Ford said they wouldn't change my rear gears.

I e-mailed my local ford dealership service dept. and asked them about changing out my gears, because a guy from canada had his changed out at his local ford dealer for about $200.00 U.S. dollars, which was about 4 hours of labor, not a bad price. So i e-mailed my ford dealer about changing my gears, well later yesterday the dealership mailed me back and said,"we can't change your rear gears because of E.P.A GUIDLINES and Regulations". I've never heard of such a thing, has anyone else?

go to a tuner shop, they will charge you less or the same if you use the power of negotiation

Well when i heard about this guy having his changed out at ford for about $200.00 i couldn't really believe the price, mabey it's a canadian vs. american ford dealer policies thing. I guess i'll check on having gears changed out at Dallas Mustang.

if you get gears installed by Ford and something in the drivetrain breaks that normally would be covered under warranty, would they still give you a hassle over the gears and blame it on the gears?

sounds like the ford dealership was blowing smoke...

THere blowing smoke man. My dealer did my gears for me. It helps that my friend works in the parts department. But still. I got a sweet deal 200$ including parts.

You're in Dracut, I'm in Lowell... think you could hook me up a little?

I've been wanting to get 4.10's but didn't find a good install price in MD... So I'm waiting for this spring before shopping around again $200 is an insane price, heck that's the price of gears and speed recal...

Ford doesn't warranty aftermarket parts including Ford Racing parts.

$220 bucks for the swapp at a specialized shop, and it took just 1 hour while I was waiting!

That's why they wouldn't change your gears. Find someone else
