Got my truck back

I posted a couple of weeks ago about the stuck injectors in my 5.4. The engine hydro-locked and bent the rods.

Ford replaced the engine with a brand new complete engine off the assy line. Ford picked up the tab on the rental car as well. I am pursuing an Extended Premium Service Plan as further compensation. Except for being without a truck for almost 3 weeks, I am pretty satisfied with Ford's handling of the problem.

Ford will probably give you the extended Warranty, they gave me a 5/70 for the trouble I went through, just don't give up. Call them direct. If you have any trouble keep posting and some kind soul from this forum my give you some contacts, they were kind enough to help me. Unfortunately I can't divulge any further info as I am sworn to secrecy.><O></O>

Best of luck!

Yeah so am I! The service manager said the cards are stacked in my favor. He said go for the 100k mile/$0 ded warranty and I will probably get it. He said he would take this over a buy-back.
