Spoke too the adjuster today, they are actually going to total it out.
I am not sure what to think. The truck only has 28k miles on it.
Buy it back and delete the other crap out. You bought it that way, right?
We just got a new truck for my wife. All DEF systems suck.
A consideration was, for Ford, that a friend of mine had around $20k of warranty work on it when the dealer finally told him he could not idle the truck for extended periods or the warranty would be void. He's oilfield, the truck is his office, it runs 24/7 if it needs to. His dad was a Ford Motor Credit guy for 28 years. He now drives a Dodge. The Dodge people gave it to him in writing that he could idle it until he's ready to buy a new truck that they did not care and the warranty would be good.
So..we wound up with a 1/2 ton Dodge if we need more we've a 2002 Excursion and 2006 F250 diesel without all the DEF crap on it. And...the Dodge are really nice vehicles about $20k less than the Fords (which we have bought since the 80's).
But...back to your issue. Delete is the solution if you can get your old truck.
