I had a BAD day!!!!

[CityGuy24]

As the title says, it was a bad day. As a few of you may know my truck has been at Ford since the 19th. I took it in to have the whistling noise checked out and the leak I had. Well, the service manager assured me they knew where the problems were and it would be taken care of. So today, I get the call that the truck is ready to pick up. Well, I had to find someone to take me to get it, so I had the g/f take off work at 3:30 to ensure we would make the 5pm closing time. Well, traffic turned out to be worse than expected and we were not going to make the 5pm closing. I call the service dept and ask if they could just leave it outside, with all the reciepts of what was done to the truck. I also, make sure to tell him not to lock it cause I only have one set of keys, which he has. Well, when I do get to ford its about 5:10pm, the truck is locked. Luckily, some of the sales managers are still around and they call pop-a-lock. After waiting and hour and thirty mins my truck is finally unlocked. So, I jump in the truck, fire it up, let it warm up a bit and start down the road. I did not get a 100 yards from the dealership when I hear a loud pop under the hood followed by a loud grinding noise. I look at all the gauges and notice I have no boost at all. So I turn around and back to Ford I go. Again luckily the sale manager was just closing up, so I get to put the truck in the service bay. So tomorrow I am calling the service manager up to see what is up with my truck now. If any of you all might have some insight, please share. I am assuming, but maybe when they were working on the whistle they didnt get everything back together properly. I was really looking forward to having my truck back, since I needed it about 3 days ago with all this weather we have been having. But I guess it will be another week or two before I get it back now. Sorry for the long thread but I just needed to vent for a minute or two.

that would be my first guess. THAT IS A BAD DAY! best wishes for a happy friday!

d00d that sux. but better 100 yards rather than 10 miles down the road and you have to wait for a tow.

with all the time in service, why did they not give you a loaner?

That would be the first thing I would be asking for is a loaner. Sorry to hear about that man, sucks to hear. Hope they get it fixed for ya now.

i don't know your situation. first i have 'read' heard of your problem...


as for the 'whistle', is it just not your turbo working properly? mine makes sweet music.
or would someone care to enlighten me on the 'whole' situation?

on the other issue(s) - that was a bad day. keep us posted

It sounds like an intercooler hose came off.

 

[CityGuy24]

It was a hose, they got that fixed today. Now I have discovered another issue. When you turn the heat on, there is a loud pop under the dash. It continues to pop while you are driving it. Any idea on what it may be?

sounds like a midget under the floor boards wacking it w/ a bat?????

















it is your vacuum door slamming shut....so ford tells me - it is normal....just annoying

 

[CityGuy24]

That is exactly what it sounds like. So how do you fix it? The truck did not do it until now when I got it back from the cab off repair.

mine is way way intermittant. it is operating normal they say. nothing they will do. it is just imo that it is a strong vaccuum and pulls the door 'flapper' closed. and i too had the cab off........
