becuz coyotes and foxes are the same thing. makes cents.

Touche'

I'm not saying other makes don't have issues. All makes have issues to one extent or another, but this is ridiculous. Ford has had 3+yrs to get this fixed. Also, i'm not saying I have any issues with Ford in regards to performance... I'd still rock a cobra or something as a "fast and fun" v8, but I doubt I will buy one again in the future as a reliable DD.

Ford has known about it since 2011. Feds did an investigation and basically said they wouldn't require them to do a recall, even though there were thousands of complaints. Most popular theory is moisture develops in the intercooler. They have revised the IC at leas 4 times in the last 3yrs. Obviously it hasn't worked. When I went in with the complaint, (out of warranty of course), they put a deflector, (a piece of plastic) in front the of IC on the lower 1/4th and "updated" the PCM.

That isn't the first issue. A couple months ago it developed this crazy electrical issue where the lights would go all haywire, (headlight/tail light) kind of like an alarm on the fritz. POS.

I think I am at the point now where I am seriously considering not buying another Ford unless there are some serious changes made. The reason being: My brother Matthew has a 2014 Ford Explorer with the 3.5 ecoboost motor and less than 10,000mi. He just made a trip back to OH. The first time he has been to OH since before the injuries he sustained in Iraq back in 2010. He had no issues on the way up. Fast forward to about 2wks later and he is on his way back down here to DFW. 200mi out from DFW he hits some serious rain, (like I had). Then he starts getting serious misfires on 3 cylinders, and the vehicle has no power, (again, same as with my 2011 f150). His injuries are as such that he can not just get out and hitch hike. He is very limited physically to what he can do. As such, reliable transportation is a necessity for him. We was eventually able to baby it home. The frustrating thing is, as I outlined in my other thread is; Ford has known about this issue with the ecoboost motors since 2011. Someone should be able to buy a brand new vehicle and not have to worry about getting stranded because of rain. It's more of a personal issue for me too because of my brother's condition. This situation would suck no matter who you are, but I can't imagine being him and in that situation. I guess this is just more of a rant than anything, but after having this happen to me, and then my brother, I am seriously considering never buying a ford again as a DD. Covered under warranty or not, these kinds of issues should not be happening in the first place.

I believe new mexico, nevada, and arizona are the only southern states to have legal medical marijuana. http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881

I haven't forgotten how it works, it's just sad that it still holds true. Though I think that the drug companies days are numbered. Eventually enough people are going to get sick and tired of eating the garbage we are given as "food" and being prescribed 8 different pills to try to counteract the effects of those "foods", and there will be a fundamental shift in what we put in our bodies as a whole.

Isn't that nuts? All these medical professionals are coming out and saying both officially and unofficially that pot is a better, safer alternative to scrips and this stuff is still considered by the government to be essentially the same as meth, heroin, cocaine, etc.

So basically, it's not a street car...

FWD...how does it put this power to the ground?

5.8 TT would be wicked.

Watch the vid and my previous statement will make sense. The girl with the seizures takes pot oil, that has no thc. No high. CBD is known to help with seizures. In this case, the oil is acting as an effective medication, without getting high. On to the 2nd vid. The girl in there had cancer. He oil has THC, since THC is kills the cancer. In that scenario, since there is THC, the kid is high. That's the catch 22. In her case, because she needs the THC, she is high all day every day due to multiple doses of very potent oil. In that case, it may be a little bothersome to me that my 10yr old is high, but I would rather have him/her high and alive/recovering, as opposed to being a deteriorating vegetable on chemo. I hope that clarifies what I meant.

My brother, an Iraq Vet, stated ambien is scary stuff. Doesn't like it. Doesn't like any sleeping pills. He prefers alternative, natural methods. When he stopped with the prescription drugs and moved all na tur al, he said he got the best nights sleep he has had in years.

Almost all of the people I know that use cannabis are intelligent, hard working individuals. Window installers, dog trainers, painters, program coders for major companies such as Discover Card and Chase, buying their first houses in their young 20's, etc. The one's that are my age smoked every single day in HS and managed A's and B's throughout their HS careers and went on to be productive members of society. The PSA's showing people who use pot as being lazy good-for-nothings is a bunch of garbage. If people are going to be lazy slobs, they are going to do it regardless of smoking a joint.

Failing to see how what I said had anything to do with what I said. Watch the vid above, those kids are high due to THC. I know the girl with the seizures was NOT high due to low THC levels. Where is the conflict?

Yeah man, that's one for the first stories that came to my mind. Seems that the CBD helps with seizures, and THC helps with cancer. It's kind of a catch 22 with the cancer part for kids because THC is the "psychoactive" chemical so you kid is going to be high, but i'd rather my kid be high and alive than dead or near dead on chemo. I'm all for it being legalized for recreational use too and regulated similar to alcohol, (especially since it's far less dangerous than alcohol), but so far, in my mind, the medical benefits are too great to be ignored.

Does anybody here have first hand experience with marijuana as a medicine/cure? Seems more and more stories are coming out about marijuana's affect on cancers, siezures in children, etc. Not just a bunch of hippies either; I am sure you have all seen CNN's chief medical correspondent and neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta essentially do a 180deg turn around on his view of pot. I have always been for the legalization of pot, (even though I had never smoked, ate, or otherwise consumed), but this weekend a nurse doing physicals on my wife and I for life insurance told me a pretty awesome story about her brother, a long haired, late 50's, harley davidson riding hippy kind of guy. Never had health insurance, smoked cigarettes and pot, etc. Early this year it was discovered he had several cancerous spots in his abdomen. It rapidly got to the point where he couldn't get out of bed in the morning because of the pain, (liver area was rock hard). He wound up in hospice, and his family was all informed he didn't have long to live. The cancer was too far advanced for conventional treatment. Well, he ended up getting cannabis oil sent to him, (obviously not legal). Took a dose and went to bed, and when he woke up the next morning, had regained mobility and said he felt great. This was a few months ago. Cancer went into remission and he is still walking around functioning perfectly fine to this day. Also, as a side note, when they did a lung examination, the doctors said his lungs looked fine, and this is a lifelong smoker of cigarettes and cannabis. Side note, looking at how cannabis affects cancer cells on the molecular level is pretty awesome. http://www.cureyourowncancer.org/how-cannabis-oil-works.html

Wife is prego with numero dos. Won't know if boy or girl until sometime in sept. She wants a girl, and I am indifferent. I would be fine with a girl or another boy...but i'm not going to say that the thought of having a girl doesn't make me somewhat anxious, whereas I don't get that feeling about it being a boy...

would rock one of these. The dodges are fugly.

I am speechless.

I see your white karate girl, and raise you a black boxer boy.
