Keep on them, they acknowledged a problem, don't let them off the hook. Its a pain in the rear end, I know, but why should you suffer financially. Did you take this to the selling dealer?

yes it is still Ford who is paying for the repairs. But, Ford does not pay the dealer the same amount that a normal customer would pay. So its not as profitable to the dealer. But, if you take the truck back to the dealer for the same repair 3 times then you should be able to claim it as a LEMON. I have a slight rough idle in my 07 also but its not bad enough for me to worry about.

You getting any codes?

Yea rplatt is right about that, dealers hate that work cuz they get chewed down by ford, same when your insurance pays hospital bills. They charged like $16,000 when i broke my arm the insurance chew them down to $7,000
