I see the 6.0 owners getting like $5.....
Exactly. All large scale class action suits do typically is make a few lawyers a bunch of money.

So what are all you 6.0 owners going to do with your new found fortunes?

If I spend over $50k for a new vehicle, no one better expect me to be happy if it's a pile of dog chit.
Well sir, if your truck was suck a monstrous pile of sh!t, what on earth possessed you to keep it after the warranty expired? You had plenty of time while it was under warranty to see the number of things that could and apparently did go wrong with it, yet you decided to keep it. How on earth is that Ford's fault? Maybe I am one of the few who still takes responsibility for my own decisions, so I don't understand the logic here. So Ford made a crappy motor and you bought it thinking it would be good, like it should have been. That is on Ford, but no one made you keep it once the warranty expired. That is on you.
Pretty simple actually. I'd lose my azz on what I've spent in aftermarket parts. And other than the reliability issues, I like the rest of the truck. It's also less expensive to do things like head studs, Bulletproof FICM and oil cooler, etc than to get into another vehicle and start making payments again. That was a decision YOU had to make, based on the cost/benefit in your situation. My point is you made that decision and have to live with it, no different than someone who buys a used 6.0 because they can't afford a new truck with a warranty.
Take another look at what was fixed under warranty. The list is pretty short. No way I could use that as justification for getting rid of the truck, nor was it an accurate predictor of what was to come. Turbo, injectors, headgaskets. Those are pretty big ticket items. Like everyone says things that big shouldn't be failing that early. That is why warranties only last a certain amount of time, the manufacturer sets the length of warranty to minimize the number of large cost claims they see.
The point being, no one should have to make that kind of investment to make an engine reliable. So apparently vehicles over 100k miles should be just like they were when they rolled out of the showroom...Apparently, there are millions of other people who feel the same way. Are you really trying to say that the problems with my 6.0 are my fault because I made a decision to keep the truck? C'mon man. The problems are not your fault. But, you made the decision to keep it after the warranty when Ford would no longer foot the bills for the repairs. Are you trying to tell me that the manufacturer should warranty the engine for ever? C'mon man.
Maybe I need one of those "Don't laugh. It's paid for" bumper stickers? LOL
I also try to be optimistic. I keep thinking "that should be the end of it" after the Bulletproof FICM/oil cooler/water pump, fresh head gaskets, heads that were checked and decked, ARP studs, a DC Power alternator, Sears Diehard Platinum's, and a laundry list of other upgrades.
I see your posts and your not getting the fact that a guy goes out and buys a 40-50 thousand dollar truck and then has to make it reliable.. You see nothing wrong with that picture? You are implying that the people posting here and everywhere else that will take the money from the suit are irresponsible people.. FORD was irresponsible, don't you get that?
I have had at least 20 new Ford trucks over the years and never have I had to make one them reliable because Ford didn't..
The point is, you decided to keep the truck, for whatever reason, you are responsible for that decision. If I go to the race track and bet on a horse and it loses. Am I supposed to go after the owner of the horse to get my money back?
I am sure you can tell lots about me from my two posts in this thread. If a guy goes out and buys a 40-50 thousand dollar truck, that truck comes with a warranty where, yes it may be a little bit of a pain, but largely doesn't cost him a penny to have Ford take responsibility for their screw ups. If said person, having seen the number of times the truck has been in the Ford dealership for repairs, decides to keep it after the warranty expires, that person is in fact responsible for repairing the truck. Once the warranty is over, it is not Ford's responsibility anymore. The warranty can't last forever, don't you get that?
This suit is just an example of what is wrong with the world we live in, no one is willing to take responsibility for their own decisions, and have the attitude that when something doesn't go right, it is never my fault.
Go along with the suit if you want, that is also your decision, but I won't be. All that will happen is a few rich people get a little richer and people who have actually owned 6.0s may see a few bucks. Take your wife out to dinner or something, because we all know it won't be nearly enough to buy any parts for your truck LOL
