Haha, Up until last year I wouldnt even consider buying a ford.
Their new cars plus the euro ones coming to the states soon (hopefully) are a different story though.

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys, ill post once I get it back today.

An chance my gas mileage will go up or engine run smoother since technically the timing will be better than it has been in a long time if the chain has been stretching?

Everything should definitely run smoother after the repair is done. If you saw a loss in mpg's during the problem then you will of course see the mpg's come back up.

MPG has never been good. I prob average 15 if im lucky.
Idle has been slightly off for a few months maybe. Also has been a little noisier at startup in the cold lately too. We'll see... they STILL havent called me. Been two full days now, first of which was teardown only for them because the part wasnt stocked. They are open till 8 tonight so hopefully i get the call.
