UPDATE:

while talking to my tech. today i got some insider info. on the delay of the 6.4 release. he said it is due to the ULSD!:roflmao it is puking the injectors and the hp fuel pump. they do not have one on the lot, told of the one my bro drove and he said it probably does not even have a VIN #, just a sticker claiming its exempt (demo) style vehicle. probably won't see them on lots for a good couple of months. take it for what it's worth. just passin along the ju-ju.

no pics yet?:sorry

straight out answer YES!
but the thing is he was not the one who said about the sticking vanes. that mis-communication was coming from the service writer to me. regarding him, that is a whole different story. anyway, my tech.'s buddy was the one who actually told the story. my tech just backed it up and confirmed it was truth. so somewhere it was public somehow for him to know. FWIW!

gotta believe in my tech. he knows his stuff. he told me today that he did things out of the ordinary to try and solve my problem, like dropped my exhaust to check for obstructions all the way thru..:thumbs pulled sensors, bypassed sensors all in order to check other sensors:thumbs the list is longer, ill keep it brief.

It's nice to have a tech that "go the extra mile" to help out a customer. Is your truck running better now? I tried to find your earlier post to get some updates, but couldn't locate it. If you can direct me to it, I'll take a look.

I talked with my salesman in McKinney a few days ago about the '08. He said that Ford brought them the one that was at the TX State Fair to see. He didn't say if he drove it, but I'm sure he was drooling over it.
