PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM R40 DIESEL. BUYER BEWARE! DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!
If I could give less than one star I would. I purchased a 2003 Ford F250 King Ranch diesel from them for $15k in September, 2016. Rachel promised it would be done in a couple weeks. Was finally ready the end of November. Long story short, Rachel promised $9k of engine work and "be a brand new motor". She said that R40 was going to rebuild the engine which may or may not include the short block. Drove the truck home from Destin to Tampa only to find an oil leak. They said they fixed the leak in February, 2017 but drove it to the hotel and noticed it was still leaking. Since then the truck has been at the Ford service department longer than I have owned it and they verified that the engine has not been rebuilt. In fact, there was even RTV used on the engine. Furthermore, I have had to fix the front end, ICP, glow plug, dip stick tube, valve cover gaskets, high pressure pump gasket, injector, map sensor, transmission rear cover gasket, oil sender, rear main seal, oil cooler cover, ac compressor, new tires and having issues with the 4-wheel drive. Anyone with a "new rebuilt engine" would not have these problems. Rachel said that it would be a solid truck when they got finished with it. The best I can tell is they put in a new aftermarket turbo, replaced a seized piston, bored out one cylinder and added a sleeve and put it back together. Definitely not $9k of engine work. I have lost thousands of dollars so far to their negligence and lies. Good thing I kept all of the texts and documentation and have 3 other witnesses that were the day she said they were going to rebuild the engine. As it sits now, Rachel said that there is no warranty and they won't cover any of my expenses from Ford. You know the saying, "I got screwed at the used car lot". Definitely a learning experience. read more
