I've seen nothing (mine or otherwise) concerning this, if this is poison pen work, needs to be ignored (or better deleted) the new Ford Super Duty motors are cream of the crop as far as I've observed.

Thanks Joe, appreciate the kind words. Hopefully we will not be anywhere near a catastrophic failure with this truck, sure do have a bunch invested that's for sure. This was a once n' a lifetime purchase for us.
