Hello Jack, Thank you for your valuable input. I will remind the service department to transfer the tech notes from tech note’s location of the work order to the customer copy for the reasons why they kept the tires in the same location rather than rotate them. My personally preference is to rotate the tires on my families’ vehicles every time we have Oil Changes. I use a Synthetic Blended Oil In lieu of Full Synthetic Oil as I have our personal vehicle oil changes done at 4000-mile interval. It is the cheapest way to protect your engine and your tires. and insure, I also require my tires to be rotated at that time, that way I always make sure our tires are rotated whether the tech says there a need to or not. I never use the manufacturer recommended scheduled maintenance intervals, as more maintenance is better than less. My family’s business was in trucking for over 80 years with 1000 pieces of equipment. It is the old school way of doing Preventive Maintenance that I feel comfortable with. If you would like to use the same services that I do, just make sure you tell your service advisor what you want done when you request service. Again, thank you for your valued input.

Good morning Mr. Cofrancesco I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused you and your dissatisfaction with our service department. In regards to the fuel pump driver module going bad, it was most likely an effect that was caused by the original issue of the PCM, which was most definetley bad. When we tested it, we found that the PCM itself was internally shorted which was causing it to provide 12 volts on a circuit that called for far less. We then had to special order a new PCM due to the age of the vehicle, which is what caused the wait we experienced. When we were perfoming our testing, we noted that the fuel pump driver module was not an original part, it did in fact appear to be a brand new part. After the repair, we test drove the vehicle and found everything to be operating as intended. When the PCM went bad it most likely did some internal damage to the replacement driver module, that took some time to fully fail, which is what happened when the vehicle broke down on you on 7/17. I know that you spoke with my Advisor Kyle then, and he requested that you have it towed back to us so we could resolve the issue, but he never heard back after that. I am very sorry that this happened to you, but unfortunately there was no way for us to know what was going to happen after the vehicle left, as it was running as designed for us on our test drives. I will make sure to be in contact with you today so that we can discuss this further and try to resolve the issue. Thank you and we'll talk with you soon.

Hi Jim, I can't believe 43 years have gone by since I bought Frontier Ford from Dave B. Dave still works 3 days a week plus. We have become very close over the past 43 years and I love working with him. Thank you for your continued support! It is always good to see you! Stay well and have a great summer with your Mustang!
