Default WTH does this mean???

While under my truck this morning, I discovered this sticker on my driveshaft.
Truck is out of warranty, and I don't have any driveline problems, but this makes me a bit nervous. Anyone shed any light on this? That's just the letter "F", not an "IF".

Did a search and this popped up. Maybe the "I" and the vertical line in the "F" overlapped or something?

It says "scrap IF dropped". Yours just has a minor typesetting issue. Most every Ford driveshaft I've seen in the last decade (+) says the same thing.

those labels are printed by thermal dot matrix printers on a special heat sensitive paper. Looks like that particular band of the print was out. It most definitely says "IF".


You never seen a receipt from walmart or a restaurant that was all streaky and hard to read???? Its a thermal printer....

Same sticker is on the APIM and probably every other module in our trucks.

I need to be more aware it seems. As many times as I've been under this thing, today was the first time I noticed that. Good to know that info, thanks.
