A customer has one too. His air to air has already been hit by a rock-the grille openings are too large IMO but looks good. Too many coolers to damage out front. Any major repairs and the cab comes off as firewall connections are quick disconnect. He has had 2 recall campaigns in his 2008 F550SD..
A non regular customer called in with a 6.0PS in an 04 E350 van with 70,000 miles yesterday. The interior of the fuel tank came uncoated (for lack of better words) and he needed a quote on a fuel tank, filters, and 8 injectors. Ford dealer quoted $5800 .. I told him to call FOMOCO. He had-they said tough luck according to him. I said what about the 100K warranty? He said the fuel tank was 3 years/36 months. I'm just repeating what I was told yesterday by him. I'd be a little irate.
People with these engines either love them and have great luck or like the above.
If I had to have a diesel p/u, it would be a damned old Dodge with a Cummins even though I am a Ford man.
S/B-Enjoy your new truck as they are very nice. But get as long a warranty as you can.
