Very bad news on my sevice truck...

Thanks for the offer, but we have to have a special length truck to use the service beds we already own, it's a 60 cab to axle. Those old 7.3's are good motors, I just got the new style service beds and those suckers alone are 9 grand each! So proceed John, if Rees doesn't want it I may no someone who is interested.

Companies think it better to lose 1M in business than send 10M on a recall. Just the bottom line.

Sorry for the bad luck on the truck, but you did tell me they were disposable.

6.4 is considered disposable.

Dang Snubbys this just is not right ....Ford should stand behind their product or figure on no future sales....Word gets around and they will pay a price either making good or losing customers....You probably need to take a step above a dealership and talk to a higher level at Ford.....

I would tell Ford if I start driving a new Dodge trunk because of this !!!! It would have a body wrap on it ; ADVERTISING why I am in a Dodge and not Ford truck !!!!

Trying to get a response from corporate no one wants to talk about it. They said 6 years old out of warranty, sorry. And no more Ford's for me, see if I can more out this one.

Looking into putting a 6.7 Cummins in the F450 with the shot engine. Everything is still good on it, just needs a new heart. Got a guy's number in Hernando to call about it. Also, going to do the full delete on the one F450 I have running and get rid of that faulty factory turbo that's on it.

X2, and I can make the wrap happen for free! Pm me if you want to do it. I am big on personal responsibility, seems like Ford forgot what that is.

I know the rules on bashing so I will hold my tongue, but a sad state of affairs when you can't get 100,000 miles out of a $60,000 truck!

Yeah that's a shame
