Quick Hello
Hello all...I am sort of new to these forums so bear with me. I recently (this week) traded my 2003 F250 Crew Cab, 7.3 Diesel for a 2005 F150 SCAB FX4. I freakin love this new truck. The reason a traded was that the diesel and I had the same temperment (bad) and we just were not getting along...so I ended the relationship 
. These new 150's can pull and/or haul all my toys anyway. I've got a couple of 4 wheelers, 26' bumper pull camper, and all the other stuff that goes with it.
One question I have...Has anyone heard of there being a TSB on cold starting. The reason I ask is that when I test drove the truck last Saturday, the dealer had to jump it. Granted it was about 10 degrees here in KC. I went back Monday to do the paperwork and they had to jump it 3 more times and I had them put a new battery in it while I was waiting. Took the truck home and got up to go to work Tuesday morning, turned the key, and "click". I took it in to the service department and they kept it all day Tuesday and most of Wednesday and the incident has not happened since. They ran all of the diagnostic stuff and said that everything checked out. The weather has been much more reasonable here lately though. This Sunday morning it is supposed to be 7 degrees again, so I will run another experiment. If anyone has heard of anything, let me know...
