I had a wiring harness repaired after only 419 miles. The truck had to be towed in. Subsequently the truck has died on me 5 times. I did return to the dealer after the second incident. (It would restart.) They had it for three days and found nothing. They tried to tell me I had bad fuel. It's still dying in traffic. I'm going to go back one more time. They won't find anything. I guess we'll have to wait for a service bulletin. It's pretty annoying, not to mention dangerous. Keep us posted if you get a solution.

2003-2004 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES/EXCURSION 6.0L - DRIVEABILITY - WIRING HARNESS CHAFING

My build date is 11/03. They just replaced the two wire harness not the motor, and it has been working great. It was the tech at the dealer that made the call to replace the harness.

Hi Tim
Yes I put the Banks 4" monster cat back system with 5" tip, lights are real bright but a real pain to install.
