Well get this, The dealer calls said the truck is done and they found no issues with the dpf. they replaced the AC compressor ordered a new pig tail for the trailer brakes and I could bring it back when it comes in. oh and they repalced the seat belt.

I said there is soot in my tailpipe and it regens like crazy and that is fine. (Oh well the ford hot line gave us a list of things to check and it all checked ok.)
(We looked for cracks on the dpf and found none), I said good you took it off and looked?
(No we looked at the outside of it for cracks! and we don't know why it is regening so much but if I want the can have the porter drive it this week end and write down when
it regens!!) I said your Porter knows how to tell it is regen? (well we can tell him what to look for). I said no thanks. Ok they said you just let us know if it regens soon.
Ok what ever!! so down the highway I go about 20 miles it goes into regen again
I drove to the dealer where I bought the truck and let him listen. Yes you are in regen
and man your motor does not sound right at all he tells me. I called the dealer in Ohio that just had it and he talked to them. I have to take it back Tuesday!!!!

 

That is some bad luck, sorry to here of all the problems one guy is having. ordered mine and it is supposed t be here on the 15th of feb. What is job 1, 2 and 3 mean?

 

It has to do when it was built. Yours will be a job3 you are lucky you waited

 

I would be weary of that dealer. The cracks happen to the catalyst internally, not on the outside.

 

I waited as long as I could befor I order a new truck, I was ready 3 years ago but didnt want the 6.0 with all the problems they were having. I almost bought a GM I am hoping the 6.4 will run strong and troble free! Good luck with them buying back your truck.

 

Just get a job 3!! I am pricing mine now I am upgrading a few things once Ford buys my POS back

 

Should be here on the 15th of February
Good luck with the buy back

 

Good luck to you also

 

i was waiting for a job 3 truck since ford is replacing mine, but the job 3 builds won't be available until late march or early april. so i found a truck built 12/07 job to replace my truck. i hope you get a replacement truck like i am.

 

are you sure you looked at a job 3 build? when i was looking around for my replacement truck, i was looking for a job 3 build. every dealer i spoke with around my area (8 dealers total) all told me that job 3 builds wouldn't be available until late march or ealy april. either you don't know what to look for or the dealerships i dealt with are full of *****.

 

How can you tell what build the truck is? Mine was built 2/4/08

 

look at your invoice. some invoices say what "build" they are. another way is by the build date which it seems that you have a job 3 truck. man, those f**ckers that deal in vehicle sales are c**k suckers! those lying ***** f**ckers. i've been told by at least 8 dealerships that build 3 trucks wouldn't be available until late march or early april. if i knew this, i would have waited until job 3 trucks came out before i picked out my replacement truck! and here i've been spouting my mouth off about job 3 trucks not being available until springtime. sorry for the mis information. maybe its not too late to get a job 3 truck.

 

So what is the first date of job 3 trucks?

 

They're just trying to get rid of their stock that they have on site. I think if Ford is buying the truck back then they should not only give you exactly what you want but they should offer up some concessions for you trouble and lost time. I still say that they should be considering the consumers lost time and frustration for the crap they put out there. Maybe then they would be forced to put out a better quality product.

Good luck to you both.

 

Do you really think Job 3 is going to make all things better? I don't think so but hey take another risk! I would wait on this 6.4 motor to either be improved or replaced with that new Peugot 6.7 Scorpion motor!!
