Wow, this is a pretty big fail so far Rick. The 7.3 Excursion is the way to go next time or a gasser.

The plot thickens...
So warranty hasnt even been paid for yet. Ford Dealership gave me some print outs. http://www.ranger-forums.com/attachm...1&d=1322501938 http://www.ranger-forums.com/attachm...2&d=1322501938 http://www.ranger-forums.com/attachm...4&d=1322501938 http://www.ranger-forums.com/attachm...1&d=1322502139 |
So, there "planning" on letting you return the truck? Pay em' $500 to take it back if you have to, it'll be worth it in the end. If it's any consolation, I would have thought the diesel would have been the better option too.
:lessonlearned: |
Wow is it stolen or rebuilt?

There are VIN tags on the frame and engine. Shouldn't be hard to find one and run it through carfax or similar database. It would be interesting to know the truck's whole story. |
Wait, the cluster is from a gas truck? Does it have a gas tach?
e: Yep, it definitely has a gas tach. The diesel tach only goes to 5000, this one goes to 6000. :rofl: |

Poor Rick...

Holy shit, I really hope this turns out well.

When I said 6.0s have major component failures, I didn't mean the VIN tags :giggle:

^^^ Looks like the line item charges for Frankenford diagnosis were $54.50 plus $163.50. Seems a little steep IMO.
"Yep, we looked it over, can't help you. That'll be $246.34 sir." |

It is a 6.0, that alone is the problem according to everyone on here. I bet it is a mix of the two.
Rick is at the dealership that be bought the truck at. I am trying to convince him to live stream the whole thing with his phone. the guy who sold me the truck genuinely is worried. the small owner of the company seems to slightly care the majority owner doesnt give a shit and said "oh well".. "people change engines all the time". When I told him the bank alone said I should get a police report he said "i dont care, police cant do anything". He was kind of a dick but I played it cool. Cards are all in their hands really. Right now I am out a good trade in which I will take back, out cash which i may not see again and owe a bank. Overall, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they are handling it. I get the impression they dont want me to spew about it on the net.

"Yep, we looked it over, can't help you. That'll be $246.34 sir." I am not even close to being out of the woods right now. The dealer has the X, the dealer has my trade in and money. Really, I have a bill to the bank to pay. I cant even remove insurance from it because a partial amount is financed. To say I am not worried would be a lie. This easily could go south and I could be screwed. |
From my experince as a Tech, then service writer, then manager at a Ford dealer
1. Aftermarket warranties are so bad, they arent worth the paper they are printed on. Absolute waste of money... Get Ford's Premuimcare, or nothing else. 2. Excursion is one sweet truck. 3. The 6.0 is the worst mistake Ford made since the contour. Swap it for a turbo miata motor. and good god.. Diesel engine in a gas truck is going to be a nightmare.. I don't know about emissions laws in your area, but here it is illegal for a dealer to sell a car that wont pass. There may be an angle there. |

As for the e-test here, diesel only requires a visual and guess what, passed perfect! :jerkit: |
Rick, if they put up even the slightest bit of resistance, lawyer up ASAP.
|
^Yep.
You never posted the engine pics I requested :cry: |
