brand new truck, 6000 miles on it and already on the hook here in Vegas after sitting 4 hours waiting for a wrecker, and told no parts in the country on line to order for it, 6000 miles and turbo gone
so now what ?? have to go home without a truck and leave it here ? will find out in the morning BUT Why in the heck can they build something that does not people go though this
too much made with China/Tawain JUNK PARTS,, put a new water pump on our 7.3 power stroke from Ford/Motorcraft and MADE IN DAMN CHINA
Just when is it going to stop......

Vehicles today have very modern comforts...
AC heat for each persons space...
Sound systems that are equal to a. Movie theater
Gps .. power this , power that ....
Never. Have to set points ,valves , adjust brakes ....
but it comes with a price
High dollar & takes a technician with specialized tools to repair
Think it will ever go the other direction ?

new trucks no matter what brand needs a computer shoved up to see what it did,, this one we got to save from running up more miles on the F-650 since it's getting up there but this has none of that GPS fancy junk or camera's etc.. and this dealership says the mechanics are not allowed to talk to the drivers what kind of
is that guess its becoming a robot world or companies wants just a body to fulfill a space and no mind or can think

well we got out of there,, Peterbilt did not want to pay tow bill, but they did see it my way after a lot of threats to them, called main company in Seattle on them, they said tow bill would be paid under warranty on Tuesday BUT not Monday,
so that's when it hit the fan,., just because the warranty girl does not work on Mondays, Now have another call to Main office because for some reason on the truck on the wheel lift for some strange reason the valve cap came off while sitting there and the core loosen up and flat tire occurred
