I laughed at that...

A friend of mine brought his car to the ford stealer in howard lake or cokato, i don't remember, they told hm he needed new rear shocks, his bushings where shot, he needed new rear brakes, a new tire, and some other crap.

He brought it to me before he took it there, and, asked me what I thought it was, I told him it was a ball joint or a tie rod end, the place replaced the tie rod end and no probs since...

I dunno...it seems they let anyone be ford certified...I should try, and, not even crack a book....do they even require you to know how to read?

good luck that was one of the most involved classes iv had to go through, i was also at one time going through welding/fab school and that was nothing compared to the ford asset course. i have the global boot disk and electronic steering susp test on mmd you should try it. it took me and the other fastest kid 3 weeks to pass the test. most took the full two month session to finish( 2month in class 2 months in dealership)
