Well in 3 more days it will be 1 YEAR since the accident.
FORD kept promising they would get the part 8U9Z-3N058-B all this time. At one point they even told me it had been shipped. Wrong. now the word is that the part is obsolete and no date for if or when they will get a new supplier for the part.
I have checked several RV junk yards and only one says they have one. Not sure if a 2006 part will fit the 2018. If it comes to it, the insurance company may have to shell out close to $1000 to find out.
The FORD parts guy who had the 8U9Z-3N058-B ordered is trying to get a part for the 2020 and above F53 since it looks the same in the parts book. The parts book says it will not fit, guess we will see if and when it comes in.
In the meantime, if you have a F53 chassis 2019 and older, just hope you don't need this part. The new part LU9Z-3N058-B is used on 2020 and later. Guess the Detroit Chassis factory is sucking up all the parts right now and FORD could care less about past customers.
