    Hot rear brakes?

    The right rear caliper caught fire on mine July 2nd and just now got the truck back. I am not a happy camper - only 58,000 miles I never heard of such a thing. The Ford dealer tells me I am "not" the first one in the shop with the same problem. Very Costly $$$$

    Where to buy ULSD in Texas?

    Shell, Exxon, Texaco, Chevron, Citgo, Valero, Mobil all have ULSD around here, and at every station between here and Dallas.

    All over the place!

    Seems like most dealers here on the north side of Houston have each received 6-12 to top end models and lots (couple dozen or so) work trucks. Guess I have already seen at least a half dozen or more Lariats and about 6 KR on the road, and about 6 or so FX4 on the road. Out of the KR 3 of those...

    They Got me ! <tweekin' sob's>

    Me and the wife where at Willowbrook Dillards/Macy's for the whole bit; about 2 to 4 yesterday. Parked in one of my usual "protected" spaces and three little cars boxed me in. Thought I was going to have to push a couple out of the way so we could leave.

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    Thanks everyone that has contributed positively in helping me resolve this problem. I have learned a lot. In regard to the selling dealer they regard this strictly as routine maintenance. In talking with people that “know” that is not true, and both the batteries and cables are 100%...

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    Ah, $42,000 for a $20,000 truck. Keep in mind I'm old. I think the winder sticker was $50,000. I think I paid $42,000 for the truck. To me the over inflated price should have only been $20,000...........but I still think a loaf of bread is 0.19 cents and a gallon of milk is 0.49 cents...

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    I think they charge about $60 or $70 I dunno. Besides, I'm too friggin old to change my oil, thats why I pay the dealer all that money! I think my real complaint is the hassle. What should be a 1 minute solution has already been two and half hours at the dealer. And you are right, it is a no...

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    2nd part of your question. Yes to me the battery kept leaking a mess in the side just above that main big fat power cable........the dealer kept saying "no" it just stuff on the top spilling over from the top. I am not a happy camper. The dealer should have done something about this at the...

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    I have read the waranty book 100%. It says absolutely nothing I find about batteries or cables. No exclusions to batteries. Maybe I don't see it? It has only one alternator.

    Help Please - New $50,000 truck don't work

    Well almost new. 18 months old, 2006 Lariat 4x4 CC SB 23,000 miles. The passenger side battery has been corroding since new. And apparently the driver’s side has started too. On each of the first four oil changes the dealer has said “all is fine”. And yes I have the tickets that say...

    Toro or Craftsman Lawn Mower

    Toro is a lot better than Craftsman. Honda is a lot better than Toro.....70% of the yard crews aroung here (yards are done twice a week) now use Hondas. Their commercial line is top drawer, you can not get that line at Home Depot.

    Front Hidden Hitch Install

    TBar, that hidden hitch install is mighty good. I have not needed one yet, but there have been sometimes it would have come in handy. I pull a 8,000 lb wakeboard boat, and have gotten in some tight places, but managed to get out. Good Job.
