RECALL.....FINALLY

RECALL.....FINALLY
Well after my 12 6.7 left me stranded 5 times last year I think they finally got it right. Got a recall notice and took it in last month to have the recall done. The problem was in the exhaust temp sensors, or so they said last year, and I refuse to carry spare parts for a new truck as was suggested by some of the fine folks on here. I did get a call back from a Ford rep and I assured her the next time it quit it would be towed in on their nickel. She had the gall to ask if I had roadside assistance!
Anyhew, after the recall work (reprogram) this thing is running much better, the mileage has increased at least 2mpg and (knock on wood) hasn't quit. I would like to know though, what took them so dern long to get this problem, and yes it was widespread, corrected. I now have 18K on it so you can see it isn't because of high mileage. The Factory warranty runs out this month so if it gives the problem again I will opt for the aftermarket exhaust system, the reprogram to go with it and will no longer have to put DEF in it.
Like I said though, so far, so good. Love my truck just the same.

tuner question
Has anyone had a problem installing a tuner after this recall ?
I ask because I thought someone had a issue with their SCT after ward and I plan on doing a DEF delete next year.... or maybe late this year. And would hate to do the recall and then not beable to do the delete do to programming issues

I had the recall done about five weeks ago. Last week I had an H&S Mini Maxx installed along with a 5" Flo Pro exhaust and Sinister EGR delete kit and so far everything is working great...
