Keith Browning Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Have a 5.4L Econoline in that the customer drove with a failed FEAD belt tensioner until the belt failed. The pulley cut a nice circle in the front cover almost all the way through. It leaks oil now that I removed the pulley from the cover.

Keith Browning Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ohhhhh ho ho ho no my friend. Not this customer. It's a "Geek Squad" truck (Circuit City?) with one of those fucking fleet service warranty/contracts. The last time I saw this truck it got a long block due to not changing the oil in 23 thousand miles. Covered! It's the drivers that keep pushing it until it breaks. How long do you think they were hearing the noise it was making? It reminds me of all those Ryder trucks with the million mile warranty.

lmorris Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Geek Squad here is Best buy and Future shop. The driver probably had the stereo cranked anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredsvt Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hey, looks familiar! This one came off a V10. The kid who owns the truck did this, then didn't change the oil for about 30k and ran it out of oil till it spit a rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
