Truck Won't Start
I went out to my truck this morning to crank it and it tried to star but wouldn't
Ford roadside assitance is on the way.
it's acting like a dead battery, I hope that's all it is.

They just towed it away.
The guy who came out with the towtruck said he didn't have any jumper cables.
He also told me that the batteries in the 99s have had some problems
Damn, that's 2 repairs and I've only had the truck 6months
Needless to say, I'm pretty down on Ford right now.

STILL haven't loked at it
Come on 2 days for a jump start that should have been done when the driver came out?
I'll bet they replace the battery even if the original wasn't bad just so when they submit the claim to Ford they won't look like a bunch of dumbazzes.
I'll bet it will be at least tommorow before they find the time to jump start it.
3 days with no truck,
If I would have known they were going to keep it for 3 days i would have drove to the parts store a mile down the street bought some jumper cables, and taken care of it myself.
And I still have to find a way to go get it when they finally get it fixed.
Just wait till Ford sends my thier little survey.

Yep I guessed it,
Bad battery.
Will pick it up tommorow.
He did however apoligize for taking so long so I might give them a little slack on the survey.
He said it took so long because they are short handed.
But it makes me wonder about the reliabilty of late model Fords that they are 2 days behind schedule.
BTW it took 2 days last time too.

True, Ben Satcher is one of the better dealers in Columbia. Bob Bennett isnt bad either, there service dept was pretty good on the whole. That was the dealer I bought my truck from.
Pulliam (spelling) was another good one in downtown Columbia. You have to set up an appointment in advance though because they get busy.
