    take it back and have them check the EGR like everyone said. It sucks if that was it the whole time. $100 fix vs. $2k+

    I would almost make them put your old trans back in.

    If the truck acts as if it gets thrown into neutral when he romps on it, it's not an EGR valve.

    Fig, getting bad "new" parts is not out of the question but with the computer controls these things have on them anymore.. it could be that too. Have your buddy reflash the PCM and see if it does anything.

    Somebody besides me would be licking their wounds over that one... especially a Ford dealer that's throwing parts at a problem without a real diagnosis.
