ok, first off dealers are not there to steal from you, 2nd off, a 95 and older we have no acess to key codes. 3rd of 1996 and newer is all we can get codes from, and 1996 is 50/50. for a non pats key we get 3.50 for a pats we get 28.50 we dont charge for code look up .
Not all dealers are whack jobs; just all the ones in my area...
I took my Red cougar in to have the trans fluid changed, and the upgrades flashed, an left with a trans that was pouring fluid out of every orifice...The rear bolts were loose, and despite being charged for the eec flash, it was not flashed, and the secret toy was still in the pan, even tho they charged me for a filter. And they didn't use mercon V, even tho they charged me for it...The smell is kinda unique, you know?
I know the bolts on the tail housing were tight when I took it in, I had just checked them, in prep for changing the fluid myself, until I noticed the versions of the eec program were different on my two cars. So, WTF, let them change it and flash it as well.
I really think they tried to kill my tranny on purpose; If they thought that would make me buy a car from them, they were way off base.
If I could buy a new MN12, then I might think about a new ride...with the BS that ford sells now, it's no wonder they are going under.
end rant...
