I was just playing with them, when I said I only had $20,000 to spend, I got up to leave & the MANAGER to me to sit down, that he had to make a phone call, He came back & told me the best deal they can do is $21,698 SO I BOUGHT IT, I now have 1,243 miles & it's running perfect, my MPG are 12.8 to 14 in the city.

Power adds alot to the price, sounds like you got a pretty good deal. I thought I did until I hit 30,000 miles. It regened 3 times before that. The mechanics at the ford house hadn't dealt with one that did it to the extreme that mine was. I got a bulletin from another dealer that was sent out in Feb 07 that says its normal for it to do the stuff mine is doing - i bought mine in Nov 07. Going back to the dealership where I bought it (further away from me than the one thats been working on it) and asking them why they didn't metion that they were having issuses with these trucks when I bought it. I will keep y'all posted on whats happening so if anybody else has a problem like this they will know what to say or not to say. Preciate the advice and hope you enjoy your truck more than I'm enjoying mine. :c:

HI 94cummins12v, Tell your dad to take it to the FORD dealer, cause that 6.4 POWERSTROKE has a problem, then come back and let us know what the problem was !!

if its your problem man i would look up matt at spartan diesel, get the tunes, rip out the dpf and all the other crap and open that truck up to about 500 rwhp:c:

why doesnt he take it into the shop. get it checked out new trucks have problems. END OF CONVERSATION. even the new CUMMINS has a lot of problems!!

I'm going to wait before I go crazy, and soup up the 6.4 psd, I don't want to have my warranty voided on this new engine.

Still in the process of getting them to buy it back - if they don't I'm gonna have to do something so i can at least drive it - 500 horse sounds pretty tempting :humm: :choochoo:

If the truck is giving you problems, Make them take it back !!! EVEN if you have to hire a lawyer !!!! DON'T GET STUCK WITH A LEMON !!!:ph:

i had a 6.0 for a year and i replaced 1 injector and 4 powerstearing pmps other than that i liked it

I think this is the best truck FORD has put out, The frame is stronger, the brakes grip better, the interior is looks better, now we have a 5 speed tranny, more HP & TQ than any other POWERSTROKE !!!!
