glroy Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Monday delivery has now turned in to Thursday and of course it has to be the trucking company's fault. When will theses dealers learn underpromise and overdeliver once you sign on the line the shitty service starts. Oh well more time to add to my list. I am taking delivery tomorrow what to look for. have instructed to Ensure original window sticker is on car and not damaged Do not wash car or remove any of the factory plastic protection. (basically no PDI cleanup) Do not install Front license plate bracket Do not install front splitter Do not put any dealer stickers on it what I should check for 3 piece splitter in trunk convertible boot in trunk license plate bracket in trunk owners manual undercarriage for damage paint with a fine tooth comb panel fits (I know it is a Ford how OCD should I be??) Tape it and drive home Edited December 5, 2012 by glroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer-Ted Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Make sure the master cylinder is not overfilled. If it is, it may leak out around the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy49 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Check wheels for damage, chipped paint, scratches or dings. Check any place that could come into contact with the transporter., front splitter, exhaust tips, rear valance, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch40 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Be there when the truck pulls up. Otherwise you have no guarantee the dealer will do or not do anything on your list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporDude Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Have them take the tag off the drive shaft or do it when you get it home. If you have the Shaker Pro, check to make sure the sub is not scratched from the splitter box being shoved in the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a good job with the prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
