2024 Mustang GT A/C belt broke

[Paul's stable]

I ordered a part ~2 months ago. Was told it was on national backorder with no ETA.

A couple weeks after I ordered it, I received the part.

So, yes, sometimes people DO care and DO put more than 2 minutes of thought into it.

I'm curious did you go back to the same dealer? If you did sounds like their parts man was sleeping. But I am of the opinion that people who care started dying off about 10 years ago. But at least you got your parts.

"Ignore" is a good option here. Some people in the industry think they know everything. As someone who's fixed their mistakes the past 40 years, it's a lot of hot air and ego and you'll always run into one on an internet forum.

Except I DO know far more about our products that you do.

Nobody fixed our mistakes because they weren't our mistakes. Swing and a miss.

Another thin skinned one bites the dust!

I only used one dealer. I ordered it from varsityfordparts.com, which is actually a local dealership for me. They notified me less than 2 weeks after the initial national backorder/no ETA e-mail to tell me it was there and ready to be picked up.

Wow that sucks they didn't even call you. Like I said know one cares anymore.

Oh, no, I was perfectly happy.

Within hours after the order was placed, I received the e-mail that it was on B/O.

When it came in, they e-mailed me right away.

No need for phone calls here ...

Like I said I'm glad you got the parts in the end.

I had the left rear outer half shaft boot defective with hole in it. Grease everywhere. Lucky the replacement came in a week. The tech made a few mistakes, chipped the red paint off the Brembo calipers. Over torqued the lugs and left a bolt half out.
Great service.

Hey, but those dealership techs know more about those components than the folks who manufacture them, right?

Does it look like one of these?

As the dealer to give you the P/N you need, @Conde_06
