get an email 4 hours later that the diagnostics came back and to address the issues they found it'll cost me a smooth 3500 dollars lol. I bought the truck brand new, its about 30 months old. I take good care of it, certain don't rag it out. And this isn't meant to be a Ford bash post. I actually love the truck and was fine with Ford. Truck has about 60K miles on it. I don't know the point of this post honestly, i guess just to share some misery haha.

You didnt buy the 125,000 miles or 3 year extended warranty?

Go to AutoZone, have them pull the code, Google the code and how to fix it yourself. It's potentially a really easy fix.

Better yet, buy a scan tool for yourself. They're only about $20-$30 on Amazon for a basic one.

What isn't covered by the warranty?

I have a co worker that needs new heads on his 5.0 to fix a recurring check engine light. Less than 100k miles.

Good luck if I had to guess Ford will say pound sand on warranting that under goodwill.

Every brand has problems but I see a lot of high dollar out of warranty repairs on Fords on the current models.

Why would you take it to a dealership?

Of course they will rape you

Today, I took in the car of the person who wants to be Mrs. Chemist for the 60K maintenance schedule...$900+. Not your $3500, but no one likes spending money on this.
