Another friend is out 7000 dollars and he still has warranty. Ford keeps finding ways to make him pay for their errors. He has owned the truck just over a year and has done the tranny 3 times, the pwr steering pump, the transfer case and now at 70000 kms it blew both head gaskets to which ford says the problem was a k&n air filter. sorry for the sad stories but as far as i'm concerned, the 6 liter is not built ford tuff. don't get me wrong the truck has plenty of power, that is why both
my friends bought a ford but what good is all that power if the truck lives on a hoist and is married to a mechanic?
This sounds fishy, all these problems should be covered by warranty. I cannot see a dealer stating that 3 tranny replacements, pwr steering pump, head gaskets and $7k in other expenses comes down to a air filter.
So you have two friends that have had issues and you probably read other posts here, that ford 6.0 have issues. And base this on all Fords are not built "Ford Tough" Well, if that's true, then I should rip out my trouble free 6.0 and drop in a Toyota four banger, I hear those are reliable.......
