First week flat tires. In one month three clutch fans. New brakes 4 times. Transmission went out at 31,000 miles. New wiring harness at 32,000 miles. New water pump at 32,000 miles. Engine light stays on. New fuel pump, an fuel filter at 36,000 miles. I payed for all of this. Spark plug wires, spark plugs. Two fuel injectors. To much to list. Been in the shop for 7 years. Only has 57,050 miles.
This is not a good truck. How ever I like the way it's made.
Did you ever think that maybe its your driving that is making the truck go bad, not the actual truck. Not every vehicle is perfect, but they can last a long time and not have problems as long as you drive decent! This is the driver not the Ford!
Since when are flat tires the fault of the manufacturer or a quality issue? Clutch pads need to be replaced if you are riding the clutch constantly or just don't drive a standard well. Likewise, a transmission will "go" on you if you abuse it. How about performing routine maintenance? This could also be a case of the mechanic who "saw you coming". If you complain what a rotten vehicle you have, some mechanics will gladly make it so.
If the truck is this bad, why keep it for seven years and state that you like it?
Smells fishy to me.
It is also odd that you like the truck's build quality when it keeps falling apart before your eyes.
Well maybe if the truck is a standard and you don't know how to drive a standard is some of the reason you have so many problems. Flat tires are part of life. I agree with you that the truck is made well, but maybe if you would treat it better you wouldn't have as many problems.
