When is a Ford part NOT a Ford part?

Not really relevant but OEM Ford Powerstoke radiators are still shit btw. My 6.7 just started leaking this week.

Miles? I had a 08 and 09 get two before 100k. The second one in the 09has made it 160k

I've had clutch set ups that stretched cables. Preesure plate to hold power I guess

58k... Mishimoto just came out with an all aluminum radiator for it last month with life time warranty. So that's what I'm replacing it with.

I got ford to cover the radiator at 50k on the 09. Worth a shot

IIRC, Jeff had like 2-3 stock ford cables fail and stretch badly before he got the twin disk clutch.

Might not be the cable.

This cable had gotten too close to the headers at some point and burned up the outer sheath. I don't know if these have a plastic inner sheath that may have melted too. I also forced oil through the cable to try and lube it, but it only helped a little. I don't know what kind of clutch is in it. I have a bum ankle and this one is so hard to push, I am afraid I am going to slip off it and lurch out of control backing out or something. I think it is possibly fraying and jamming up. It already has the quadrant and firewall adjuster. The previous owner installed the firewall adjuster backwards to where it wasn't even adjustable which I since fixed.

Guys, the fact is that you never know what is going to be in a box regardless of what the box says. Aftermarket manufacturers can't keep up with a product, so they'll order a bunch from the dealer and throw them in their boxes. Or the dealer can't keep up so they'll turn to an aftermarket manufacturer and fill their boxes up with. I saw it every day running a parts house. Got into a few ill advised arguments with customers over it through the years when they would bring a Ford part in trying to warranty it out, then I pull a Borg Warner box for the same part number and the one in the box is also Motorcraft.

We buy a ton of new parts, and you'd be surprised to see what we end up with in some cases. Hella makes a bunch of the headlamps for OEM's, and we buy them in bulk, and they have come with a label for whatever it is just like you would find on the dealership shelf. I bought a tail lamp for a miata, and it had the aftermarket label on one end, and the mazda label on the other end.
