I also am having them investigate the 2-3rd gear grind
took about 2 hours and they both items fixed and I was well on my way! No noticable changes with the recall work.

I'm on the list. Question: are the exhaust rattle folks due to having manual transmissions? I've got an auto and I haven't experienced the rattle (knock on wood). How long will this recall work take? If it is just software related, it can't take much time, can it?

Printed out the info from the link provided by jrys (Thank you!!) and stopped by the dealer this morning. They looked at the printout, plugged in my VIN, brought up the recall, and took care of it immediately. Now that is customer service.

a short and light female.
Long answer:
I'm not sure for automotive use but I've seem this term used in my work before. In this case they were looking at the 95th percentile male for checking human system interaction with systems and spaces (does the guy fit into a given space and can he operate in that space). In this case this referes to a tall/heavy guy such that only 5% of the male population would be taller/heavier. I'll assume the 5th percentile female is a short/ligher woman such that only 5% of the female population is ligher/shorter. My guess for cars is is they test the airbag system with both to bound the solution.

The dealership just called me here at work and wanted me to make an appointment first thing Saturday. They'll make a little $$$ off of me - I think I will have the oil changed. Is 2,780 miles to early to rotate the tires?
I was thinking about the TSB about the exhaust rattle, but it hasn't done anything. Should I bother having the dealer do the TSB or just leave it alone until (or if) the rattle ever surfaces?

Usually dealers won't "fix" something as a preventative measure. If your car is not affected by the TSB, I doubt your dealer will touch it.

Mine is not on the list - For once!!! Thank God!! Over 79,000 miles and counting!
My good friend's stang is on the list though. What do they have to do to fix this? Does it require removal of the dash?
