Im trying to get some 4.10 gears, and the guy up here tells me they dont exist, ford doesnt make them. I didnt feel like arguing with him, so I went home and looked up the part #. I called back and asked them to just locate the part number, to try and make it easy as possible for this guy.
after a long period of silence he asks what car, and when I said mustang 4.10 gears, he says "man i already told you ford doesn't make 4.10s,only 3.27 and 3.55. you have to get aftermarket ones." this experience, coupled with other times I have been there for warranty work, leads me to the conclusion that this dealership is just retarded.
I think im going to take the empty box and just walk in there and set it on the counter and leave without saying a word.

ford RACING is not ford parts.

Why would you try to get anything performance related at a dealership anyways?
Here is the only link you need bro:
http://www.summitracing.com/
Order it before 2 or 3 pm and have it the next working day.

mmm, wittmeyer. Aholes sold me a bad solenoid for my wifes car which we later found out was under recall. He tried to refuse a refund stating their is no warranty on electrical parts.
Oh, this all took place in about 15 minutes.

true, but to tell me they dont exist and to not go any further with me is another thing. I called up the ford dealership in fairfield, and while they dont have them bc they arent a ford racing dealer, they were able to get them from a dealership that was. good customer service FTW!

thats stupid.. some parts guys just don't know too much. all they can do is look in the computer.. they don't really know cars...if u ever run into that again, tell them to call serramonte ford and get it from them.. thats where most ford dealers around here get the ford racing stuff from( if they don't have it already)...
