First Try at it!

Growing up I spend most of my time playing in the dirt and using my hands. So as I matured , I tended to gravitate towards jobs and careers that involved me using my hands.

What a more perfect fit for a man that works with his hands then a trusted truck! Unfortunately I still work with my hands but the trusted truck I have not gotten yet! Oh sure I have a truck that I use for work , but the only trust I have in it, is it not to start!

When it was time to pick out a truck, I was not a informed customer. Yet a customer that wanted looks and thought all trucks were the same under the hood. HA ! As my title says, I did pick out a Ford! Ford F350 crew cab long box lariat , FX4 diesel to be exact! What does that mean , well lets break it down. First word FORD....means a truck that won't start and a company that will not stand behind it's product. The rest rest is fluff and filler! Yes that is right the best looking truck out there in my eyes, is one that does not work. I guess it holds true looks are not everything!

I mean a company that knows all of the problems with their trucks. As to go as far a suing the manufacture of the engine because of the problems. Then turning around and sticking it to all their new and loyal customers because they want a big fat bonus!! Wow Ford is not in the same boat as GM for need of a bail out! Come on now , if they stood behind their product I am sure there would be no bonuses and Alan Mulally would be on the White House lawn begging like GM did.

Well enough of this today I am sure, I know my truck is not going anywhere! Please Follow me and my Twitter@myfordsucks.

Welcome to my Blog

I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog, since Twitter only gives me 140 characters to say my piece, and let's face it - that's just not enough space.

I look forward to sharing with all of you the story of my Ford, and my experiences with Ford in trying to resolve the issues.

I own a Ford F350 Super Duty pick-up. It's a 2004, and has more issues than you can shake a stick at. The trouble is, each time I google a problem I am having with the truck, I find thousands of other F350 owners having the same issue. But Ford refuses to do a recall for the problems.

So us average Joes end up footing the bills, while those executives at Ford enjoy their great big annual bonus.
