Didn't mean to sound bitchy I just expected better on a brand new $33,000 truck. I'll spend an hour or so tomorrow cleaning it up - I like a tidy engine compartment.

Thanks. It's been a great camera for just about anything I throw at it.

What you are saying does not apply, I think. We are buying from Ford. That's it. Ford is responsible. If there is a problem with THEIR suppliers quality, it is Ford's problem, not Fords customers.

All this ruckus over a little electrical tape? It's not that hard to peel off or retape

I hate this recurring ****ing statement that everyone makes. Yes, it's a $33k truck, it's not a Maybach. Could be worse, it could all be setting on fire like my Silverado.

I don't know what you expect to see from your truck. These guys expect them to have the build quality of a Lexus. Should've bought a Lexus. It's loom tape, not the wiring itself. Loom tape is simply protection from pinching and some levels of heat.

I don't know about bashing the OP. The devil is in the details. If we continue to accept shoddy workmanship we will continue to get shoddy workmanship. I don't care if the item coast $1.98 your reputation is based on the quality of the product period. Flame away boys.
