Oh and my emails have been retuned by at least 5 different "customer service reps" None will say in writing why they wouldn't extend the courtesy of a little help, only that warranty was denied.

"Collin" - if that's his real name, isn't some Contractor - he works for GMC! (Only Gov't Motors would have the $$$ to construct the awesomeness that was the photochop of that Ford - that dirt, it's not real!)
Can't you see? Are you all blind? "Collin", joined this forum almost 10 years ago just waiting for this time! 10 years of minding his p's and q's, to unleash his devious plan to bash Ford and drive consumers away from the mighty blue oval?
Of course this is the only explanation for any defamation of finest mechanical beasts Detroit has to offer.
And now I sabotaged an exhaust sensor!
Page 16 had some great replies, but this is one of my favourites. Thanks again to all the guys who have been supportive.

Just came back from the trip to Bakers Blast soccer tournament in Bellingham. Switched the lie-o-meter to standard and it showed 8.5 mpg for the trip. Truck ran great, didn't weigh it this time but from previous weigh-ins I was probably right around 14,500 lbs with camper, wife and 3 girls.
Not sure, but I may put the truck up for sale now that it's back to 100%. May go gas, may go 2003-2007 Cummins or Duramax, but Ford has lost me as a customer at this point.

Trade it for Dodge or Duramax.
Though I would get new with warranty if I were you.

I just missed an early 2007 Cummins 5.9 with 30,000 miles. Beautiful inside and out with the 6 speed manual. Been kicking myself in butt for the last 3 days. It was cheap (guy wanted what the dealer was going to give him for trade in).
Mine ~ 2011 Ford F350 6.7 SRW, CC/LB, Lariat, Navigation, FX4, 20's, Black with Black Guts.
Hers ~ 2012 Ford F150 Raptor, Blue Flame, Crew Cab, 6.2L
GONE!!! 2010 Chevy Tahoe LTZ 5.3 ~ Most worthless POS ever!
2007 Keystone Montana Mountaineer 30FKD TT
I stopped buying Ford after the second lemon in 2 years, and haven't looked back. Probably good for them too, they got tired of hearing me complain every month.
Calling all US-ers there are Socialists in Canada, lets all jump in our trucks and invade Canada to help our friends eradicate the menece of the socialistic practice of Ford customers... sorry I don't know what came over me it must be my PTSD from Vietnam or it was some bovine minutia I read from a know it all.
