i had to do a screen refresh a couple of days ago to update everything. I noticed after a couple of days that there were no new posts showing up and thought that was strange. I refreshed the screen and everything has been fine since.

I've got a truck swap story that is still panning out. My Oct. 03 2004 F-350 started acting up in Dec and by Feb had a new engine installed. I did not speak sweetly or politely, in fact on my 3rd trip the dealer the police came to calm me down. I pushed every button I could find in the process and in fact I spoke with William Clay Ford's office repeatedly. After I got the truck back I spoke wiht the Zone Manager and told him I want a new truck or I'm going to the AG in NY with a lemon claim. He offered me a new truck which I expect to arrive in the next week. What I think is when Ford sees they have a flamer (a bad truck) on thier hands they offer the swap and when they know the owner is just begin a pain the butt they let it go to DSB. By swapping the trucks they don't have to treat it as a lemon and they don't have to add the disclaimer to the title. Without this declaimer the deal is just a trade-in deal where Ford gives the buyer a real good trade in value. By doing this they can ship the truck out to another location with a reasonable price tag on it and manage thier losses better. I don't have any hard facts on this but it seems too easy that they want to swap all these trucks without any DSB proceedings....

DSB
From what I understand the DSB is independant of Ford. that means ford doen't influence thier decesions. They go buy the laws of your state. That is why people get offered diffrent things dependant on what state they live in. They try to buy it back before you file lemon law papers. if they feel you have a good case for lemon law in your state they will offer a buy back of course they will start low. IE. we will buy it back but you pay milage. to see if you bite, if you know that your state says they buy back for full price + tax and license then you hold out, and they say" we will wave the milage. these are just examples. I am not good at explaining things. From what I understand ford does'nt loose any money when they buy back a vehicle they are big corp. They (ford) write it of in taxes, then they re-sell it. They may rebuild it to current specs (new parts) or sell it over seas. then you hopefully buy a newer ford, and everybody wins. What this does hurt though is Fords reputation "Ford Tough", or may result in them loosing long term customers to Dodge and Chevy. Hope this makes sense Jerry Mathieson
