Default I'm PISSED!!!

Finally broke down and bought a Ford Truck... Loved the way they looked...
Bought it used not even 2 months ago, with 79k on it.. 04 XLT 4x4.
Was loving it until I went out this morning and the damn thing won't start!!!!
Cranks over fine, must not be getting fuel...I don't know, not a good start to my Ford experiences.
I better not be paying for this fix!!

Sounds like a fuel pump. If i was you, i would check all your fuses in the cabin and under the hood, and also located the ground for the fuel pump and make sure its properly grounded. I know GM fuel pumps whine like hell (and thats normall), so when it stops that it is a good tell tail sign that you dont have working pump anymore. Maybe ford fuel pumps do this? dunno

Why would you not be paying for this repair?

seriously, that is a bunch of bull to expect that kind of warranty for a used vehicle with that many miles.

I understand your frustration since you just bought the truck. However, it may not be dealer responsibility because the truck did have 79k miles on it when you bought it, about time for things to start going bad on it. The dealership may not have even known it had issues when they sold it to you. Did you get any type of warranty such as 3 month 1k miles when you bought it? Take it back in if you can't find the problem and talk with them, you may actually be able to work something out.

Dude you need to check your attitude. Anything you own cost money. House, car, phone, whatever it is. Ford chevy dodge they all have maintenance and other costs involved.

Buy a bike, oh wait, you will have costs with that too.......flat tires, oil for the chain, WHAT TO DO! Chill out and welcome to the real world. Sounds like you can solve this for cheap so quit cryin. Just my opinion. :-)

You need to chill. You bought a USED vehicle. It could've happened with a new vehicle too, but then it'd be covered.
I'm going to assume that you're still quite young (16-20), since you don't seem to understand how things work. Unless you had some extended warranty or something with the dealer... you're gonna eat it.
Don't let this turn you off to Ford's though, cause the same thing will happen with every other auto maker out there.
