So I called the local Ford today to get the exhaust gaskets to go between the cat and flex and the flex and exhaust...well, they don't stock any, so I ask, who might have them, he says hold on, comes back to tell me that...NOBODY IN THE ENTIRE FRICKIN' STATE OF MAINE HAS THESE EXHAUST GASKETS. What is there a friggin' exhaust gasket thief runnin' around, is there some sort of national crisis that demands that all materials that an exhaust gasket is made out of is consumed, WTF? Talk about retarded Ford and their poor showing for customer service.
dude, I had to go to 3 dealerships to get my bearings and drums. I went to buy the bearings kit that contains everything you need for both wheels. guy tells me no such thing exists even though Ive seen it and held it in my fricken hand. So I have to buy them seperately. But he only has one. Have to drive across the way to get another one from a mercury dealer whop of course, only has one. After cocking up the job and breaking the drums I had to get 2 new drum assemblys. After fighting with yet another idiot about what ford does and does not sell, I get a drum and hub assembly. But of course they only have one. So back to the first deal I go to get the other drum. Which is of course, the only one he has. You would think that things like wheel bearings and drums would be stocked in pairs. How often does someone replace only one bearing or one drum? fuckers. I feel ya.
Tried Meineke and no go, they don't stock this gasket either, the luck was I could reuse the two stock ones, they were in great shape, but I still needed one more for the rear piece of the exhaust, thank goodness for RTV high temp silicone gasket goop
