The $600 fun money will be administered through each states unemployment processing. In some not all states Ford has an agreement with unemployment services to automatically trigger SUB. I`m sure everything will workout just fine. In the mean time cash those checks MTP`er & Fuzzy

New light & medium duty news
7Mary3 replied to Joe771476's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Even if medium duty does have a short life, this is good news: https://www.truckinginfo.com/354833/2020-medium-duty-truck-of-the-year-ford-f-650 Pretty good considering there is not much new other than the 7.3L. I might be in the market for a medium duty (rollback car carrier) and I hope the F-650 is still around if/when I am in the market. Also hope by that time the 650 has the current aluminum Super Duty cab on it. - Yesterday

We pay enough in taxes so why don't we get an opinion?Those buyout checks are gonna have to compete with Ford`s other expenses.It aint good timing.Ford Motor is not Apple or Amazon corp.When I read the buyout details there was no guarantee as to when the bonus check would arrive.My guess is Ford will have until the end of the year to pay.You will just have to wait and see but you will get it eventually.Labor Relations at the plant or local union reps are not the ones making the decision as to when the checks get cut.I would guess the Chief Financial Officer of Ford Motor would be the guy to ask.

I am gonna guess that the $600 would be added to the States payout and that may equal at least 74% of your take home of 40 hours before taxes.If that is the case then SUB is off the hook because SUB is the guarantee of 74% of 40 hours before taxes be paid to the employee.I see how if/when we get $600 from the Feds and if that $600 + the States portion of unemployment, = at least 74% of 40 hours then SUB is owed to us or is payed at a lesser amount.If an employee was already paid based on NOT getting the $600 then I assume that would be an over payment once the $600 kicks in.

The article also mentions the hybrid will get at least 10 miles of electric range.

I've asked that same question to various people and have yet to get an answer

Ford rediscovers 1966 Mustang mid-engine concept
mackinaw replied to mackinaw's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
It may have been a skunkworks project with only a few people working on it. It's also been 54 years. I'd guess that anybody who did work on it have long since retired. Some (all?) may have passed away too. -
Yes, the Lariat will get the upgraded cluster and larger screen. XL, XLT will not get the digital cluster. The big center screen will probably be an option? Don't know how they will make a smaller screen look good in that large space but we'll probably see that in the next few months.

Ford rediscovers 1966 Mustang mid-engine concept
Bob Rosadini replied to mackinaw's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Hard to believe Ford doesn't have some sort of annuitants newspaper? How about it Olwiz? I would think there should be quite a few people who would have worked on this. -
I will check what an RTD meter is. On my mountaineer the low side is really cool to the touch. The Navigator's low side is cool to the touch, as the mountanieer is very cold to the touch. I attached photo of the mountaineer low side readings.

Got sub pay today. When does the government $600 kick in? And am I going to have to pay back sub if Feds pay from first week off?

I don't remember the Escort diesel. But I do remember the mid-80's Tempo diesel.

The fronts are, but I thought the backseats had head rests too. I had 1986 Escort GT as my first car.

Old Ford V8's just wont Die
fuzzymoomoo replied to mackinaw's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
It's a 1996 right? That was VERY common for that generation. The ones with the chrome trim on the wheel wells tended to fare better than the rest of them. Probably had better drainage due to the fasteners. -
Yes; the 1991's were so much nicer than the previous versions in my opinion. Better looking and ready to go right out of the box. For a small dealer, we sold quite a few 1991 GT's.

The statements are a bit confusing to me. The only mention King Ranch and up as getting the upgraded interior materials. But then they go on to show the Lariat. So is the Lariat getting the upgraded interior too? Past Lariats to me, seemed to be very similar to a King Ranch. Roughly the same level in my opinion. Not unless they are widening that gap a bit in future models.

Fumoto works great, in case you want to use this solution.

I was about to ask how that helps since the oil would just spill out when you unscrew it, but I see now it has a check valve that doesn't open until you screw on the hose. Pretty neat design. I have the plastic pan and plug on my F150 and it couldn't be easier. Just unscrew the plug with a small pliers and you can control the flow of oil by how far you pull out the plug, so no splashing and it doesn't get on your hands. No leaks so far either.

Those point and shoot thermometers are only for a larger area. Our Fluke model can only focus in on about a five inch area. The laser is to center your measurement but the collection area is much wider. You are most likely reading the temperatures behind the refrigerant line and it is averaging. If you want accuracy you should use an RTD or at lease a thermocouple wire. Wrap it on the low side refrigerant line with tape to you don't get the ambient air.

Alright, saw Scotty Kilmer touting this. Looks even better than using the Mighty Vac. Drain the oil once the old fashioned way then this looks pretty clean and easy to do for subsequent changes. https://www.valvomax.com/products/valvomax-quick-twist-valve?variant=31835835629677
