Before today his last post was 12-26-2004, 07:06 AM. Too funny. Coming in here flaunting his new Tundra and dumping his "troubled F150", all the while not posting here for 2 1/2 years. Not cool.

I'm still trying to digest the fact that he's had such catastrophic issues with 4 trucks and he thinks it's because they were Fords. I mean, yeah they were all Fords, but that just really seems too coincidental.

Given the current track record of the brand new "T", I'm not sure his luck is going to improve. Anyone should expect teething issues on a brand new design, but this new "T" is having some pretty serious root canals!

It's kind of nice having an 04 F150 and an 07 Tundra because I can jump in on these little spats. There's gonna be some bad apples out there for both makes. I've read quite a few problems on the F150 and the Tundra. 20 camshaft failures is accurate and they were traced back to a certain plant in the first month production and was only on a few of them (20) which out of the amount sold isn't that bad. Now, it's still early so we'll see what happens with them. I haven't had any problems with the F150 or the Tundra and think they're both good trucks. Congratulations on your new truck but instead of posting on the F150 forums you should have just posted on the Tundra forums because what good are you really trying to achieve by posting here? Seems more like trolling to me.

Can you back your claim of ".... only 20 trucks had cam failures?"

Yeah, now that I think about it....
Pinky makes a dozen posts in 5 or so years, then feels compelled to start a thread about how he's buying a brand new "T" due to all the insane problems he's had on the last 4 trucks he's owned, which were Fords.

Seems he should have just slipped out the back door since no one would have noticed.

Here's the article you requested and to my knowledge they haven't had anymore. Now everyone stop model bashing and just enjoy what you drive because it's the best truck for you.

Dumb question, go easy on me!

I am new to the forum thing so please excuse my lack of knowledge. How do I get my signature, all the stuff I have done to my truck to come up with all my posts? I know I know, stupid question. I have my signature turned on, but it still doesnt come up. Any help? Moderator?

We have both noticed pinkie's a glutton for punishment, both for him and his vehicles.

You haven't created a signature. To do that, go to USER CP and click on edit signature. Be sure to click save changes at the bottom of the page prior to exiting. From that point forward, when you click the 'SHOW SIGNATURE' check box, it'll show.
