Out here in Washington, they are not having very many problems and people are still buying them. The only issue they have had is the idle up problem but they said it has been addressed. I had the problem one time but I have a stick so it did not bother me. Have not had it happen again since the latest flash. My only concern is mpg's dropping as I have seen in other posts.
tn mac, any way to validate your claim on your dealer? BTW the link you posted is not accessible. Is this all word of mouth? If they't are that big a Super Duty shop, why can't they fix your truck? Is mileage the only issue you have open now?
you may want to try to access the link again it works on my computer, no way that I know to prove the trucks here are just not selling,just what my friend is telling me. dont know why he would lie he is upset with the drop in sales, as to why they cant fix my truck that is a good question, they have done everything that the ford eng. have told them to do very little improvment, the are rep. is coming to take a look at it whenever he getts in my area he covers 3 states. only major issue with my truck, and it seems as thought Iam not the only one with the poor mpg problems have talked to several other owners with same complaint they havent been able to get there trucks fixed either seems ford doesnt know what to do.
I've always handled my dealings with ford on a local and coporate level calmly and professionally. I just have a bad motor. I know that. It's not the local folks fault and it's not the fault of the folks on the help line. I just hope the DSB agrees with me.

Sounds like you are approaching the problem in a calm, business like fashon. Sorry you have to run the rat maze and jump through the hoops. Good luck.

Thanks for the link to the article. It's kind of funny to compare all the things the 6.0 was suppose to produce according to ford's marketing and to actually see what the reality is today. Anyone getting better mileage with this truck than their 7.3's?
By this time next year the problems will be in the past
What do you want to bet I could go back a year and find posts saying this exact same thing about the 6.0? This motor is coming up on 2 years old. How many more years is it going to take?

Problem is than anyone reading the material on this site needs to be very selective in what they believe. Just like the obvious differences in the material presented just now on this thread, what do you believe? There are some people on this forum who are mad at Ford or hate Ford for some unknown reason. These folks have the ability to influence others greatly out of porpotion to their station in life. When the same people continue to complain loudly for months I suspect their motives. I know that I would not suffer any bull from the dealer or Ford for more than a few days without resolution. I just don't have the time to spare. When it gets to the point that I can't get a favorable resolution or at least a satisfactory plan in a couple of days, I give it to my attorney to handle. Then I don't worry about it until he calls me.
I suspect that many of these people are unemployed or retired nuts that don't have a life except what they live out on these threads. I suspect many of them don't even own a Ford or a PSD. If these trucks were as bad as they would lead us to believe and every one took months to resolve, the dealers would be full of them. Next time you go to your dealer, drive around back where they park customer's vehicles. Count the unresolved Ford PSDs.
The thing that makes me mad is that because the web gives them the ability to influence others, they may eventually drive down the value of used PSDs which will then affect all of us, the legitimate owners.

IN SO MANY WAYS.

Life is not only time……paradoxically, it is the denial of time!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
And people tend to read things on the internet as if it were all fact just because it is posted there. That's why I question "where did you get the info!". If it is a news source, I question it. If it is someones opinion, that and $2.50 will get a gallon of diesel in a few places in California.

I think many of the problems are like mine the shop managers wont give you access to the factory rep. and ford wont answer your clls so your problems go unresolved unless you go lemmon law, fords way of stone walling you . hoping you will give up or trade for something else. Was looking at used superduty today and talking to the owner of used car lot, he asked me how I liked my 6.0 and I told him it was fine except for poor fuel mpgs, he told me at the auction yesterday there were 8 new 6.0 buybacks or lemmon law trucks there and none were sold . and no I have no way to prove it , it was just what he told me I didnt even bring up anything about 6.0 , he just saw my tuck when I pulled in the lot.

If you put up with it, it is your fault, not Ford's. They don't know you exist. As long as I have visited this forum, you have done nothing but gripe about your truck. Do you really have a problem or do you just need to gripe?
Ford PSD resale values around here are great. They bring top dollar and sell quick. There are probably 20 Ford dealers within a days drive from anywhere in the country. Get it fixed or get rid of it. You are not helping yourself. Your posts are just like another internet hoax, without credibility. Like the boy who called "wolf" until no one believed them any longer.
Seriously, you have a truck that is still in warranty, get them to fix it or sue them. Do it now, don't just whine about it. If I was getting hosed, I would be too embarrased to tell you guys about it day after day without doing anything about it. You have lots of options, push it over a cliff or burn it down but for God's sake quit being defeated. Do something!
