ok, so the lady told me that back in 98, the part was replaced...however, when i went to walker ford, they said it was NOT replaced and that the recall was still open. but then they called me and said the car was no longer under warranty, so they couldnt do it for free. so the lady called the original dealership that did the original recall change on the intake manifold, and she thinks they installed a used part, meaning she could sue the shit out of them if they did, and it wasnt recorded...all in all, someone's fux0r3d
