I think it has to do with the programs they are putting in them. I got mine in Nov '07 and there has been at least 6 different ones since then. I got the newest one in now - haven't drove it yet - still at the dealer. I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow so I can run the sh%t out of it this weekend to try it out. This last one took them 8 weeks to figure out. On the '03 models they were putting out a new program every week at the start. The dealership I go to didn't even know there was a new one out until I told them I got the info from another dealer. He might wat to check on that.

 

have they at least pulled trouble codes....were any present? I am primarily looking for one of these P0003, P0004 or P0091...and/or has fuse 74 ever been blown?

 

I don't know about his but if its anything like mine there are no codes showing up. My dealership said that was strange - half chafed about the whole deal I told them its not strange its a new model Ford.

 

No codes

 

Thats a good idea, make sure your going to a dealer that sees this trucks all the time with a good diesel tech. Some dealers just deal with the cars and very seldom see a diesel and they call in a diesel tech from another dealership. My freind has a 08 6.4 and had a problem like this and it was taking in to much moisture through the intake,( everytime it snowed this was happening) so the dealership couldn't get it to do it in the shop. A good tech will put the vehicle through all different types of situations to get the problem to occure. I hate those phone calls, well we can't seem to see any problems here at the shop and they make you feel like an idiot, But I tell you the day your forking out the 50,000 grand or so to buy it they make you feel like your god to get you out the door with the sale.

 

They make you feel like a God when you are buying it, then you are the Devil when you bring it in cause it's havin problems. You are kind of stuck when you take it back and they 'can't duplicate your problem'. Sure its under warranty and you can KEEP taking it back but you are still making a payment on the thing while its in the shop the whole time. Everybody knew the new model diesels would have probs with the emissions crap they have on them and I blame myself for buying one the first year they came out. The Lemon Law deal is not an easy process but some times its the only route. I've been 3 months now trying to get mine fixed so I could keep it - very nice truck - just makes me nervous thinking about what I will have to pay for after the warranty is up.

 

I like my 08 F250, I haven't had a single problem !!

 

Any updates??

 

What's the good word!!

 

have you thought of the maf sencer freezing up.... i know on the duramaxs there having a problem .... hope this helps!!
