Not yet, went by the shop and tried to start it for the hellofit. After an hour of battery recharging it finally started, and I wish I would have recorded the sound. OMG. Never heard a truck sound like this before. Kinda like getting kicked in the ***** by a....well,it was bad. Had to continue to step on pedal to keep it running. Finally died, after 4 or five times like this, I plugged in the heater block for a minute, it brought temp up to C level and it idled, rough as hell, but idled. I did notice durring all this that the oil pressure gauge would not move, when it did, the truck fired off. Had some trouble codes from my Superchip tuner, 1-something about the ICP 2-KAM 3-EBP
My guess before I take it to Ford next week is the fuel pump, any other guesses?
One more thing, the had 2 injectors replaced this year, the old ones had NO o-rings....

If you have a mechanic the can't diagnose problems, you don't have a mechanic you have a parts changer. Do yourself a favor and find a mechanic that can work on your truck. Ford garages aren't know to be the best with these engines either.
