BIGV said:Ok I have a ? I have an 03 with 8200 miles on her . She is put away for the winter and I have no TOB problelms shifts fine. Now to my ? is it inevitable that the TOB will go bad and will Ford replace it if there is no squeeling noise or ratteling. I do not plan to even come close to putting the wrrenty miles on ie 36,000 so if this problem shows up at say 20,000 im solbe3cause ill be out of warrenty or are they still responsible due to the fact they know about the bad TOB. Any info appreciated
You are NOT guaranteed to have the TOB problem.
Ford will replace it if it's under warranty. Just mention TSB 04-13-04.
I'm not sure if they would fix/cover it under warranty after the warranty has expired. That's something you'd have to work out with your dealer. I'm guessing if your relationship with them is pretty good that if it crops up and you mention the TSB, you might be able to get them to warranty it. :shrug:
