It's understood that there are some problems...
just like in life, there are problems...
but if ALL you do is complain about them and can't get past it...
Well, even MY angel of a wife would have left me for happier times :-)
I'm sorry if it happened to YOU... it hasn't happened to all of us...
and I promise, the people in Afganistan, Iraq, Iran... MANY other places would LOVE to trade you "problems"...

And my experience with ford and how they're treating me should be of interest to anyone that truely wants balanced input. I did not buy this truck hoping for what I've been through. All I wanted was a reliable truck.
Ford is going to buy back or replace your truck and you still whine.
Keep in mind ford is being forced to replace my truck. Lots of folks seem to want to give ford some credit for this when they should get none. My buy back is the result of the independent DSB process finding in my favor, not ford stepping up and doing the right thing.

jeb:
I'm with you bud. My dealings with ford with my truck is a nightmare. And after 1 year and 2 moths the saga continues with the DSB replacement procedure At the dealer level.
Why should a ford customer have to go through all the time and anxiety after a 40,000 dollar investment?
You darn right I'm whining, And today I get my 04.

the '04s didn't have pilot injection. Maybe I'm the lucky one
who has 4 injectors with it and 4 without? Duh.
I'm still trying to figure out why it's so quiet withthe key in the off position.....hmmmm.

March 04 build date, very pleased. Had a sqeeky serpentine built, Ford replaced. Now if I could be independently wealthy and wouldn't have to sit behind this desk pretending I'm working, I could be out driving my truck a bunch more. Wake me up, I'm dreamin' again.

My F-250 PSD Is Great
I have owned mine for about one month. I have 1200 miles on it. Runs great. Good fuel mileage, about 15 -16 mpg. I hope Ford steps up and fixes your truck. They have ALWAYS taken care of me. I was a diehard Chevy truck man for 33 years until 1999. I will never go back. They spent more time at the chevy garage then at my house. This is my second Ford truck. I loved my F-150 5.4L. We bought a toy hauler for our toys. The F-150 couldn't tow it. The F-250 psd doesn't even know its there. Have a good summer, stay cool

when I was whinning about they all have to many problems I was refering to the problem trucks, not to the many good trucks. it is not as simple as some people would lead you to believe, to get your problems resolved. If you have a good dealer it is a much smoother thing to go throught , but many have poor dealers and are not geeting any help from the ford people. So if I whinning because my truck is constantly in the shop so be it. I know if I was a real ford man I would still say it is a great truck, if thought it is a lemmon. What could I say that is positive, boy this truck gets 12 mpg on the hwy empty and I love it. man my trans brake only works in 3 gears and its the greatest, man I sure am glad ford took away my pilot injection , the point with me is not being negative but factual as many of you guys so ofton call for, if there was any thing about my truck to be positive about then I would ,but as I said before I am basing my expierences on what I have had with my 2 previous psd trucks not the 2004. 500,000 miles and not one problem just regular maint.
