by

>Period! And I will be sure to advise anyone contemplating a purchase from

>I will mention the other problems that the truck is having, and the
inability

>doesn't fit, rotors out of round, clunking noise in steering, leaking rear
>transmission seal, drive shaft vibration, defective headlamp switch, and

to

I
>have to live with.

>Its a sad day indeed when I contemplate the purchase of a new Ford
Lightning

>Once again, I am unhappy...........really.

> i ordered a r/t and a lightning because the dealer said he could sell
either one i did not want the next day. the r/t came in first and blew
tranny to pieces on test drive with salesman. i decided to pass on the r/t.
lightning is due in 2 weeks, it is going to have to be pretty bad to top
the r/t's problems. dealer told me the r/t was fitted w/new tranny and sold
as new. i have a ram v-10 1994, the first year body style, first year v-10.
i have over 20 recalls, cc seems to let your dealer handle problems that
should have been taken care of at factory, the only good thing so far w/ferd
is that lightning problems that come up have delayed shipments (way behind)
so the problems are being fixed in canada, at the assy line, not at your
local dealer, who has seen as many of these trucks as you have.
