Ask a Ford dealership tech anything

Why does Ford use so many different bolt sizes? 5.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc

For the different sized holes...

But seriously I have no idea, when you work on alot of Ford you begin to be able to just look at the bolt and tell right away so it doesn't seem like alot once you get use to the common sizes

I was working on a hyundai the other day and i kept grabbing the wrong sized sockets

Give me one good reason to buy any of your rust buckets.

How's the job do you like it ?

I have a 2017 f350 dually (rwd) that veers left, if I want to go straight on the highway i have to have the wheel turned off center to the right. Is this just an alignment issue?
and one of the dealerships I went to said they don't have a big enough alignment rack for my truck, how true is this.

What services are bullshit?

I guess that would depend on what you're looking for ( car, truck, performance, C-max etc etc)
It has it's ups and down, during busy season I bust my ass and make good money but the slow season kinda sucks. Ford is in a weird place right now with recall pay times/ warranty pay times where it almost feels like they ant to see how low they can drop them before people revolt. On the main fordtech facebook group people are quitting and calling it the mass exodus due to how many people are leaving.

Possible alignment or suspension component issue, if it's a 2017 you'll still be in base warranty so just go to a dealer that does larger trucks
We don't really have any bullshit serivces at our dealer, management/ foremans are strict about that. We have had a few guys who reccommend caliper services when not required.

Ketchup or mustard?
