OK, it's -5 and his fuel gelled.

How is that the trucks fault?

 

It sounds like he was just frustrated and needed to vent. I don't think he was deliberately stirring things up.

How about a little compassion for a fellow having problems?

 

Even then, those Allison Transmissions they are using behind the Duramax have not lived up to the marketing. They certainly are not bulletproof like the Allison transmissions I have used in over 15,000 GVW vehicles.

 

No, I don't think so.

Women vent. Men fix things. This is an unwritten law that you should not mess with.

I think Redford is right...the OP just wants to bash Fords. I just got my F350, so can't speak to the reliability, but I had two F150s before (and only traded them because I progressively started towing more and more..my 2002 4.6 handled the jet ski fine, but upgraded because I started towing ATVs, then upgraded to the F350 6.4 because my 2005 5.4 wasn't quite enough truck to pull the toyhauler I purchased last March). But then again, if ABC says they're bad, they must be (forget the fact that the F150 has been the best selling vehicle for something like 17 years...).

 

If I remember things correctly. Ford manufactured up-to 250K as in THOUDSAND trucks every year for the 6.0. (can I get a correction here?)

I am still waiting for the other million owners to register their thoughts.

Regardless of all your ranting, Ford has made do to support these trucks with the 5/100k warranty.

Go get it fixed or not.

Oh yeah, welcome to the forums.

 

I hope FTE has the "don't ask don't tell" policy.

Maybe he has put your nads in a vice because he knows you are a Steelers fan! Just kidding, good luck today.

 

I almost started to run my mouth on this but you folks got it covered ;;;; hope you have better luck with your oil burner ,I be luvin my little engin that can!!!!

Simply put, ART will bust my ***** if I go off like this post has been going. The last couple times he deleted my posts, which did get under my skin.

 

i find it funny u say until now u had no troubles.. then soon as u have a issue now the whole truck is unacceptable and unrealible ??

if u think any vehicle in the world never needs repair work ur dreaming.. esp a truck thats asked to do heavy work..

good luck with a GM truck if u buy one.. get teh extended warrenty.. trust me u'll DEF. need it.. also get to know the service manger to, cuz you'll be seeing him ALOT.. hahaaha...

 

It is normal for first year ANYTHING to have issues. Good thing you didn't buy a 94 GMC 6.5 turbo with EFI. The fuel pressure sensor was inadequate and led to many stranded users. The sensor was buried in the injection pump, so it was a significant repair. GM must have lost millions in warranty claims. Mine was done 4 times. They covered the rental car cost and later extended the warranty out to 11 years to keep owners loyal. The real frustration occurs when problems carry on year after year.
Every manufacturer will have problems; as long as they do their best to take care of it, the sky is NOT falling. Treat these things as the inconvenience that they are, or move on.

 

Wow this is like a car wreck, idon't want to look, but I just gotta!

 

True!

I could have had the same reaction when the CPS went out on my wife's Excursion, leaving her and my kids stranded 40 minutes away from home on a back road.

And while I don't want to start yet another 7.3 versus 6.0 thread, I will say, for ME, I chose to own a 7.3L PSD (two of them, now) instead of a 6.0 because of all the problems that have been reported by the 6.0L crowd.

My 6.0 has had a few problems, but the main things are still all original on it, egr cooler, turbo and headgaskets. 137k miles

 

My 06 SD has had one problem since I bought it new... the cab brake lamp burned out.

A piece of junk? HECK NO!
