just got my check from ford for $790.65...... i had it replaced in 04 and had to give a reciept to get the check. anything over 7 years and no reciept = no money.

Ok i'm outdated on the subject..... Last I read this thread a few months ago I could not get refund the money I spent changing my intake because my car a 97 GT which was made the month before the "defective intakes" were installed. So can I get it. I don't have any receipts, I threw them away because I thought I just had to bite the bullet. So can I or can I not get it, because I see some people are getting it?

take your car to the local ford dealer and give them your vin# to see if your car is eligible. if it is, you will need a receipt for replacement otherwise you wont get anything, since your car is over 7 years old.
