Great truck in all . . . for about a week. I bought this truck used from a ford dealership. The person before me was an older fellow, who ended up needing a truck with a bigger bed, but a bit smaller engine. So it only had just over 8000 miles on it. The first week was great. After that I went out one morning, and had no heat. So i took it down to the dealership, and they said it was the radiator. So they flushed it all out. Thinking it was kind of odd for it to be just that, I asked about the heating core . ."oh yeah" they said, let us check.OK first off they should have checked this right away. So off they went, about 20 min later they came back, said it was fine, and all was god. ((35 $ for the radiator flush, not covered by a warranty))So I hopped in and headed home. About 20 minutes on the way home . . the heat stopped. Rather upset I figured I would just wait till the next day.Next day came, so I took it down, dropped it off, and had them drive me to work . . which we won't get into. At about noon they call and said they flushed the radiator again, and that they though it might me a heating sensor. Low and behold, this sensor is not on the warranty. Had to have it I figured, so they replaced it.((35 $ for the flush 200$ for the sensor))Picked it up, and I had heat all the way home, and for the rest of the week. Great. Until a few days later I went out and had no heat. By this time I was getting really upset. Took it down, B***ed them out, and had them take me to work. Later that day they called, said they flushed the radiator. I was like "no . ." Obvioulsy it was not that, and I was not going to pay them for it, after arguing for a few minutes they hung up. About an hour later they called, "it's your battery!" I was like "NO" A battery will signal on the dash, and if the battery was bad, the truck would have problems starting, among a ton of  other things. It's not the battery. So off they went. I finally got out of work, went down, and they said they replaced the heater core. Ummmm did'nt I ask about that in the first place? Flushed the radiator, then put a  NEW radiator in. Yet they still charge me for the flush . . GRRRRR. Obviously i refused to pay.Finally I had heat. Till about 2 weeks later. Stopped at the store in the morning on my way to work, came back out, and watched pretty much everything thing in my radiator (including nuts and bolts) fall to the ground. Off to the phone I went. THey came and picked it up, put a whole in the tire as they were loading it, and took it to the dealership. Later that day I called and said forget it, I want the money back (NYS Lemon Law comes into effect here, 3 times, no fix, and under warranty). Yet they refused. So I was like OK, then give me another truck valued the same. They refused. Getting really p****ed, I headed down to get the truck myself, take it home, then call my lawyer. I got there and they had the truck in the showroom. And refused to give it too me, cause of a bad temper.So now I set 25+k in the whole (payed with cash) and no truck . .  lawyers will be called tomarrow . . .OK i'm done . . I think  . . Felt good to rant a bit though.</blockquote>
