I got one better - actually I'm stealing this from the Ford Forum:

new ford sales pitch: Buy a new SD with a court ordered engine.

Yeah. I would really want a $50k truck with a motor the manufacturer made under protest.

Can't you just see those guys at that Nav engine plant after having their jobs threatened by Ford? "Oh, you want a blank blank engine? I'll GIVE you a blanking blank engine alright! You're gonna have a judge order me to put this thing together? Oh, I will get RIGHT on it!"

Yeah, I cannot WAIT to drop more than my kids college fund on that kind of a truck. LOL!

How long until navistar finds a judge a little higher up to put the stop back on my bet would be monday or tuesday Another Anna Nacole soap opera for next week.

In the meantime shipments will be slow and and i sure would not trust the quality this is no where close to being over it's going to get real ugly!

I think they should round up the guys that designed this truck that you have to remove the body from the frame to R+R the cylinder heads and either make them fix them personally or tie them to the hitch and drag them

The judge should side with navistar because ford should not be allowed to sell to the public such an unservicable pile of crap!

Once again, Ford proves it can't stop being Ford. Meanwhile, the line gets longer and longer at the Ford dealer, waiting to buy one of those great new diesel trucks. Someone should do a study on "Ford loyalty". Maybe, in the future, there will be a twelve step program for the habitual Ford loyalists. Or not.

I can't take my eyes off this train wreck.

I have a brother who is a Ford Loyalist. It is a hideous and frightening form of groupthink, especially when viewed from up close. He has a '99 F250 gasser in which, since about 2001, the dome light and cargo light come on with the headlights and stay on until you get above 20 mph. Dealer has fixed it twice and it keeps coming back. If that were my truck I would be enraged and bitter. He says, ah, it's not so bad.
