#700158January 12, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
SERVICE BULLETIN 95-5-24 WAS SENT TO ME 9 TO 12 MONTHS AGO ON A COOLING SYSTEM ADDITIVE TO ADD TO MY SYSTEM TO PREVENT CORROSION OF THE BLOCK AND EATING THROUGH THE CYLINDER WALLS. I ADDED THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF THIS ADDITIVE, AND HAVE NOT GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT UNTIL MY ENGINE SEIZED UP. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TORN DOWN IT WAS FOUND TO BE CAUSED BY PIN HOLES THROUGH THE CYLINDER WALLS WHICH LET COOLANT WASH DOWN THE CYLINDER WALLS AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND BEND A ROD. CURRENTLY THE ENGINE IS APART UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. FORD TOLD ME THAT EVENTHOUGH THEY DESIGNED A FAULTY SYSTEM, THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, AND THAT IS WHY I AM SENDING THIS TO YOU. ALSO THE BULLETIN CAME OUT IN 95 AND I NEVER RECEIVED A COPY UNTIL LATE 97. I WISH I STILL HAD A COPY OF THE BULLETIN. HOPE YOU CAN HELP!

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
PROBLEM FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION WHEN I STARTED NOTICING A CLUNKING NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE FRONT 4 WHEEL DRIVE HUBS INGAGEING WHEN PROCEEDING FROM A STOP. THE PROBLEM IS QUITE CLEARLY PREMATURE WARE, AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY PROBLEM. AS THE VEHICLE WAS TECHNICALLY OFF WARANTY (6 MONTHS), FORD OFFERED TO PICKUP 1/3 OF THE COST, THE DEALER 1/3, AND MYSELF THE REMAINDER WITH LITTLE DEBATE ABOUT IT. FORD HOWEVER REFUSED TO PICKUP THE REMAINDER OF THE COST.
