ok, SFCEd, I detected what seemed like sarcasm in your response...add in the crying icon and maybe I did misread your comment......if that is in fact the case, then I apologize, I have seen too many times on this board comments like yours that were childish and unnecessary. I think we have a good argument against Ford on this one. I have owned many cars in my life and have never seen body mounts rot out like this....motor mounts, yes....but not body mounts, especially on a freakin truck.......................JohnJR....I went with original Ford replacements....not sure if they are exact duplicates...the shop mgr. noticed a difference...but they are still the yellow sponges as far as I am concerned and there is no official acknowledgment of any upgraded replacements...I only had the 4 yellow sponges replaced for that price...but some dealers will tell you that you need to replace them all....I am proof that its not true....sad that Ford dealers want to make money on this deal...I had quotes over $1300....by the way...my dealer said he had never seen this before...other dealers said they heard of a few cases....I think they are well aware of it and trying to cover it up....Mr. Colon, again, my sincere apology for my misunderstanding your post....as I am totally pissed about this and a few other issues, although minor, that plague each and every one of these trucks in 5 model years....why they continue to build known problems into their vehicles boggles the mind...like the tranny flare which I had...the leaking third brake light, peeling paint on the roof which I have yet to get fixed, the power window issues, the goodyear tire wear issue, ball joints, fading rear bumper cover, etc. etc..all of which happened within the first few years....my truck is never off road, its an 03 with only 65000 highway miles..never towed a thing.. all of us had these same problems yet Ford did nothing to address them during production..5 model years is plenty of time to address these minor build quality issues.....in fact the newer Gen V8 six speed tranny had even more problems.....where is this quality I so much want to believe in.....lord knows I don't want a toyota or that ugly honda for my next truck, and I don't need or want an F150..actually looking at the Nissan....come on Ford....quit acting like toyota and fess up.
