You know on some forums if you posted the above the response would be;

It just seems like there are more problems with Fords because there are so many more of them on the road due to the fact the F series is the best selling truck :-laf :-laf :-laf I LMAO when I read that on another fora

Another statement I read a lot on the Ford sites is some are good some are bad. Its a "coin toss".

Remember their old ad slogan that went something like this; "95% of all ford trucks registered in the past 10 years are still on the road"... we all know what that means now don't we :-laf ..... the other 5 % made it home !!!!

My salesman from Dodge told me that a lot of trucks (5) he sold this month were with refunds from CA. lemon law that Ford had to buy back. Can you imagine how many trucks there really are if you figure the percentage between both D/C and GM and all sales for the few years the 6. 0no has been sold.

I had a FORD service manager tell me(yep one of those his cousins buddy says) in mid year 04 that his DSM told him that the Ford 6. 0 was costing Ford a millon bucks a day in warranty repairs and buybacks. Now this service manager is a somewhat friend of mine and we I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER chat from time to time and he is a straight talking guy. Ford fans said NO way that they(Ford)could eat this kind of money and no way could warranty claims and buy backs cost that much daily. But I thought about it a while and CAN see nationwide how a million bucks a day in warranty and buy backs could happen fairly easily with the cost of labor/parts/replacing vehicles,rentals and so on.

It's not just the Powerjoke engines that are bad, there gas engines have problems too and so does the rest of the truck and SUV's. I had an F-250 once, but I will never again have another.
