I just got home a short while ago.
Between the tow, car rental, and the dealers diagnostic fee I'm out $300 and the dealer is to backed up to look at it until Friday.
I was heading for home from a day out in the country with the cruise on at 70 when I hear a muffled poof noise from the engine compartment and the truck just shut down. All the idiot lights lit up and I coasted to a stop. Truck would turn over fine but would not start. Couldn't see anything blown up under the hood and have no idea what happened. All the electrical seemed to be working fine. I was somewhat in the middle of nowhere but got lucky that a tow truck happened along and low and behold there happened to be a Ford dealership about 3 exits down. The bad news came when the service manager told me he was backed up and short staffed and wouldn't be able to get to it until Friday.
Rented a car that I can barely get in and out of and now have to wait to find out whats going on with my truck. Something tells me this is going to get a lot more expensive.
