been nothing but reliable, and we have put it through a great deal of, umm, testing ;) We have spent years mastering the balance of power and reliability out of the EcoBoost platform, and take great pride in our track record. My vote goes towards modding :)

I don't doubt the reliability of your stuff one bit! I've read countless posts from people running your stuff on my exact platform, even just the fact that we're having this chat right now is a testiment to your customer service; my concern is for the other half...the ford side.
I had to wait three and a half months for my truck so ford could "get it right" and now I have a check engine light on with a message that says; "check charging system" and my girlfriend just called to tell me when she parked at work the steering wheel got really hard to turn as she pulled into a spot. Also, when I checked under the good earlier I see there's green liquid resembling anti-freeze all over the front pass side under the hood. And the coolant is red so wtf!? Hoping it's just some type of that preventer from the dealer...but can't say my confidence is super high right now that I won't run in to any problems
...I mean s**t I just crossed 100.0miles this afternoon.

wow, that's nuts! It sounds like something wen't out on the electric power steering. I hope it gets sorted out for you soon.

JimiJak

Me too! ...but, that's what warranties are for. ;)

Aw JimiJak!  We were so happy for you!  Hope Ford gets it fixed up fast for you.  Tell them to clean the engine compartment too!
