I FAXED THE ARTICLE TO THE SHOP REPAIRING MY TRUCK. HENRY MILLS, MILLS AUTOMOTIVE, MARSHALL, MISSOURI, INSPECTED THE VECHICLE, CALLED ME BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY INFORMING THAT THIS SECTOR HAD BROKE ON MY TRUCK. HE CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHO I UNDERSTAND WENT AND LOOKED AT THE VECHILE AND INFORMED MR. MILLS THAT FORD HAD NOT ISSUED ANY BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. I DECIDED I SHOULD BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF YOUR FINDINGS.I*AK
