my great ford experience
i took my truck in for a intermintant no turbo boost at highway speeds while at WOT, the tech said this was happening because of my aftermarket downpipe i had a slight gap between that and my turbo....BS.....so they said that they would fix it in an hour, hour later tehy call and say "hey it will be about 2 more hours, we have to make some cuts in the pipe to make it fit right" after a total of 5 hours of work i come in the next day to pick up to find my exhaust hacked up and only the downpipe left...and with a $676 labor fee
any one know how to post pictures?

First off, I'm sorry you had to vent here. We don't need dealers doing this sort of thing to us.
So, who's the dealership? Where?
Did you sign a consent form for them to perform maintenance? Do you have the original exhaust? Is the dealership service manager aware/assisting with the correct solution?

Sorry to hear about the trouble but it sounds like the Service Techs are more the issue than your truck. Is it on the list for the harness recall?

All vehicles need service. Since you've had the truck in the shop (the same shop?) six times in two months for the same issue, then you have had service techs working on your Ford that are not competent to repair it.
It's been stated many times in this forum, and another I used to frequent, that if a service dept. is not providing service, find another service dept. and speak to their Service Manager about the issues you've had and the related facts.
You never answered my question about the Service Manager, you just keep blaming your truck for their apparent poor service.
Best of luck to you!

Sorry, couldn't resist.They need codes to replace bad components? Doesn't sound right to me. They can test each component and validate if it's operating within spec. If it isnt' it should be replaced, codes or no codes.
