I'll tell you what. I'd rather have a Ford and it's problems, rather than all the other POS trucks on the market.
I might have been able to save a couple bucks with a private mechanic, or he could have made it worse? So, at this point - spending $1,260 on repairs is a drop in the bucket considering I got 105,000 miles on the truck with zero issues.
Other than brakes, tires and a battery. My 2005 F150 is a great truck !

Forget all the good stuff I said about Ford, they are big pieces of crap, just like all the rest.
My dealer called me with "bad news".
He wants me to pay for the heads to be removed b/c they can't get one plug out, period. All he said, was this could cost thousands of dollars.
Great, just great.
Solutions:
Don't pay them anything, don't make my payments, and let the bank take it away.
See if they would be will to trade it in, for another POS.
See if they will work something out with me, b/c there is no way in hell I'm going to spend $5,000 to change my spark plugs....
