Your odds of having to do buyback were probably inflated due to that fleet of them you have, heh. Anyway, I know this is not a firearms forum but I have a smattering of CZ handguns, they are excellent.

I heard back from the Dealership today and the whine on start up was caused by a bad alternator, they have ordered the part and will replace it soon. The Ford Engineer will be in tomorrow so maybe they will find the problem with the cylinder 4 misfire. This is one step closer to getting my truck back.

I get that but how many of these stories do we hear? Way too many.

My truck is going on 5 years old...Soooo many gripes about these 3.5 ecos and I really don't think Ford has a handle on anything these days. I already had my cam phasers and timing chain replaced thanks to the "rattle".

Its time for a new truck again...maybe a Denali with 5.3 is the way to go.

Denali with the 6.2 would be better, imo.

Im loyal to my wife and kids...

Fords are rusting too...lots of lower cab corners.

I like the eco but if I had to do it again, I'd just buy the V8.

Any indications as to what they did?
