Bad Day

We took a trip to troyer performance 3-14-07, to get the stage 1 custom tune kit installed and dyno done on the truck. We had mishap in summersville, stopped at McDonalds to eat breakfast and noticed tire going flat. We had to go to citgo service station behind walmart. Wait until they open up. The valve stem leaking. It rained all the way down which didn't help time. Quit raining when we got there. Found out theres something wrong with the truck,NO POWER. To embarass to say what HP. I have to make appointment with the local ford dealer. I'm not done yet with my mishaps. Then on the way home, We go to Mcdonalds(different Mcdonalds) which they were slow as hell, after waiting inside 10 minutes we left with no food, so we went to subway, they had wheat bread ONLY. so we left with no food again. Went back to McDonalds went through the drive through, shorted us 2 dollars and fries, and partially filled 2nd set fries. Started to rain AGAIN all the way home 6 hrs in the rain. Not done yet,finally get home waked up this morning can't find my money which I had yetersday, Our dog decided to repell last night, got in my pants pockets and ate $40.00 (2) $20.00 bills

No Power

thats put it this way-93 octane performance mode- lower HP than a stock F150 would put out. I have lowest Horsepower truck out there. Its either CMCV(what some used to call IMRC) does not ever open up fully or it the cam phaser- theres a slight tapping at idle in drive or reverse because thats when the idle at its lowest. You live not far from me- wheres a GOOD ford dealer can solve this problem. truck still under warranty. I noticed lack of power for a while now, I had to get the oil change at local ford dealership and I told them the truck has no power. They said theres nothing wrong with it. How i noticed it mostly when I pull my camper. it struggles but the camper weighs about 7000 lb but still on the highway it STRUGGLED big time. I couldn't get up over 60 mph down hill.

openclass--I'm taking back to my local ford dealer first because two months I had the truck animal built a nest inside my intake-between the engine block and my intake. troyer perf thinks they missed wire going to my CMCV, which a animal might of chewed. THat wasn't a warranty deal. It was out of pocket expense. 500.00 dollars later. It was nature. not a ford problem. I guess it controls airflow to the engine.
