Yeah, tell the dealer that you asked folks on the forum to diagnose your issue.

1sikFX4 ... I didn't know hitting your rev limiter would make your truck lose every gear so you can't drive! And when the truck is in park and turned off with accessory on the odometer is still cimbing like i was driving. I'll have to go in and tell the dealer that a guy on the f150 forums says that's what the problem is!
No diagnosis was offered. You've mistaken my "it was a dark and rainy night" reader's digest version of your diatribe for a diagnostic evaluation.

And the year, model, etc. of your vehicle IS?

Either provide the information in your sig', and/or profile, and/or message portion of your post(s).

Telepathic or Karnak we're not.

May be there for a long time. If the engine runs but it won't move itself, the dealer can't very well fall back on: "There are no codes and we can't duplicate the problem. Sorry, there is nothing we can do."

They may have to resort to: "Oh, they all do that. Nothing to worry about. Just continue to enjoy your new truck and come back if you have any problems."

The fact that you haven't heard anything from them likely means that your truck's turn hasn't come up yet.

Hi 1sikFX4,

I’ll be happy to assist. Is the vehicle at your dealer? Please PM me your VIN, full name, daytime phone number, and dealer info; I’ll assess the next step.

You must have experience withthe dealer because you are right! I stopped in tonight on my way home nd it still hasn't even made it in to be looked at yet! They said it might get in tomorrow morning.

They can't very well say nothing to worry about because the truck will not move, thankfully. Its something that has to be fixed for it to run.

So i picked up my truck from having the pcv valve replaced and was assured it was fixed, well 5 minutes down the road, same problem occurred, left me stranded again! So after being there a few days again, they have concluded the pcm is the problem and needs to be replaced! Is on order and will be fixed monday!

Have you been to the dealer as planned? Please share any updates including the diagnosis; I’ll assess the next step.
