The truck has 1400 miles on it.The dealer reprogrammed the pcm today they could not fix it.I gave up on them and went and took it from them.I am going to take it to a dealer with a better service dept. on Monday.It does not look good right now.

But if Ford admitted it's a problem per your earlier post....? Why not let them have it until it's resolved? Shouldn't they supply you with a rental whatever until then or exchange the truck? Kinda confused....

They keep it four days only worked on it one day the other days did not even believe there was a problem.They had no clue what to do next.The dealer I am taking it to Monday has a good diesel tech and closer.The other dealer called me on the way home and said they would give me something to drive.Little to late.I am going to call Ford my shelf about giving me something to drive or replacing the truck.

My experience with diesel's is that all diesel mechanics are not created equal. A dealership is only as good as the diesel mechanic on payroll. If you don't trust your dealership, take it to another one. You deserve to have the best person working on your truck.
