Low Miledge 2004 Junk Advice....
I've been on here for a while never posted much just read the latest stuff....I started a thread last year about how great my truck was and for everybody else that had no problems with theirs....so much to my amazment my truck has started showing it's JUNK SIDE....missed all the recalls never been in the shop for anything....3yrs old warranty out....EXCEPT ENGINE...34k HARDLY DRIVEN...HEAVIEST THING EVER HAD BEHIND IT IS A MUSTANG....NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF......LOOSING COOLANT ....OIL LEAK.....SMELL DIESEL FUEL BADLY THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK... ON A GOOD NOTE RUNS PERFECT....I'VE BOUGHT MY LAST FORD...AND I work for dealership and we have a ford store...My problem is I don't want to take it apart and end up worse than it was....yes it has a programmer in the mid file for econmy...and it's lifted...but a 40K truck you would think Navistar would get their head out of their *** and do something with all the truck problems.....with this motor... Dodge is looking better everyday....

Why don't you just take it in. If you have other transportation, i would just let them take their time with it. If it is not running worth a crap, why not take your chances that they will fix it. In my experience, my truck has never came back worse than when i brought it in to a dealer.

Remove tuner and return it for warranty repair and quityabitchin' I'm sure FoMoCO didn''t put the tuner on it....Warranty doesn't say no tuner unless you keep it in mid-file, it says no engine modifications!! You DID play.

Welcome to life on life's terms; now we're all here!
Ten things:
- You HAVE to drive it HARD once in a while to keep it cleaned out.
- Tuner = play! (not necessarily pay).
- Roll it back to stock.
- Clear the KAM.
- Take it in for service.
- Answer their questions, keeping the 5th amendment in mind.
- Stop hate'n.
- Pay your $100.
- Drive home happy, light-up the tires in front of the DOdGe lot.
- Know that you are blessed.

4 year old truck runs perfect but you apparently have some minor coolant, oil and fuel leaks. Thats brutal, I wouldn't ever buy that brand again either.
And the Navistar corporation, even though the fuel and coolant leaks could be coming from Fords plumbing, they should be blacklisted nonetheless.

Well, I'm a proud owner of a 1/2/03 bone stock six-oh with 67k miles, and I've had Ford replace the turbo for stuck vanes and replaced the IC as a result of the stuck vanes, and that's it.
So if you really want to keep your PSD, then take out the toy-box, pay your $100 bucks and get over it.
Mmmkay, I hope I didn't jinks myself.
