I have a friend at work who called me the other day before I left the office. Her old 165K mile F150 just cut off in traffic on her way home. I went to help her and the fuel pump wasn't running. I checked the intertia switch and relay and they were ok, so I told her the pump went out. We pushed it to a parking lot and I gave her a ride home. Her hubby had it towed to a shop and the fuel pump is ok but the shop said it's something in the ignition/column and too complicated for them (said to take it to dealer). They did get it to start but it is intermittent so they can't trust driving it (she drives R/T 50+ miles a day to work). She is saving to take it to the dealer (they have some $$ issues) and I thought I'd ask you fellas if anyone knows a good Ford mechanic in Dallas who might go a little easier on them than the dealer. She lives in Pleasant Grove and works in Richardson so somewhere between would be nice. Any ideas or referrals to a good shop would be appreciated. Very sweet lady so I'd love to help her out! Mike
