Howdy Folks.........
Sorry about being late reporting...........
Court went Very well.............
100 years Jail. 50 years suspended. 1st 25 years NO parole. If/when he completes sex offender rehab and completes 25 years he becomes eligible to apply for parole. If he gets out of jail, supervision and tracking bracelet for life. Must register as a tier II sex offender. Must make restitution of 8,000 dollars to Theresa's counselor.
I had a chance to address the court and say my peace.

Reps intended
WELL ..... DON SAYS THE TRUCK IS FIXED
They have been going through all the wiring harnesses, connectors and grounds for days. They were loop testing all the fuse box wiring (under the hood fuse box) and got some voltage loss on one fuse. Touching the fuse changed the voltage drop..... The fuse that supplied power to the PCM (or power to the relay that powers the PCM, not sure which). Pulled the fuse box yesterday and the crimp where the wire connects to the fuse holder is not crimped tight and the wire is loose. Re connect the fuse box to test it. Push the fuse one way and the truck no starts with the same symptoms (no glow plugs, no fuel pump and no engine light). Push the fuse the other way and it fires up. While running push the fuse and it dies. Same as it does while driving. Took fuse box back out and a millisecond with a pair of pliers to tighten the crimp and it's fixed. Fuse box going back in now. They are pretty confident that was it and I am glad they hooked the box back up to test it. I sure hope so .....
So I guess Roy wins the prize, it was a fuse, kinda.
3 months of hell because of a QC issue, thanks FORD!
I am sure looking forward to getting my truck back!! Man I miss it!!
Andre, she gets that stuff for about 25% of retail. It's still too much tho
Have a good day everyone

Good morning Savage Truckers!
Matt...props on your civil war comment. I agree 100%. We don't get rid of this mess, Darren is getting a new neighbor.
Monty...right on. I just hope we can fix this complete train wreck.
Darren...No comment on it being Tuner related. That is likely a freak incident or a tech that was in a hurry shop that happened to install the tuner. I don't like fuse taps either, but there are a million of them out there that does do what your truck was doing. Bottom line is the truck is fixed and you KNOW the cause is fixed right.
At vegetarians...you're doing it wrong.
bubbasz1...welcome to the one page thread!
Tedster...welcome to the one page thread!
DimSum...I think you have posted in the one page thread before, but if you haven't welcome
Steve...Great pics from a proud day for you for sure. Tell your friend congrats on the well deserved promotion. I noticed the photobomb of the KR right away. Well done!
Roy...So are you headed back tomorrow?
Dak...Glad to hear the doctor is making some progress on your health. I feel for you that you can't eat meat. That's rough. I'd be a gonner for sure. Props to you!
Brett...Ron is the MAN rofl
Mitch...are you back out on the big pond?
Tim...So what did you work on yesterday? Cuz unless your spent the day on the bench, we want to see some Bronco progress pics
Gerry...how's the garage coming? Have you had some decent weather for the crew to make some progress?
Chad...having the cow first is just textbook efficiency in my opinion...like a HYBRID.
Iowa Tim...doesn't take long to get behind around here lol
