Send some or all of the rain to me in Gainesville Florida! its been dry, dry. dry here. They keep saying we are in for an unusually bigger hurricane season, yet we are dry. I have a bunch of original Mustang literature from mine. I'll gather it up and see if you want it (free) if you want to...

You mean the ones on TV that have Danica Patrick advertising for them are no good?!? She would not steer me wrong, would she?:shock: I'm now in understanding with the sales manager at my dealership that pushed me trying to get me to buy the extended warranty.

I spent the bucks to be able to read and reset all codes (including brakes and seat belt) type codes for my 2007 Ford F-150. It will not work with the BS, and I have no plans to purchase one for the BS, as I won't have it past its 36 month warranty coverage. My comments are to @Jube

Thanks for following up. This may not be a procedure for the average home mechanic without the proper equipment. Then again, there have been those that come up with a work-around... This part amused me: If you really feel the need to cycle the valves, but do not have access to a service tool...

I looked in the BS Service manual (for electric brake booster) and only found this: Bleeding 1. Carry out the brake system pressure bleeding using the diagnostic scan tool following the on-screen instructions.

Man, I just have to get out and explore more. Fantastic pics, thanks for posting them. And thanks for serving:thumbsup:

I don't see it on the window sticker.

My wife uses another method; This is her version of remote start: It's called goandstartthecarifyouknowwhatsgood

Yep, sounds like the preverbal brakes issue. Search here on brake noise. You will see you are not alone. There is a TSB to correct this issue. Read abut it here...

I see you have a 2012 Boss 302. I miss mine. Sold it about 5 years ago.

Who is the dealership that you don't trust? This would be helpful for others reading this thread to avoid them.

What, me worry?

Do you have the window sticker? If this is the code for that option, it may be there. Also, a call to your sales person could check the vehicles invoice, based off of the VIN.

Blow by? I have yet to hear of this being an issue in the 1.5. Do you have any proof or documentation we can read up on this?

I won't be too far behind you...Just sold my trusty and reliable Ford F-150, and plan to use that as a down payment towards a full size Bronco. Just have to get the wife onboard.

Excellent oil. Came from factory in all Corvettes; good enough for them, good enough for a BS. As others state, might be higher than other good brand full synthetics. I watch my local auto parts store for sales. I wait for Pennzoil, Mobil One, or Castrol, all good full synthetics IMO.

I'd be asking that service adviser why he goes against what Ford indicates in the owners manual under maintenance: "When to Expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED Message Interval: Vehicle Use and Example Normal 7,500–10,000 mi (12,000–16,000 km) Normal commuting with highway driving "When to Expect...

If the flush caused the transmission failure, then you might have a case. However, it may be a tough sell to prove the failure was due to a flush/fluid change. According to a thread on transmission fluid changes on a BS transmission, its not a flush per say, but rather a fluid change. Search...

Who did this transmission flush?

This is usually referred to as a "good faith warranty". I too would be asking for this. If the local dealership cannot/will not help, as to talk to the regional service manager. The local dealership will provide you with that phone number.
