There has been next to no failures here in Waynesville missouri. I've replaced one turbo, and thats the extent of it.

Shane and I are good friends...I use to preach the same sermon...I talked my daughter into buying a 6.7 and drove it 1500 miles home from Texas...Read my story. All the facts are there. Is your chance of having Ford abandon you with a denied $9200 warranty claim small? Maybe...but do you feel lucky today.
I have had to search my soul over this change of position on the Ford 6.7 truck. In the 15 months I have owned the truck, I have thank you emails and phone calls from over 25 owners who bought these trucks after personal conversations and private emails with me. I am unable to make such recommendations at this point. Ford has abandoned the very principles that their founder, Henry Ford, espoused. He knew that customer satisfaction and good customer service were the keys to success. This attitude does not exist at Ford today. If you buy one of these trucks, be aware that if you are one of the unlucky ones, you will be treated with the same lack of respect. This is unacceptable to me...I would think many others would agree.

I didn't want to point this out but a lot of guys can't see the big picture.
Cloudy is the word I like to use.
AGAIN, NOONE blames Rick for being mad...I would be also.
But sometimes it's difficult to type here and be FACTUAL without adding emotions....and from what I saw it was getting worse.\
But, Like I said earlier...Who am I?
NOONE!! Just my Opinion.
Probably lost a friend in the process....

I prefer to hear the bad and the good and hope Rick sticks around. It may come to be that we'll get even more info about the cause of the failure and that can only benefit us, even if it is something we'd rather not hear.

I have owned mine for about 7 months now and have close to 11,000 miles on it. So far, it has been nothing but a pleasure to own. I am fortunate that my dealer is fair and uses a bit of common sense when working on warranty items (haven't had any on the 6.7, but had plenty on the 6.0). I have no regrets on this purchase.

Well you do have to remember that 2 months ago if somebody was making the posts that Rick has been lately, he would have fought them to the death. I've yet to see him give up on an argument when he believes in something. It is just very polarizing. It will all fade in time and hopefully everybody will be able to play in the same sandbox together again.

If you want to get technicial..it's all in the Wording. Every thread should have honesty in it. Good and BAD,......but not with catch phrases like,,,"Do you feel Lucky"

If so... when your trucks fender got smashed (and will rear it's ugly head when the paint doesn't faid at the same rate) and you had to come here to let everyone know you were pizzed at the human race.
Maybe you got the point this time! But then maybe I got the wrong person...

Weren't you the guy who got his truck front fender smashed in at some parking lot and was venting here as well with a lot of emotions to boot!

Did you not read my above post? I saw you quoted it...but did you read it?
Good Luck on stirring up a fight with someone else.
