Default Anybody get a letter from Ford RE: an emmisions evaluation?

I got a letter from Ford and Roush requesting permission to run my truck on a dynometer as part of an extended emissions evaluation and test. They're offering a little cash and a fusion while they test it.

I live close to Ford HQ and my gut tells me it has to do with the EB CAC issue.

No vehicle will. They are in open loop. Nothing is operating efficiently on a cold start.

Here's the letters I got. I'm going to return the postcard and I'll post if they accept.

The 'repairs or adjustments' part would worry me if the vehicle was running fine before they got their hands on it.

The timing is odd. I just got in on the CAC TSB wait list a week ago. My dealer is waiting for parts. I should mention its a 2012 ecoscrew.

Personally I would not do it. 5-10 days and maybe longer?
I get to drive a fusion?

All for $100.00


My terms:

Guarantee my truck back within 5 days or add $100/day.

Use of a 2013 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang while they have my truck.
At the very least, a 2013 Raptor.
