WHAT???!!!

Let me get this right...In their infinite wisdom the engineers at Found On Road Dead decided it would be a great "security" feature to make the freakin' truck die even though the OWNER of the truck, WITH the key that came with the truck, used same key to start the truck??? :confused:

Brilliant! :rolleyes:

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram. If you use the key to open the truck instead of the electronic control, as soon as you put the key in the ignition and start the engine, the security system goes off. You have to quick lock and unlock the truck with the control to shut the damn thing off.

Me too, I'm not sure too many would describe me as a girly man. I've questioned my sanity buying a Hemi when gas is $4, but I can buy a lot of gas for the $13k they knocked off the sticker price. And the lifetime drivetrain warranty isn't too shabby either.;-)

Shayne, do you know what happened in the truck to cause your problem? I ask because I have a Ford truck. My big disaster was when a oil seal around one of the injectors leaked and the truck engine shut off, with no warning, when I was cruising down the interstate. The injectors are hydraulic-electric activated and without oil pressure (i.e. if the seal is leaking) none of the injectors will open. Fortunately, this is such a behemoth (2005, dually, dual cab, King Ranch) that I was able to coast back across two lanes of traffic and down an off ramp. I wonder if your situation is one I have to look forward too, also.

Was looking at these - found an issue on google.

Ford Stops Sales of Big Super Duty, Recalls 2008 Trucks
Tailpipe Fires Reported in Early Models

By Joe Benton
ConsumerAffairs.com

Ford Motor Co. has ordered dealers to stop selling the new Super Duty pickup with the 6.4-liter diesel engine and is recalling more than 37,000 of the 2008 F-Series trucks after reported tailpipe fires in the diesel version of the pickups.

Ford has received three reports of flames shooting out of tailpipes after either fuel or oil leaked into an area of the exhaust system where diesel particulates are burned off to meet emissions requirements, according to a Ford spokesman.

In Texas, one Super Duty diesel's hot tailpipe set grass fire when the driver pulled off the road, according to Ford. The fire was quickly put out and no one was hurt.

Ford dealers have an inventory on hand of roughly 29,000 Super Duty trucks with the 6.4-liter diesel engine. Sales of the hot selling truck will not resume until the engine control software can be updated.

The software upgrade resets the Super Duty powertrain control module on the Ford trucks to recognize improper levels of heat in the exhaust system. If heat is detected the system will power down the truck so the driver can pull to the side of the road and allow the truck to cool off.

Ford estimates the software can be modified during ten minute procedure. Super Duty trucks that have not been shipped from their assembly plant in Louisville, Kentucky will receive the engine control software update at the plant.

Customers with the first 8,400 diesel Super Duty trucks already on the roads will be notified that they should bring their vehicles into dealerships for the software update.

no clue if that helps.

I wonder what you would do when the remote dies, my remote for my wife's saturn is dead. If the remote is the only way to solve the problem that's sad.

Not to laugh at your misfortune but I REALLY NEEDED this laugh this am. I am just curious what kind of tunes were being played doing all of this. A broken Ford, a bottle of Crown, a tow truck driver, and good friends......it HAD to be country!!!


Laughing!
