They got some really good deals on the 2014s that are still on inventory. Trade it.

That may be an option but I have other company vehicles that were needing to be replaced before mine. If I do I'll wait a few more months, there's tons of 14's right now and 15's are supposed to start hitting lots heavily in Feb. Dealers have only been getting one here and there so far so 14's should get discounted even more

Truck will be going to the dealer either end of this week or early next. Fuel pressure is in green on the graph above...it is dropping at random times. When it drops Afr goes lean, so the throttle plate closes to protect the engine. Just not sure if the fuel pressure dropping is a cause or a symptom. It could be limiting fuel because of the timing chain, but you have to use IDS to monitor the timing. So going to have the dealer do that...and if that checks out they will have to try and figure out why fuel pressure drops. Hopefully close to having it figured out.

Dealer says its the timing chain stretched. About $1800-2000 to get it fixed up. Truck will get full synthetic with 3,000 mile intervals from here on out to address the fuel dilution of the oil that contributes to this stretching issue. Should get it back hopefully end of the week and we'll see if its fixed for sure

You havent traded this pile yet?!?!

[maplelakeduckslayer]

Nope, if this fixes my issues and it runs like its supposed to when tuned, theres nothing else like it. Its almost scary how hard it pulls and fun it is to drive with a tune in it working properly. It flat out goes.

A twin turbo on an american made vehicle is comical. It is good in theory but not with bad engineering. And I like Fords.

[maplelakeduckslayer]

They have it opened up today and working on it, chain was off a full tooth. They said theres no other visible damage so hopefully that's the case and now knowing this is an issue, take steps to prevent it happening again in 100k miles.

The hemi makes more power. Has less issues. And costs less upfront.
