Well its kindda hard to drive it when it spend 4 out of 7 days a week in the shop. Turns out that its leaking coolant again this week and its back in the shop again. Only had to take it back 3 times this week. Its there for good, or until they fix it. They are going to give me 31,000 for the truck and I think I am going to get out of it. I am going to go back to the F-150 the resale is better so is the fit and finish. Plus it will tow what I need it to. The 6.0 is a great ride but the issues are too frequent and so is the down time. I have spent more time in a F-150 rental that it makes me wish that I had never gotten rid of my 99. Great truck. I love my 6.0 but like I said if they cant fix a coolant leak what is going to happen if it has a major problem. I will post as soon as I find out what was wrong with it.

That is probley a good idea, if you are having all those problems! The new F-150 is cool too! There is so much stuff out there on the aftermarket for it!

Well, My dealer did the right thing and bought the truck back. I purchases a 2006 F-150 with the 5.4...I smell a Roush Super Charger in the future.. . I am going to miss you guys here at the 6.0 forum but I will check back frequently to help out if I can. I sincerely appriciate all the help I recieved from the knowlegeable people here. I am glad that Ford did the right thing with me. I will enjoy the ride of my new Lariat. Never had one of those before. I will still post as soon as I find out the out come of my 04 6.0. Thanks for the help you guys are the best.
