Happiness is ... getting your truck bought back????

[FATCAT]

Man, this one guy seems quite happy ... he got his truck buyback request approved.



Now its time to by another Ford ... '05 this time ... yippie!!!!!

How can you be so happy to skip from a lemon right back to another rig of the same type? Don't get me wrong I love my Cummins and I know it's a superior design but if I had those kinds of problems with it I'd be considering other possibilities.

I can somewhat see his rationale, wanting to just be through with haggling with service managers and legal negotiations, betting that the problems will not materialize in the 05s.

You know it has to be somewhere in the back of his mind

"what if this one ..... ?".



Good reason to hug your DCTD truck!

A guy I work with bought a 2001 F*rd 350 gasser. Had nothing but problems. F*rd could never get the front end aligned. They boought it back and he got a 2003 350 PSD. Electrical problems. Last week F*rd exchanged it for a 2004 PSD. He is a happy idiot.

 

[mcoleman]

Idiots. Why in the world would someone be stupid enough to buy another one of the pos Phords after having those problems with the first one. Just reading their forum is enough to make my mind up that I would never own one. Plus the fact that you don't drive a Ford SD you guide it like a barge on the river.

Guiding a raft down a river? I always thought they laid down marbles in front of the tires.

Brand loyalty can be a strange, overpowering force. Peer pressure has a VERY strong influence as well. If you work/play with a group all driving Fords, would you really feel comfortable in another brand? Do ya see many Hell's Angels riding Gold Wings?



Don't forget, WE have a few blindly loyal DC fans HERE too!

If I had to do a buy back on mine, I'd replace it with another Dodge... . once. From reading the TDR for several years now, I know the odds would be in my favor in getting a good one.

 

[MrWinkey]

If I had a ton of problems with my Dodge and all my reading/studying had proven to me that Ford's new powerhonker motor or Chevy's new durazinger would have been better I would be looking at them.



I cant belive some people are just like sheep... ...

 

[Greenleaf]

Pretty sick IMHO

[Po' Riggity]

Hell, I only test drove one PSD before I bought my dodge, and I gotta say, Id never buy one. . and if I DID buy one, and it got bought back, I sure as hell wouldn't even look at another ford as long as I lived.

No. But I see guys who would turn up the old nose at an excellent Japanese bike but they Harley stickers in their Dmax windows. Go figure.

 

[Big_Daddy_T]

I like japanese bikes. Have owned a few. Im still wary of harley from its quality issues almost 30 years ago.

My last ford pickup spent too much time in the shop so I figured I woiuld try something different. I was pleasently suprised. I still like fords( I was raised around fords) but have been very impressed with these dodges. I will own another one as long as they keep up the good work.



I was just over at the nhtsa site and was reminded how badly they did with the 6. 0 launch. Those guys are fiercely loyal and ford knew it. I think some of them are on their third truck after buybacks. Eventually you are bound to get a good one so I guess I understand the logic. The problem is every truck built for the first 6 months has extremely failure prone injectors. There are going to be a lot of damaged engines. Ford will be glad when these engines are off warranty. Can you imagine the resale of one of these with 100k on the clock? Something about a 10 foot pole comes to mind.

INSANITY...

is doing the same things, the same way, again & again and expecting a different result.

 

[GFrance]

I see that the first ferd guy was from Arkansas. Is'nt that the Show Me State. Maybe they believe in the third times the charm philosophy. Oh thats right it was Missouri

 

[Mad Bomber]

truck

They will NEVER learn LOL That's why they buy a furd

 

[Big_Daddy_T]

The have a no problem post over there. I read it and was suprised how many of these "trouble free trucks" have had issues. They accepted that it was gonna have problems and are proud that they have had only a few.

It runs great the third set of injectors was the trick. I tried the 2nd reflash but I like the 3rd one better. The truck has been flawless. I guess its a ford thing. If you have had it reflashed or an injector replaced. Then it is not a trouble free truck. Just my take on it. So of all the trouble free trucks. Maybe a little more than half were trouble free. If you got your first one bought back and now have a good running truck you are still only batting 1 out of 2.

If I have to take my brand new truck in twice in the first 100k. I am dissapointed. On that note. I lost a lift pump at 80k. I guess I shoulda got a more reliable truck and went with the 6. 0. Im at 99k right now. I shoulda dumped this lemon after it went in the shop for its first warranty repair. Post about problem free trucks
