Thanks - I just learned from a guy at Ford that my trans would be coming from a Ford authorized builder and that the dealership should be able to put me in touch with the actual company so that I can find out for sure what they will be giving me - I would like to upgrade the TC at the same time
Chances are you could get the exact same thing at any local tranny shop that offers a nationwide warranty for a bunch less ( and chances are thy would be the ones doing the build for the one you would be picking up at the dealer anyway) THis is not an uncommon practice, and by the sound of it, thats what they are doing . All of the diesels in the central part of our state that get supposedly factory rebuilt units all come from a single machine shop in the area, regardless of make ( granted , its a great machine shop and they probably do a better job than most any production shop, but still, it does stink of a bit of misrepresentation )
