You are correct. I was going off of what the tech mentioned. I never got under the truck to look.

This is a joke mine is in the shop also with radiator leak, lack of power, bad shifts, limited slip rear end sucks, air leaks around doors, from 15.8to 12.9 fuel milage.
Well it was only fifty grand!

I'm on Radiator number 3 now. We'll see how long this one lasts.

I actually filed a complaint with Ford corporate against the dealer that serviced my truck this past week.

I wonder if any Ford big shots read any of this? I get my truck back tomorrow!
See how long it lasts but it sucks that a new truck has to be torn down that far, what if the mecanic does not do everything right?

Not many dealers know as I talked to one locally to me that is a certified tech and he never heard of it. FTE is here to keep you informed and ahead of the game. Any dealer repair with non certified stock could leak again.


I posted this problem when Ford released the information.... Game on!

Funny you should mention that. I picked mine up Thursday and the turbo pipe going into the intercooler was just hanging there. I walked back in after I turned around and flipped the **** out. They're lucking I didn't put the truck in the showroom. (I have a very short temper, especially when I'm ****ed with)

Well mine is back and I checked it out everything looks tight but one of the inner cool clamps is indexed wrong and those long bolt threads are sticking out! ready to take the hide off when I check my oil. So I went to pick my tractor up from my farm, put it on the trailer and the 4x4 would not lock in! also my trailer brake switch is not working
so I played hell getting to the road in 2 wheel drive! We are going to get 12" of snow tonight no 4x4! Back to the dealer for the 4th time! When can I get a new truck?
