pilot injection

do the 04 motors have pilot injection disabled? do 03 owners with it disabled have any legal recourse? or maybe a buyback?

Maybe I can suggest an answer to your question...

That the specs on the truck I bought were that it wa a quiet diesel with pilot injection that got better as mileage than my 7.3...

Neither of which is true..
I THINK this may fail under Truth in advertising...

If you can find and justifiably claim, using the printed promotional materials on that issue, you may well have a considerable argument. These arguments and materials, can also be applied when filing a claim for buy-back.

Just a Thought.....My Perception.....

6.0L Diesel Preview

This is the documentation you are looking for. Pay special attention to all the quotes from the Ford Chief Engineer. At this point some are saying that the injectors simply won't handle the pilot injection scheme.

Thanks for the repost of that info....

While I'm not happy with the PI being taken away, I still LOVE our Ex... it is the BEST travelling vehicle I've ever owned...
I just know it can be (and was!) better...

it's somehat like agreeing on the pay for a job, starting the job, and then having your pay cut by 20%...
doesn't exactly make you happy !
