class action lawsuit..............
Service manager brought a local newspaper out yesterday, there was a huge add on it with a picture of an 08 superduty on it asking owners of 2003-2010 Ford trucks to contact his number blah blah blah about a class action lawsuit against Ford for all the issues associated with them. I think he said it was in all the Oklahoma and TX newspapers....................kinda funny. I Know those Navistar engines are huge piles of shit (6.4 especially).............but Ford has some deep pockets..................interesting to see how this pans out.

I'm gonna take a guess that the only people getting any money out of this deal will be some lawyers.

Well I know if I had shelled out $50k for a truck to sit in the service shop all the time I would be more then a little PO'd. I am a die hard Ford guy but they deserve it. Everybody can have a bad year but gee whiz, wasn't it about 7 bad years??

Re: class action lawsuit..............
the 6.0/6.4 was so bad Ford went out and did their own thing. The way I understand it all the issues Ford was having they were not allowed to make any changes due to the lack of permission from Navistar, then you had the whole falling out between the 2. That 6.4 deal is a pile I tell you, I agree one should not have to have a 50k truck in the shop all the time. It sure has been good for my income though the last 8 years or so...............and even more so now with a great percentage out of warranty...........Funny thing is as big as a piece of crap they are and have known this for many years now people still buy um up...............we cant keep any used superdutys in stock.

I took my 7.3 down and had the front end aligned and when they got it in the shop Ford dealer aproached me and ask when I was going to trade it off cuz they had a guy waiting on 4 of them and would give me a good deal on it....He said it would be gone before I got the papers signed....I told them not till ford made a good one to last more than 15 minutes without working on it....mine has 250,000 on it and I feel it will go double that with no problems.....

Coug, you need to get one of the new ones, they are the just as good as the old 7.3 only quieter and a lot more power.

I did work on a couple 7.3's this week btw lol. They both had over 280k, both were rattle traps also. One of them we put a pan and front cover on two months ago............

Coug, I've pulled over 20mpg with it more than one time just driving, and pulling a trailer it does about 15mpg.

Re: class action lawsuit..............
Yeah. But you still gotta piss in the tank.
That 6.4 I had made me appreciate my 7.3. I'll drive it till the wheels fall off. Maybe I'll buy a used 6.7 one day. But until then I'll stay payment free...
