It is rust preventative.

He is up in NorCal so farther away than @Chris142

I'm probably closer to Glendale than you are. But alas, I don't know anyone in the area

Now if they only had an additive that would prevent people from putting DEF in their fuel.

Depends on the year. The 2v ones shot out, the 3v ones broke off until 2007ish.

If you ask the parts department nicely, they can give them to you once Ford says to scrap the part. We have to wait until we are given disposition by Ford to either scrap or return for inspection.

For tax purposes a residence. Some business happens there, but it is a house with a small detached garage.

One of my freinds has a BBQ at his place in Santa Ynez almost every Friday, @slo town the invitation stands, since we are grown up and our backs hurt too much to stand in the In N Out Burger parking lot. We usually do tri-tip, chicken, and ribs on most days and sometimes pasta or taco night...

I enjoy living where I live and really can't complain about the weather. This is considered abnormally hot for us. If I ever moved I would miss my friends deeply.

Possible fire danger if there is a backfire. Since they don't have EVAP systems, you can clicky click a diesel, but I don't since the initial fill is painful enough.

With newer Fords it would be easy since they are mostly all connected vehicles. On a newer Ford I can go into OASIS and it will tell me the current mileage, fuel/DEF level, tire pressures, oil life, and 60 days worth of DTC history.

Lisle 17892 Transmission Drain Pan is a life and floor saver. Especially when you are like me and have terrible aim when draining. Also the Lisle 38780 22" Square No-Splatter Pad is pretty awesome to keep splashing at bay.

I've heard a lot of dealers are slowly coming back online. Now comes the fun part of keypunching all of the hand written ROs and parts invoices as well as trying to post parts invoices and shippers and verifying on hand inventory.

Thankfully we are on DealerTrack and only sales is getting impacted since CDK runs Ford's eLeads thing for leads on sales. My manager was on vacation all week and the only time we texted was when I told him I wouldn't let a shop that habitually bounces checks float a $6K part even after they...

Back to the memes (not mine)

Technically it isn't parts on shelves. It is little stacks of the dealer owner's money slowly shrinking over time and then growing with each sale. Fortunately my family has a strong work ethic that I got to see growing up with my grandpa working at Aero Spacelines then Tracor (Boeing before...

Also to expand, having a functional DMS makes stock orders a lot easier. I just go in to create a daily stock order after doing special orders and it pulls up everything not at the stocking level we want based on the sales parameters we have set. I also run a "Daily out of stock" report that...

We don't need a functional DMS to place orders with Ford or Mazda. They have their own websites where we go in to place the actual orders. It just makes it a lot easier to create an order in DealerTrack/CDK, save it as a CSV/TXT and upload it to that site. All the part numbers, quantities...

I do not follow the Kardashians haha. Plus whenever I do make memes I do it on my lunch break using my data plan. Totally unrelated I just went to 192.168.1.1, typed in "admin" and "password" and had access to our customer wifi admin.
