Not much of a fight when they OWN the name/brand Powerstroke. You have to remember, Ford folks seem to be blindly loyal to Ford. Their response to the 6.0 is "it wasnt that bad." or "they fixed them after 2004/05" both of which are crap statements. The 6.0 WAS that bad. ITs horrible!! And no, they NEVER got the problems fixed. They addressed some issues, but you could go buy a brand new 07 and have the same problems as 03 owners had.

And ask many Ford owners. They owned an 03, had problems so traded it in on an 04. Again, more problems, traded on an 05. Yet more issues, traded on an 07. Still problems. Now have a 6.4 and its gods gift to the world. Go ahead, ask them!

Does it make sense to continually buy the same POS again and again...? No. But thats a Ford owner for you
