It has an appointment with ford tomorrow, this is their fault and problem to fix since they forgot to hook up the grounds to the computer the last time it was in. And I drove for almost a week like that. It wasn't until I popped the hood to check fluid levels that I noticed they didn't hook them back up. Believe me they got quite the ear full when I called them.

They have already admitted fault and will cover the costs to fix it

Well got the news I was expecting to get today from ford. My pcm is fried. The sucky news is that a new pcm is at least 10 business days out. So I'm without my f250 at least another 2 weeks.

Bummer. It happens. Stick with it. Still a good looking truck.

Everything is debatable. In the tritons defense I had a 98 F150 so one of the first of the triton series engines and it gave me little issue besides the little pinging noise it made that every triton seems to make. Gave my dad little issue either until he jumped a ditch in it and totaled it (he made it out fine miraculously). Had less than a 100K on it. Sad day when a ford dies. I still prefer the ideal of cast iron heads. And I still like the exterior of the OBS better except maybe a superduty.

My favorite ford truck motor has to be the 300-6. It's a work horse and gets great mpgs. I've owned several over the years and still own one.

I can't wait to get the super duty back though. It is far more comfortable than my f150.

Well I have had goliath back from over a week now and it seems to be running good. Long story short it seems as though my stock tune is actually messed up some how. Ford could not figure out the problem. So I plugged in my tuner and loaded the 5star performance tune and haven't had a problem since. I really hope it stays that way lol.

Well tomorrow my new belstien rear shocks go in! I had them put on the front a couple weeks ago and they make a huge difference in ride quality. I can't wait to see how they feel on the rear as well.







I also got my reverse lights hooked up recently and they help out a ton at night!

Is there a reason you copied the first sentence in my thread and pasted it?
