Ford Bashing
LIGHTNINROD:
Sorry to disapoint you, but Rj and I are not the same person.
LikeLinus:
Why don't you get a life and grow up. Name callign is so for elementry aged kids. And if both of you insist on thinking I am Rj or some fat boy, why don't you just ask my bf black f150 offroad.
Cowlady:
That is good for you that you know so much about your truck. But it doesn't make me any less of a person because I don't know anything about them. That's not my area of expertise. I work with troubled children not vehicles. Much more complicated than fixing a vehicle. But I do come on here once in awhile to check out what it's all about. I had something to say and I said it.
You all think I am so bad and you insist on being immature and cutting me down when I was only stating my opinion. I teach the children I work with to speak their minds and voice their opinions because that is the only way they are going to get any respect. Obviously your parents did not teach any of you any respect. Please, take a look at yourselves before you go cutting others down.

for all those who think RJ started - he did not start this topic - hmm. So he had a ford with a rough idle - i guess no one else complained about that either - door cracks never seen a post about that either - o and hey guess what i just heard ford has a head gasket problems too - shhh (do you guys all work for ford or do you just feel since you own a ford it cant be bad? ) I personally like my truck but I think i've had way to many problems than what i should ever had, and now to find out it isnt worth anything when i want to trade off on another ford i am just wondering who has better resale.
Like Linus - as far as claiming rj is wrong - cobra r could not be ran along the assembly line as the tires would not fit, ford has more control of dealers than you think - they are the ones who control what dealerships are paid so if a dealer ship waste time tring to fix something ford doesnt always have to pay, look at the postings of blue of certified on blueoval.com, ford trying to run the small dealerships out of business - nice
Cow Lady - who cares, did you not post your diesel stalls out?, check the diesel forum about turbo bolts falling out, still have the old o rings in your truck? If you figure that people who dont own a ford or know much about trucks should not be on here, well reality check you dont know everything and a lot of people are hear to learn and yes if people are arguing like kids why should someone not have the right to make a post. Moral of the story if people did not like to argue this topic would have ended long ago, if rj likes chevs so what, he had a crappy truck so what, personally I think all that sex in a ford was trying to say is people quit being two faced - if u have a problem with your truck u want help, but when someone bad mouths ford then they have to be wrong - go figure. P.S this topic was fun, but kinda pointless, reminds me of the v-6's that can take 5.4's
hmmm memories

The Biggest Toyota model can hardly be classified as a full size truck. Also my wife loves her Focus. It has not had any problems in the 15000 miles she has had it. The Focus has been around for a while in Europe before it was released in the US. Yes all Brands occasionally make a bad one that slips by Quality Control for whatever reason. Maybe the inspector had to pee who knows. Ford is guilty but so is every other manufacturer including the foreign ones. It does not matter where it is made. Human error does not have borders. My .02 and look no personal atttacks. Maybe more people could practice that.

How many threads are going on like this now and in the past few days? This place is going down the crapper with all these juvenile pseudo-adults that finally heard the phrase they wait for all day long: "Would Mongo like to use the computer?" Hurry and type your noninformed blither, have your juice and crackers, take a nap and get lost.

Wow, this has gotten quite heated!
RJ are you familiar with the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it"?? You might consider applying that from time to time. You've stated why your upset with Ford, and you have every right to be. Believe me I know how crappy Ford can be to deal with, I've very recently been there and done that.
But I've read many of your posts here, and all you do is bash Ford in every one of them, even threads that don't pertain to the problems that you're having. To me and many of the others around here it appears that you've gone way beyond complaining about your trucks problems and are now pursuing a personal vendetta against Ford.
Norm, very well said, I couldn't agree more!
WLF also said it right too, this is a Ford site, coming here to get a problem will get the help you seek, coming here to bash Ford won't make you any friends.
Problems occur regardless of who makes a vehicle or where it was made. Saying one brand has less problems over another is really nothing that any of us here can prove. Let's just try to help each other out with our truck problems and try to have a good time in the process!

SexInAFord, it's great that you teach children to speak their minds, just make sure it's not stupidity spewing from their mouths when they open it. Got it?
LIGHTNINROD - please god dont tell them to propagate! We don't need a litter of those people in this world.
black f150 offroad - "cobra r could not be ran along the assembly line as the tires would not fit" As uninformed and stupid as that statement was (you and sex are perfect for each other!), RJ never said anything about the Cobra R not fitting the Assembly line. He is talking about the Explorer being ran on an assembly line that cut a few tires. Cobra R isn't run off an f150 assembly line! :::scratching head:::: i'm not sure where you were going with that.
Also ""they are the ones who control what dealerships are paid so if a dealer ship waste time tring to fix something ford doesnt always have to pay"" Uh, WHAT are they controlling about paying? Warrenty Work? The only thing that Ford controls paying is warrenty work, which dealers want to do warrenty work cause they get paid for it (it doesnt come out of their pocket). Ford doesn't control how much over invoice they charge for a vehicle (the market does that). Ford does control what they charge for purchasing one from Ford, but it's a product, of course they control that! So please explain what the heck you are trying to say. You're statements are pretty damn vague and misinformed as far as i can tell.
Those canadian winters must really freeze over the brain :P

black f150 off road - I don't have a diesel! I have the 4.6! You obviously have me confused w/someone else.
That's my point - people don't read entire posts or they forget what they read, get huffy & then get even huffier when they are corrected! Your g/f herself said she hates Fords, doesn't have a Ford, doesn't know about trucks & yet she's been attacking us for our comments to RJ! We were talking TO HIM - we didn't start attacking her. If anyone is thin skinned it would be her & RJ. I have been attacked here many times when I asked people to stop the name calling or use of inappropriate language. I can take whatever insults are thrown at me because I just consider the source. I also never retaliate w/vulgar or crude language. I think I have proven that I behave as a lady as do MOST of the women here. If that upsets your g/f then tough. I am not going to change my way of responding to people who attack me & I will not back down.
Sex in a Ford - I DO admire the work you do - seriously! That's not an easy field to be in & I applaud you. ALL I said was if you're unfamiliar with trucks or engines then take that into consideration before jumping on us. RJ is getting a buy back check - I don't give a darn who is cutting him the check! He's getting what he wants, he's free to buy whatever he wants - there's NO reason for him to launch a verbal assault on us.
RJ - you aren't even funny. You like my pic? Well good! I am so happy. The friends I have here HAVE seen my pics & they liked them. Don't make any more of a fool of yourself than you already have. Please - take the money, go buy a different brand truck & when/if you have problems with that vehicle, don't come back here to tell us. Quite frankly, we don't want to hear it. Your opinion of Ford's has been duly noted - now you can leave here knowing you started trouble & go on your merry NON FORD way.
Lean N Cut - I use bold type to make sure my posts stand out as I don't want them to be overlooked. Sorry if it hurts your eyes but it's my "trademark" & I use it all the time.
Now - anyone else want to come after me? Go for it. I really don't care to continue this but I will defend myself & my friends. I've said it before & it bears repeating - take your best shot.

Cowlady, your on.
I think I can beat you but the place will have to be decided at a later time.
Man people around here get jumpy at the smallest things.
The last time I checked this message board was to communicate with others that own/love/like/whatever their F150's. Yes, if you have a problem with your truck then tell us what is wrong and there will be someone that can help. If all you want to do is put down the very thing that brought you and others to this board then go and talk to Ford Customer Service. That is what they are there for, not us. I have owned two F150's, a '87 and a '94. The '87 is still on the road, I sold it with 305,000 kms (190,320 miles) on the 300 I-6. I plan on doing the same with the '94 unless playing cop watcher for Neal "The HP Freak" catches up to the truck. There is always bad vehicles that come off of the lines and it doesn't matter who the company is. And yes, that includes Toyota. NO one is perfect, that is why message boards have gotten so popular. It is a bunch of fellow lovers of that particular vehicle getting together to share ideas and help others with their problems. So please keep the complaining to a minimum and the only one that has power to stop someone from posting on this site is STEVE "THE WEBMASTER" !!!!
Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'

Okay - where have I EVER said people can't post? ALL I DID SAY was to stop name calling & if you have nothing to post except put downs against Ford onwers, why even bother? Try to comprehend what you read before you twist my words around ok?
You know blackF150offroad - I give up w/you. There's no sense in trying to reason w/someone who is beyond reasoning with! You persist in name calling for the sake of hearing yourself talk. You haven't said anything positive so it shows your frame of mind as being difficult. Fine. There's no reason you shouldn't post here & continue to embarass yourself.
Izzy - I don't know what you thought I meant but I was saying I can handle the personal attacks against me - not racing. However I won't discount that either in the future. I've always street raced & still do sometimes. Guess I have a lead foot that just won't go away! LOL!

It's offical, black f150 offroad is the bbs moron.
You start your post off calling "like lice" and saying i'm a "moron". Yet you say someone calling canadian's is childish?? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
"as for the tire thing all i was saying is that there is some truth in what rj was saying" Apparently you didn't read what RJ said, he said nothing about a Cobra R?
I'm done with you, there really is no point in replying to you. You're a complete and utter moron, we'll leave it at that.
Eh?
