Another Successful Exorcism!

Hi All,
Picked up my truck last nite and found the drone tsb worked! what a difference, feels like a different truck. They had the truck for 4 days, I guess they tried just neutralizing the exhaust first and that didnt work so they replaced the turbo pedestal and neutralized the exhaust again and that did it. I still cant believe it worked, Its great to be able to drive at 55 at not have my foot going numb.

Looks like my rear main wasnt leaking again. They added dye and found it leaking at the camshaft sensor, they replaced some o-rings and leak stopped.

That was all of the problems I had with my truck, I cant believe its problem free now, I was really having doubts about these new ones but now I'm very happy with it. I'll stay very happy as long as I dont have any problems where the truck needs to be flashed and I lose pilot injection and my fuel mileage.

I need to say thanks to those that posted the info on the drone tsb, My dealer didnt know about till I told them. I am very happy with the service I get at Rizzo Ford In North Providence, RI. They have been very straight forward with me. Thanks again all, Take care, John

Thanks Tim And HP,
The vibration is 100% gone. It is so much nicer to drive , It got so when driving on certain roads I could tell when it was going to start buzzing. Now I find myself driving along and trying to get it to buzz but it wont, It's like a new truck, I couldnt be happier. Thanks again, John
