4.0 hrs labor from Ford means it will take the tech 2 days SOLID to perform the repair so be prepared to have a loaner or rental lined up before hand.

Keepin' the lights on!
Well, crap! I just installed the thermostat housing heater about 2 months ago. Now it sounds like it calls for a traditional freeze plug block heater. Geez, we now are supposed to plug in at 0°?
Sounds like they are connecting the dots on the whole MPG/slime in the CAC/timing chain wear issue. Knock on wood, my oil level stays right at the full mark.

I'm close to the Continental Divide at about 7000'. It drops below zero more than you would think, at night anyway. At home, the truck is in a 55° garage unless its hooked up to a trailer. At work though, it gets to sit out all night.

Mr. Umimportant
I'm scheduled for this TSB along with a couple minor ones (Sync and Keyless Entry Issues) on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if I actually get the truck back the same day...

My service department tells me that they can't even get the parts to do the work yet so I wouldn't get my hopes up of a quick turnaround. After having my truck for a couple days they gave it back to me untouched and told me they'd call when the parts became available.

So is the fix there just a replacement PVC and the intent to direct the customer to use the engine block heater?
I wonder if dealerships using 10w20 instead of the 30 is affecting things as well? I've read a few posts of people mentioning the dealerships putting in the wrong oil.
