big trouble ??
Today I pulled off I-84 500 miles from home on the way to New Mexico and as I pulled away from the stop,I heard a loud hammering sound and a severe vibration as if it was only running on 7 cyls.It runs ok when it's idling,but as soon as you give it fuel,I'm pulling 8500# of TT,it seems to run out of power and is ok till it upshifts and then starts to vbrate again.. It sounds as if it could be a bad piston,lifter or valve..I got it into a RV park and it's only about a block to the local Ford Dealer.
Please give me some ideas about what it could be so I can kinda know what to expect.. Oh,and regardless of what a lot of people here said about aftermarket warranties,I got a full ride one with turbo,etc...Whew !!!

On a Cadillac DTS recently, my local dealership had to sit on the phone for 40 minutes trying to have the replacement of camshaft position sensors approved. They told me "Never again buddy, we'll fix your Cadillac -- but you need to get reimbursement from your aftermarket warranty company next time, we don't have time for this foolishness!".
