On another note I will be texting Norm this as his daughter has been having similar issues with her 2015 although that is a slightly different motor as the 2016 was second gen from my understanding.

At my insistence they kept the truck for an extra week to see if they could get it to do this random long start. As of last Thursday (super hot day here) they did get it to stumble start on one occasion on a hot start while it was hooked to computer. The data from the crank sensor didn't look right. So they were replacing that last Friday and asked to keep it thru the weekend to finish up Monday and test which I agreed thinking it was a good idea.
So this morning I get a call, they apparently came into the shop this morning with a big red puddle of transmission fluid under it. Appears to be front seal leaking and they are pulling the transmission now..... :rolleyes:
I'm leaning more and more towards selling this...... :popcorn:

sounds to me like that is all on their dime since they have been in control of it (for what 2 weeks?) !!!!!!!!
if I recall, I do believe GMC has a pretty big rebate off their 1500's..…..just sayin :popcorn:

The wife and I have also been discussing narrowing the fleet a bit. With Baylee driving that’s another vehicle to insure and have available for use if one breaks down. We’re limited on space here in hippy land so that would give me more work space in garage too. Within a year I’m going to have a second daughter with vehicle driving. Wife’s car will be close to 100k on odometer by years end. So we have discussed selling the truck, and trading in her Lexus. Get her something that fits the family & can pull a small trailer when we need it. Yes, Jeep can pull small trailer too. So we’ll see.....
Jeep pickup with diesel is supposed to be out early next year too....

I don’t think from my research I paid any less for the ford & the least expensive truck I ever drove was in fact a ford (2002 f-350 7.3l 4x4).....

To buy or to fix?
Straight, it will get fixed. Part of the problem currently is the two new vehicles I’m interested in are not yet released. Which is the bronco & the Jeep pickup....

I know a guy who has an amazing pickup for a growing family, it’s red with lots of bed space. Seems to be really well maintained. Reasonable price compared to all those new things with more potential issues you mentioned.

I could be wrong but pretty sure you have to remove the entire intake/turbos to change injectors. And the real issue is likely the O-rings they seal with.

So as a precautionary measure while they have it out the converter, pump, valve body and seal are all getting replaced.
Truck has 58k on it & I have coverage until 90k, this buys me two years. I do not plan on having it past 90k.

FWIW the F250 rides as good or better than our "Heavy tow" F150 Eco Puke. Than you can be like me, drive up along side a Newer Chevy, get the drivers attention, and take my hands off the wheel and watch them panic LoL Chevy guys steer a LOT =)
Or you can explain to the Chevy guy looking at your 35" rubber lovingly that "ya I just put them on, no lift" drives nice.
Another fun thing to do is while they are pouring DEF in their new Durmax ya can say "ya I get 12mpg but its only $1.65 a gallon as you fill with E85 and smile.
Just some ideas.... :grin:

I'd just pressure your dealer who managed to ruin a transmission just sitting there waiting to be fixed, to work you a wonderful deal on a different problem LoL

KooT - your line of reasoning harkens back to college and sayings about ugly girls and the dark or something like just cause you can doesn’t mean you should.....I don’t even like RENTING a Ford!
Post by: Flyin6 on July 03, 2018, 01:00:01 PM
I don't like the Fords either
But, each to his own, I'm glad some of you are happy with them
I owned them before
one F150 Lightening truck, and two F250's, both diesels.
94 powerstroke, 5 speed 4.10 gear truck seemed OK, but these days, I think they are flat ugly
...Just my opinion
My sons and I play a game while driving
We call the game, "F-150"
The way it works is, before leaving for some destination, pick a number.
Each picks a different number
The number is your estimate for the actual number of F150's you will see enroute.
You will be absolutely amazed at how many you see out there
It all started a couple years ago when I made a random statement, "Boys, if you ever get into an accident with another vehicle, chances are it will be a black F150 that hit you."
Funny as it sounds, I'll bet if you take a drive, the odds are good that you will not only see a black F150, but actually see two of them in a row sometimes.
Try it...

Well, your post is interesting and some of it not far off. When I get ready I will be speaking with them about another Ford potentially and we will discuss the amount of days this one I bought from them spent in their garage versus mine...……..
Post by: OldKooT on July 03, 2018, 01:34:42 PM
Ford F250- up: work trucks
Ram 2500-up work trucks
Chevy 2500 up old people 5th wheels haulers which is kinda like work right?
Just fact=)
and yah Don I see a F150 black even, every day in my driveway. I'd prefer a Chevy over the F150...see I am rational :laugh: also I can claim to not own the F150 thankfully.

Remember how I said that I told my pre-rangers that if they ever got into an accident they would be hit by a black F150?
Yesterday while walking out of HD with the youngest, he stumbles and nearly got hit by a...BLACK F150!
No joke!
Wasn't all that close, but cause a moment of reflection.
Then he remembered what I said and I saw the light come on.
He then started looking for black F150's
and
Counted SIX, yes SIX in the HD parking lot alone!
My daughter's husband drives one too...
So sad... :knucklehead: :facepalm:

Another six F150's sighted, two were black...No kidding.
F150: 1. Most built of any pickup in America (world??)
2. Pickup with the least uniqueness in America
3. Winner of the " Wanna see yourself coming and going, award!"

This coming from the guy that started a thread on an F150 that he, himself, owns. SMH
Ken, my work trucks were always Ford. Other than the 04 1 ton 6.oL which was great until 150k this is the only other problem child Ford I have owned. I don’t have patience on a vehicle I’m paying good money for so it’s going down the road. I bought it right and it served its purpose running back and forth across country. That’s done for the near future so it can find a new home soon.
