440 HP?
Yes I said 440 HP.
So the wife is letting me look at a new trucks so Sat i went to the dealership and was told by the salesman that "when you put some miles on it and brake it in" they would add 40 HP.
I thought that the Job 2s were given the new programing from the factory and had not heard of a new flash out there to bring it up to 440 HP.
Has anyone else heard of this? just wondering. And yes the wife has agreed to me getting a new truck, the best Christmas present I've have ever had!
thanks

My salesman told me that this engine was patterned after the Cummins. He went on and on about how it uses the same injectors as the Cummins, blah blah blah. Bottom line is, don't believe anything that a salesman says. Most of them are lucky to know anything about a Focus let alone a diesel powered Superduty.

My sales guy told me all 2011 ford trucks were power strokes, gas or diesel.

I agree with this 100%. If I was out a a job trying to sell my product, and a person ask a simple question that I get wrong, then I would not blame him for moving to the next company. Instead of the sales guys all standing around in a "wolf pack" by the managers desk, they should be studying the specs and details of the vehicles they sell. BUT on the other hand, the turnover of sales people is worse than McDonalds. I went into a dealer yesterday, and the guy handed me a card with his name hand written in a blank spot, and his cell right below it in another blank spot...... wow.

That's okay, my salesman told me the block was made out of granite - I said, "YGTBS me, the stuff they make kitchen countertops out of?" - I walked away and laughed.
Later when we were negotiating I told him, "you better sharpen the granite in your pencil."
He didn't get the joke.
