rut-roe.......I do hope Ford gets this out of the way FAST! Are these Pizo's that sensitive?

I think someone put some of the connectors on backwards.

What happened to those millioins of Quality Control miles Ford put on these trucks?
This 6.4 launch is has had more bugs and set backs than the 6.0

When you build 50 trucks and drive them all over everything goes well. When you build 50,000 trucks, and you don't build the engines and someone else builds the injectors, then things go wrong. You think this is bad, you should have seen when Ford came out with the Escape. You had to do 6 recalls before you could drive it.

Man, that sux. Funny though, I have not heard of many problems with the 6.4 for the most part. Most everything I have heard has been good.

In addition KTP Paint Dept. employees are saying trucks are going out the door in which you can see the paint sealer through the base/clear.

Supposedly Ford doesn't want to hear that either.

My suggestion to buyers would be to exam any new truck under excellent fluorescent lighting not sunlight.
