[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16636801, member: 166576"] Im fine owning a used vehicle. 15 years as a dealer technician, trust me turning a wrench isnt the issue. My issue with this particular circumstance is that Ford's quality for their replacement parts is shit. The degas bottle (coolant reservoir) is a part of the pressurized cooling system known as a closed system. Most of Ford's cooling systems are closed. This particular system is not new to Ford, nor its cooling system parts suppliers. Id expect this quality from a no name Rock Auto or Amazon part, or Dorman. Not a full price retail "Genuine" part from a dealership. No one makes 100% perfect parts every time. But 2 different times from 2 (allegedly) different batches... nah its just a bad part vendor for Ford. But, they wear Ford's badge and ultimately the buck stops with them. If it was an over pressure issue, maybe. But its a brand new pressure cap on there from Ford. Two actually, as I got a new cap when I got the replacement degas bottle. If it looses pressure (cause its got a poor seam) then the temp WILL rise and it wont be able to get the heat out fast enough from the radiator given my ambient air temp. [/QUOTE]
