So what do I half to do?
Im just trying to understand the TSB. I Never had a warranty on my Lightnig i bought Her used. Now Is this like the TSB with the brake fluid res(that was a no cost warranty Fix)? So If I called my local Ford dealer and said I want the TSB 07-15-2
5.4L 2V AND 6.8L 2V MODULAR ENGINE SPARK PLUG THREAD OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR ALUMINUM HEADS. Will they change out/modify the spark plug threads all 8 or, is this something they will do if and or when I blow a plug? at no cost?.. Thanks for Information! Brian

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a TSB is just a notice to the techs on how Ford wants them to do the job and it's not usually free work right?
edit: just saw the post saying it was free parts and labor, awesome

TSB's perform three primary functions.
1) Informative/Instructive: These types of TSB's add information that is
normally not needed in the owner's manual but may be necessary to
operate/program an additional accessory or perform a certain duty.
2) Dealer preparation: These types of TSB's give specific instructions as to
how to handle certain types of situations.
3) Modifications: This type of TSB is used for a wide variety of reasons. Some
can be as innocent as a new replacement part or modification for an item that
is non-crucial in the safety and integrity of the vehicle, to actual
modifications of the truck that is involved with a major component.
This type of TSB released is sometimes done in place of a recall.
In general, TSB's that are performed by the dealership while the vehicle is
under warranty usually will be done for free.
There are times in which a TSB that is done to your vehicle is not covered
under warranty and you can be charged for parts and labor. The TSB will then state that otherwise.

OH Great I just seen this thread and i paid $415.00 for a new insert last week!:bash:
Re-Stickied!
Have more people gotten this fix done? I called a Ford service department and they said that 07-15-2 is not a valid TSB number and that all TSBs have to be paid for out of warranty. Is there any reason that I missed why I can't still get this done? Thanks for any insight.
