MikeyD Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I've mentioned this on my other post as part of my problem, but I'm reaching out to Ford Employees on here who can tell me what's up with this so called "redesign" of the engine cooling fan?? The corporate guy is telling me there are no bulletins released from engineering so he has no time line on when it will be ready?? Please help...is this true or smoke screen?? And can I call him out on it? He also said the current fan is not in stock ANYWHERE in the country!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillSD Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Two application choices (would need last 8 of VIN to get specific part #): DB5Z-8C607-A or DB5Z-8C607-B . Both are on national backorder due to "late engineering change". DB5Z-8C607-A estimated off backorder on 5/28/2014. There is no listed inventory of either number at the part distribution centers (PDC). There is listed stock of the DB5Z-8C607-A at 44 locations nationwide including one each at factory authorized distributors (FAD) in Sacramento and San Jose.

MikeyD Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hey thanks so much into looking into this for much appreciated. Here is the last 8 of my VIN: EGB53864 I have a feeling my part will be "B" but let's see. If it's "A" are you saying there are some in stock in sac and sj? Are those the redesigned p/n's or just left covers prior to redesign? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If a part is being redesigned, they're probably not going to continue to ship replacement until they exhaust stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe3w Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Richard, are you saying they would install defective parts to replace a defective part just to exhaust stock? Edited May 11, 2014 by coupe3w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 No. All of the parts in the warehouses are replacement parts, and I doubt that if they have stock on hand that they are shipping out, that those parts are being redesigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillSD Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 MikeyD -- Your hunch was correct; your vehicle takes the DB5Z-8C607-B . As stated earlier, there is no listed stock of this number in the nation (PDC / FAD / dealer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
