Well went to pick up my service truck today, 2005 F-550 w/6.0L diesel (its been in the shop since friday morning) and well, first time it didn`t start, second time it started, so i figured meh, whatever. I let it warm up till she gets the windshield defrosted, then I head back to the shop, as soon as i left the dealership parking lot, she stumbles and shakes and, well same-old same-old. So i take it back and tell the service manager it not fixed, they look surprised, I didn`t feel like losing my head over the situation because this truck has been like this (a lemon) *sad to say* since i got it.

So in the last month in trying to figure this out It has cost my company nearly 6k! and its still not fixed. It has had the FICM changed, ICP sensor/Fan clutch, and one injector, and they just called to say it needs another injector done. :(

well The boss, myself and I`m sure his boss has had enough, they asked what truck do I want. :thumbs:

sounds like they will get the service body refurbished and placed on a new truck. :thumbs:

Now question is ford or dodge. :dunno: ( I feel a thread comming on....:D)


If you go Dodge, you're gonna love the jake... Make sure they get you one with the jake. :lol:

Drove it to my destinations & back. Filled it with $40.00 / 14.290 gallons

As for the 3/4 ton talk, a newer Ford F250 or 350 truck with a Duramax in it, toughest body & most rebilable diesel, cant go wrong there. & it wont sound stupid like Cummins do :lol:

Not sure, for looks and power I guess. All the truck ays with it is "i'm a 6cyl that coughs up black smoke". Not meaning to insult the cummins, but I think it sounds horrible.

Finally picked up my truck today after a month and a half in the shop for blown head gaskets. As I drove home I heard a lil clank and an instand message displayed on the dash cluster "engine fail mode", then the truck sounded and ran like a old clunker. I was like :eek: :wtf: :confused: :facepalm: back to the shop. See what the future holds tomorrow. :frustration: :suicide:
