    Fuzzy, Do you think there's a possibility of Fain & Co "rotating the pain", and allowing MAP to go back to work, but then close one of the F-150 plants? This way, more of the Membership shares in the sacrifices. HRG

    So where is next, Flint or Ft Wayne? HRG

    Heck, look at how the made in China Buick Envision far outsells the made in Kentucky USA Lincoln Corsair,,,, HRG

    Dang, that looks familiar! Best of luck, HRG

    Don't confuse the block design problem with the EGR valve issue, that also results in coolant loss. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10177867-0001.pdf HRG

    Ask your dealer to look at the July 2023 C&I Programs for Retail Ordered Vehicles document, that provides the information you are looking for. I have seen it, but I am not authorized to share it. HRG

    He's already indicated that he does not have a rollover, he has a new order. I think he may be asking if his price is locked-in at time of order, and not subject to mid-year price increase. Maybe? HRG

    Understood, but they're working 40 hours. Not 32, but expecting to be paid at the 40-hour rate. HRG
  11. HotRunrGuy
    I get the hiring more people part, and everyone gets 3-day weekends, it's the 40-hour pay demand that has me stymied. HRG
  12. HotRunrGuy
    OK, I obviously have trouble with comprehension, so could someone explain to me the rational behind the 32-hour workweek at 40-hour pay? By my math, that's a 26% per hour increase, independent of whatever wage increase is negotiated. How is this even possible to ask for? HRG

    If Google Maps can be believed, it looks like the steel that was once up is now gone,,,,, https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/01/05/508287656/canceled-ford-plant-adds-to-mexicos-economic-frustrations HRG

    Right now in my driveway I have a made in Canada Edge, and a made in Mexico Maverick. As much as I wanted to order a made in USA '24 Ranger, and waited years for the latest update, the cost was too much to accept. I can't imagine that USA-made products won't see an additional MSRP increase as a result of whatever the new contract costs. HRG

    Are you kidding? You want to take the right of approval out of the hands of the members? At 73%, they've told the negotiators to go do a better job. HRG

    It's been a while, but I used to be proud to be able to provide my talent and "swing a hammer" for that organization, until I realized they were more interested in a financial contribution than a physical one. HRG

    Did you read the NHTSA.Gov pdf linked above? 809 engines have been replaced (so far). HRG
  18. HotRunrGuy
    809 engine replacements sounds like it was more than just Bronco failures, which is all we really heard about last year. HRG

    per the 2024 Order Guide, page #1, it is only available in the "standard" length. HRG

    Going back to this 2019 Highlight, why are the ratification bonuses and lump sum payments not being included in the conversation? Seems like people are ONLY looking at the hourly pay rate. https://uaw.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/56100-UAW_hourly-1.pdf HRG

    On the contrary, Tacoma sales INCREASED when Ranger was re-introduced for the 2019 MY. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/toyota-tacoma-sales-figures/ HRG

    For our travels between CHI and DFW, we had a 12V TV/VCR combination that was strapped down on the center console/armrest. We'll be there in 2 more movies,,,,,, HRG

    As well as moving more production out of the country,,,,, HRG

    Dealers by me are still asking $5K+ markups on Mav, even the non-hybrid ones. HRG
  25. HotRunrGuy
    Agreed, but where's the proof that Lincoln is profitable? Platform sharing is one thing, but consider all the bespoke tooling for exterior panels, interior components (seats, dash, door panels), unique powertrain offerings, at these volumes? It's tough to imagine they make the profit some would like to believe they do. HRG
