TSBs?

[ctrlraven]

So I was searching around on info for another vehicle for a friend when I came across edmunds.com recall and tsb lookup, figured I'd give it a quick look and saw these. I'm sure everyone knows about them for 2003 but on Ford's website for recall/tsb lookups it never showed me anything like this

I'm due for my next oil change, should I print this out and show it to the service guy I deal with at my local L/M dealership?

Ford's site will only list TSBs which are applicable, and have not been serviced on your vehicle.



There are over 31 TSBs at this time which apply (meaning not all are directed specifically towards) to the 2004 Marauder.

I can't locate information on the second and third listed TSBs. Here is the first/ 06-05-13:

ACTION:

Diagnose engine for engine misfire concern. If diagnostics determine an engine misfire which is characterized by leakage through exhaust valve(s), only replace the affected cylinder head(s).
SERVICE PROCEDURE


FOR VEHICLES WITH RUNS ROUGH/MISFIRE CONDITION:

Perform relative compression check on all cylinders. If abnormal, check cylinder leakage and actual compression for "low" cylinders refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00.
If leakage/compression check indicates a valve train concern, per valve train diagnostics in WSM, Section 303-00, replace cylinder head and cam assembly, pipe plugs and timing chain tensioner, per procedure outlined in WSM, Section 303-01.
If cylinder leakage and compression tests are inconclusive, perform misfire diagnostic, per TSB 05-22-8. <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="80">NOTE: </td> <td>DO NOT TRANSFER SPARK PLUGS. INSTALL NEW SPARK PLUGS IN REPLACEMENT CYLINDER HEAD AND CAM ASSEMBLY. </td></tr></tbody></table>
