[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16637540, member: 166576"] Lol, I have a legit complaint about 2 OEM "factory" Degas tanks having the exact same failure in the same spot within 2 months. A failure that could cause head gaskets to go poof.... Add to it other members here having similar and worse issues with the same part.. That apparently means my 15 years of repairing vehicles professionally have been voided and I need to stop driving used vehicles because repairing them myself is too much for me to handle. .... Got it. Also, to your part about FoMoCo not directly producing this or the vast majority of parts on their cars brings this to mind: No Shit. But luckily for Ford, it came in their box, from their dealer with their "warranty" so FoMoCo produced or not, its their issue. I dont have an IDS tool, and Im not going to chart digital readouts from Forscan. But consider I had zero issues with overheating the last 3 years Ive owned this truck in this climate and blast furnace for summer temps. This issue free experience was with a failing tank. My troubles began after I replaced as preventative maintenance a legit failed degas tank with a faulty Ford Genuine degas tank. Replaced it with another, began to overheat and had the same failure. If there is further mechanical failure after this (ie head gaskets are blown) Im going to use my professional experience and knowledge to form an opinion that the bad, out-of-the-box Ford Genuine tanks contributed to the failure. Not the other way around. Wow... I cant imagine that customer being particularly happy. Literally my failure on these two tanks. Napa has some degas tanks, probably made by the the same Motorad dipshits... That Mishimoto is nice. Too much to ask for the factory replacement to function right? lol Im going to try NAPA I think. Trying to get a parts warranty on an over the counter part from Ford is proving to be total pain in the ****ing ass. If the NAPA part fails, its like Amazon. Bring it in for the next one as long as you have the receipt. I think the design is ok, even the manufacturing process of the original, factory installed tanks was clearly ok. What probably happened is what youre alluding to: Ford found a way to cut corners in the manufacturing side of the part. Probably took their molds to a different company from the original supplier and said make it cheaper. Either the tank halves are chemically bonded together and some step of that process isnt thorough enough. Or the halves are essentially melted together and the machine thats responsible is missing that corner or its not getting hot enough. Whatever the case, a literal stack of these prematurely failed tanks should have gotten someone at Ford warranty to raise an eyebrow. There is clearly ZERO quality control after the part is made before its thrown in the box. Maybe Ford's agreement is 100% payout of the claim by the manufacturer, in exchange for sole sourcing by Ford and others for this and possibly other replacement parts. [/QUOTE]
