Sad to say it but the FOCUS seems to be more reliable then the PSD.....,

I have had a couple of the focus when my trucks have been in the shop.

I have a 04 F250SD Crew cab 4x4 with the PSD with a 2004 motor and a truck build date of 1/21/04. I have 2500 miles on it since purchased on 3/5 and have had no problems as of yet, truck runs great and I'm getting about 17.5mpg now. was gettng 14.5 mpg for the first 2000 miles.. I hope this is one of the trucks that has none of the problems I've been reading about. One Ford Mechanic I spoke with said most of the problems were within the first 6 months of the 6.0 coming out and all the 04's have been fine. the only problem he has seen with the 04's was with the Water in Fuel sensor going bad but is a easy fix under warrenty..

I know I haven't had my truck long enough to count (just a week), but so far I've had nothing to cause me regrets. I've only put 750 miles on it. So far it's been great.

02/04 build date.
