j hancock Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 As I am weaving through a Ford dealer's lot the other day in search for another F-250, I came across a rare piece. The window sticker on the pass. side indicated gasoline but as I did a walk around, the driver's door had a diesel emblem...? Ooops! Good thing it is only double sided tape. Reminded me when a friend bought a 1989 Chevrolet stepside brand new and one rear fender said 4 X 4 and the other side said Z 71. He didn't notice the difference until he got home!

Whether or not that actually made any difference is anybody's guess. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had trouble from almost day one with that truck. The dealer did all they could for him even passing along factory paperwork that he should not have had. When he looked up the dates the truck was started and finished it was Friday morning to Monday afternoon. .....Hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I always heard you should always buy a vehicle that was made on a Wednesday. Supposedly Monday’s people aren’t on their A game and by Friday they are both tired and don’t give a crap because it’s the weekend. Not sure if there’s any actual proof of this but it seems plausible.

I just don't know if they would actually respect Mr. Moore's wishes that he not get a truck that was made on Friday or Monday or if it was "you'll take what you get".

Freightrain Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 From the stories I got from my sister, employees are hit and miss. She was HR over the Romeo Ford Engine Plant. Oh, the stories I heard. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
