none here...but i might suggest that youre at best not confident in
this dealership to do anything more than take your cash (rather than
diagnose and FIX your truck).

I offer to them, that because of the amount of cash your outta pocket
and given the fact that the truck STILL isnt repaired that I'd make a
deal/offer to them....they put the NEW PCM in...and if the problem isnt
resolved (after having driven it a few days) you WONT pay for any
of the cost of the PCM or the labor...

if theyre so SURE of whats wrong w/ it they shouldnt have a problem
w/ this (given their inablity to repair the truck to date)...its one thing
to pay for problem diagnoses and repair parts...its something else
to be taking STABS in the dark @ the problem.

This is why, when the truck is out of warranty, it never see's the ford shop again. its much cheaper to take it to a repair shop, and most likely they will fix it right the first time! id be goin there raisin hell if i were you. talk to every higher up you can until it gets fixed. and get that tech fired!

hard start 6.0

I am lucky? Mine is under warranty. Ford has been screwing with my hard starter for a year. they have changed all sensors, wiring harness, all related items, even the short block, but no help. The truck periodically, 3-4 times a week, cranks very long. Three or four cycles. warm or cold, all weather. Ford engineers are stumped but not willing to offer a buyback. Any suggestions?

sorry RB but how lucky are you REALLY...all those things and
youre truck still isnt fixed !?!

you could have glow plug issues, injector issues, HPOP problems the
list goes on...but if your dealer had really swapped everything it seems
to me even THEY would have caught the problem by now.

i cant stand dealers like this...they dont train the techs to troubleshoot
its just rip, replace and HOPE they found the problem

RB...find another dealer !
