Well, I was hoping to help you out on this problem but it doesn’t sound like I’m on the right track.

I hope you get some resolution soon. We’ve all read about bad experiences on this forum and if you are one of the writers, I’m sure you are apprehensive about the product you purchased on good faith. I wish you good luck and hope they can get you in a truck that will give you as much pleasure as mine has for me.

SavageSam............very cool!

low350,

Remember that this forum has an incredibly low sampling of the total vehicles
that have been sold. I wish…with the vast resources we have, that read and participate
on this from………………..could actually report as to how many have been sold.

Hey everone,just got my truck back from the dealer. The Ford factory tech came just to look at this problem. It turned out that the TCM was shorting out internally thus causing the PCM to shut the engine on and off quickly. I put 50 fast miles on it after picking it up.So if any of your dealer say it cant happen call sunrise in fontana,ca and ask for Guy Smith (yes that is his name) in service. Now I can go camping.
