except that doesn't sell. It would become dead inventory and ford penalizes us for dead inventory. I have 0 sales history on all 3 of those items

 

With proper maintenance, it's quite possible none of those parts will need to be replaced. Case in point: My 270K-mile '99 had the original IAC, EGR, and water pump when it pulled the top off a valve and went ker-chunka-ker-chunka-ker-phlooey.

 

With the edit, I have no idea what you mean.

 

Those items you listed, are mostly available thru the Motorcraft warehouse and can be easily gotten by the dealer. Ours is Factory Parts here in Anchorage. Matter of fact, when I ordered my 5.4 replacement engine thru Kendall Ford, it was delivered by FP here. Kendall Ford picked it up for the core.

DJ. I used to hate yearly obsolescence returns.

 

Aren't those all in the wrong positions? The brown being on the other end to start? Cables aren't my strong suit If I even have one. LOL

 

ford did away with them actually. They give dealers a certain dollar amount to scrap every 1/4. We just throw the stuff out if we don't sell ot

 

That is so much better. I tend to remember that was happening before I left. The freight returns were too high from Alaska to Cali. Glad to see that.

 

I can tell ive been doing it for a while when i see numbers that I used to sell the hell out of and now they get scrapped

 

The connector was put on upside down. This will cause a Meraki AP to become a repeater because it can't resolve an IP address. I found two of them wired like that since 2014. The cable was like this:

12345678 on one end
87654321 on the other

 

Ya, EGR or IAC valves, just pull them out and clean them with carb cleaner. How would you prolong a water pump's operating life ?
A mechanic who owned a 10th gen F150 replaced his water pump in the shop, where he was working on it with 225 000 + km's. He sold the truck at 250 000 km's.
Being a mechanic, he would know all the in's & out's of proper maintenance.
