| 1997 | POWER TRAIN | MY FORD 150 WAS PURCHASED WITH THE 504 LITER ENGINE AND ALTHOUGH IT IS A 1997 MODEL HAS ONLY 19000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS AN ENGINE OIL LEAK THAT HAS BEEN ROUGHLY DIAGNOSED AS THE MAIL SEALS BOTH FRONT AND REAR. I HAVE SPENT $300.00 TO REPLACE THE FRONT SEAL AND THE REAR SEAL HAS BEEN QUOTED TO ME AS ANOTHER $600.00. I FEEL FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AS I DOUBT MINE IS THE ONLY OCCURANCE OF THIS TYPE. |
