I bought a 99 F250 SD with the 5.4 4x4. She has 154k miles and I snagged her for 3k from a family freinds dealership. I paid 500 dollars for a Auto Life Rx extended warranty, that covers many internal engine parts plus the tranny and a few other things. First has anyone herd of this warranty, and how well does it work. I read on the website that the mixture you add in takes the temperatures in the engine like a heatsink making the engines componets last longer. sounds good to me haha
Anyone have any clue to what could be wrong?
When I get back on my feet I will be getting a Ford again, hopefully after I become a DNR officer I can splurge and get a 6.2 Raptor!!!

A couple of months back I bought a 2 door Cobalt 2LT for my commute (140 miles each day).
I DID keep my 04 FX4 - There is no getting rid of it unless its for a new FX4

Well, let me start with saying. I have better things to do with my time than get on this site everyday. Now If any of you can remember, I am the one who had a seizure going 60 mph and wrecked my truck into a tree, leading to brain surgery and replacing my top two spinal disks with titanium. ALSO leading to me being declined to join the Coast Guard and serve you wonderful people. SO keep talking! Next, The insurance company only payed 6k for me and my personal disaster, just paying off my pride and joy. I do not know if anyone here is familiar with brain surgery, but it costs 250k not including the helicopter ride and the month in Johns Hopkins. That brings me back to my original point, the lovely government and medical assistance (what 20 year old has health insurance?) is now garnishing my wages. My sisters father owns a SMALL car dealership. He helped me out by getting me financed and no down payment for this car everyone on this website has a problem with. My four choices were a 94 neon that was neon green, a 96 toyota tercel, or a plymouth breeze. I think I made the best decision with my options. Go ahead A HOLES put your foot in your mouth now, better yet put them both in there.

I know people in their 30's without health insurance. Not defending the guy for not having it and understand how it can be a pain to afford if you're already having tough times, but can say I hope a break comes your way. Sounds like you learned a few things over the past year or so and will have to pay on it for a long time.
The last thing you need is a big truck payment with a bigger fuel bill. Get out of debt, dont listen to the naysayers and if the clunker last long enough.. buy a good used Ford truck with cash you saved instead of letting these lowlife dealers rip you off on interest.
The Sebring will be a reminder of where you dont want to be in the next few years. Use it for what it is.. a mode of tranportation. Good Luck.

I can completely relate to the no insurance thing - a few years back, I shattered my collarbone riding dirtbikes and had to pay for it all out of pocket (ER bill, x rays, pain meds, and about 6 visits to the orthepedic center). While that doesn't even compare to brain surgery I know how you feel.
