06 engine taps and stalls without warning

Can anyone please help! I bought an 06 gas ford f250 a month ago from a dealer . check engine light was on truck had no power on hills so the dealer suposedly fixed the problem. Check engine light is off ever since but the engine started tapping really loud when driving and idleing and it stalls without warning while driving the day after I bought it. Also exhaust is so bad in cab it kills you they didnt fix that either. Dealer had it back 3 times can find anything wrong. Im 23 years old and need some help can anyone tell me what this is so I can get them to fix it. so Far they are dancing around it.

Hi ebus,

Welcome to FTE.

Ouch! sounds like a hassle for you so far. I would be worried about the "loud tapping" and exaust.

I would recommend to NOT let them "dance around it". If you feel like they're maybe trying to take advantage of you or not making an honest effort to get you up and running properly,,, jump on them! Bring a friend along with you that maybe knows something about your truck/engines and DO NOT take any crap. Talk to the manager if you haven't already. Stay on them until your truck is repaired properly or you get a replacement vehicle or you get ALL your money back!

Hopefully someone else might chime in here for you to offer some assistance with the mechanical issues that might help diagnose the problems and you can pass the info along to the dealers service techs. Or at least let them know you are not some dumb kid that they can kick around!

Rick...
