so on friday august 15th
2 1/2 months after the motor went in my truck Ford finaly decided that they would put a new long block in my truck the sent the oil out to be tested and this and that turns out the oil filter seperated and then the oil pump quit ford wanted to send a short block but the shop manager fought to have a long block because he was to worried about the amount of metal that went flying around inside the motor its going to be a week to get the motor here and another week to get it in the truck and running so 3 months to warranty a motor a ford guy i know around here gave me a number i will be calling as soon as i have the truck back in my possession 3 months to me = 3 truck payments of 1280 a month and roughly 20,000 in revenue each month can ya tell im pissed?

it took so long because diesel techs are in short supply
and good disel techs and even fewer between faxed them the maintinence records like they asked for and half of them didnt get there and nodoby told me they didnt get there diesel tech went on vacation ford wanted an oil sample done got asked why my services were never done at ford. which i told them it takes 2 weeks to book an appointment and its freakin expensive all the dodge dealerships have drive through oilchanges here and then i had my mechanic start doing them because it was just more cost effective
