WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND WE HAVE PUT 3 OR 4 PRESSURE PLATES, CLUTCHES AND THROW OUT BEARINGS IN IT. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT TO THE TUNE OF $2200.00 IN OCTOBER, 1997. WE HARDLY DRIVE THIS TRUCK. IT WAS BOUGHT FOR A FARM TRUCK, MOSTLY TO HAUL OUR CATTLE TRAILER. WE HAUL CATTLE INFREQUENTLY (MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR) AND WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERTRAIN SINCE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. LAST FRIDAY (9/17/99) WE HAD TO PUT ANOTHER CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROW OUT BEARING IN IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (B F EVANS) WHO REPAIRED THE TRUCK IN OCTOBER, 1997 AND HE TOLD ME TOUGH LUCK - YOU WENT PAST THE 12 MONTH DEADLINE. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY RECORDS ON OTHER PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS , POWER TRAINS ON THESE TRUCKS. WE JUST HOPE IT WILL HOLD TOGETHER UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD TO TRADE IT OFF. WE HAVE ALSO HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK BUT THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS IT IS BREAKING US UP TO KEEP CLUTCHES IN IT. WE DO NOT USE THE TRUCK EVERYDAY - IT USUALLY SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM - THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY HELP OTHER THAN TAKING OUR $2200.00 AND THEN TELLING US "TOUGH LUCK" WHEN THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT.
