Boss Snow plow-Service

When I purchased my 00 psd I had a boss plow installed at ford dealer
with a hydraulic lift to hook up.I figured it would be a nice feature
since I have neck problems that required surgery.Iwent to hook it
up to install cutting edge which does it come with plow (another story)
only to find this wonderful feature does not work!
I have contacted the local Boss plow dealer numerous times after doing
the eliminating game which has been a hassle going back and forth to
dealer.They have been dam slow to accomindate me and would not
help with out presure from ford dealer .Mind you this plow is brand
new!I will keep you posted as I owned 6 fisher plows and never
had this happen before!

If you dont mind me asking, what exactly do you need done to your rig? Maybe we can help here in the forums, particularly in the diesel forums. The 7.3 is a really easy engine to work on and just about everyone here has some experiance with the 7.3 (diesel forums).

Post in the diesel forums you will get the help you need without the dealer or mechanic, unless you just want a mechanic.

Like i said the 7.3 is an easy engine to work on(contrary to what most think, diesels are a lot easier and cheaper to work on compared to gassers). dont let it intemidate you, you can do it
