Serious 6.0 Problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help !!!!

My early 03 6.0 4x4 (un) limited expedition has been nothing but trouble...

I get speeding tickets in it...
I keep beating all these other hot trucks and cars...
I have to take long trips in it cuz it's so comfortable...

I think Ford should have to reimburse me for all the diesel I've had to buy !!!

Is there a lemon law for that in Kalifornia ?
I'll bet I could get the John's to help me after November


oh, wait, I have to many posts for this to be taken seriously


best stop now... you know I be jerking your chain a bit by now I hope...

Once I saw the screen name I knew what you were gonna say.
You make everyone a little less worried about the 6.0 that are skeptical.

Yeah jdadamsjr...

Thought somethin was 'up' here..You don't ever have anything go wrong with yours!!!

It's like a gambling addiction though!! I want to spend all my money (and the kids inheritance) on another new 6.0!! And of course all the goodies!! Haven't had to worry much about the court invitations much, being commute traffic restricted. But got scared straight last weekend on the 'scoot' and got radar locked 'and' a good tone/visual at 120MPH in a 45 zone!!! Got a hand signal and the 'Red' light but NO persuit.. Not that I would'a run.. I had a visual of my jail cell , as I felt my face go white and cold..

.......................HP......................

Neither...
Just playing the "troll" poster with the misinformation that we usually catch in their horror stories

HP....
I know EXACTLY the feeling you are describing when you are tooling along at maximum warp and you see IT!!!
Even something that LOOKS like IT but isn't

I drive fast but not REAL FAST - except every once in a while...
and even though I know if you play you haveta b ready to pay !!!!
It's still funny how you go cold when you realize -
OH SHucks - I'm paying a big fine..... AGAIN

(I think I have Jeff Altman's defensive driving dvd memorized )

JD...I hate to be the one to bring this to your attention...but...well...if you are going to be a Troll...maybe you shouldn't troll under your own name.

If you know what I mean.

Just a little friendly advise from a bonified member of the AARP.

BTW: I made a major sacrifice for my fellow Texicans yesterday and will continue to do so the entire 3 day weekend.

My friends and I have been very diligent in our efforts to protect the
Great and Glorious State of Texas from the, scourge of the sky.
The notorious, dreaded, and dastardly...Dove Bird.

Not to mention the fact a that we are contributing a significant bump the the Texas economy.

Appreciate your attempt at hijacking this enthusiast's thread...
but towed in for what ?
can u pm your vin to see what the dealer has entereed in their oasis system as far as repairs ?

If the dealer you go to can't fix it, document and find another dealer...
but first ask them to show you their 6.0L mechanics certification !
