Last week, the 6.0 in my older Excursion ('03) was acting funny. I dropped it at the dealer and they put a new EGR in it- said everything OK. Went to start it Friday AM and it would barely run. Looking at the odometer, it read 99998.4. I had 1.6 miles left on my factory warranty. I called a pal who took it back to the dealer on his rollback. Picked it up this evening- they replaced the fuel pump and all 8 injectors plus a bunch of little stuff. I figure this would have been about a half gazillion dollars if I had to pony up for the bill.

Once in a blue moon, I catch a break.

I'm a happy guy!

DAMN! You scored on that one. Do you realize how much those injectors cost??........They're about 320 each (after 160 core on the old ones) plus labor.

Yes- mucho dinero. Big job working on anything on that motor. I had a $6 hose spring a leak right after I got it. Took them 9 days to return the truck. The hose is under the turbo somewhere. The tech had another one in the next bay while he was doing mine- for head bolts. Had the entire front clip off the truck. Said it was the only way to get to everything on the motor.

Yep, std procedure to do just about anything on the diesels is to separate the cab from the chassis. Crazy, even the simple things cost a fortune in labor.

Your title had me think'n something else!!! Glad the truck thing worked out!

OK- so my level of expectations has come down over the years. At least I don't BS myself on the "possibilities" anymore.

I'm guessing that in 30 years a bowel movement will suffice for REALLY lucky.
