The post above was the short version. I know exactly what the problem(s) are. I had it scanned at a Kia dealership before bringing it back each time. My brother in law is the parts manager at Kia of Swansea and I trust the tech there. In a nut shell ford wants to replace the motor due to an issue with oil pressure. Its causing the computer to throw a cam code. It has a clogged oil port somewhere and the cam phasers are getting false readings and sending wrong messages to the cam sensors. This all results in a truck that runs like poop. All info was sent to Ford engineers and their diognisis was to replace the short block.
I was searching around on CL and found my truck for sale by the dealer, a month after I owned it. ILLEAGAL!!! Also found out he bought the truck from the auction with the check engine light ON. I had a friend call and inquire about it and he told him he doesn't actually own the truck but to call the Fall River Fire dept and ask for me and I could give him the details about the sale.
SCUMBAG!!!
If I didn't need the truck for transportation it would be in front of his lot with a sign. Curious to see how this plays out.
