Well Friday was an interesting day. We talked to them some more about the F650 but they aren't going to give us enough for our "lemon", I mean our truck so we are going to keep our old truck and keep our fingers crossed! We don't think we will actually qualify for the "lemon law".
They finally finished the truck about 3:30, we paid our portion that Ford didn't pay, packed up and got out of there around 4:30 (right at peak traffic time in Los Angeles). We pulled out of the lot and a huge plume of black smoke came out. We drove down to the freeway and went around the 2 mile block and drove back. Unfortunately the mechanic had forgotten to clear 3 codes from the engine computer so the engine was trying to compensate for the problem, thus black smoke???? Once he cleared the codes we had no further problems - whew!
So we are settled back in San Diego at Pio Pico, we have slow and intermittent internet but no cell phone service for some reason! Ted may try to adjust the antenna to see if we can get a stronger signal. We are going to be here until September 1st.
Having the truck working again..."Ain't Life Grand!"
