Excessive black smoke and lack of power on acceleration. Fuel economy is way down. I took the pickup to sierra Ford in bishop CA. They kept the pickup for two days and did not have the parts to fix the pickup, in fact they had to take parts off a different pickup and put them on mine for me to get home to fresno CA. I took the pickup to freedom Ford to be fixed when I got home . Both dealers said the turbo was bad.

Dates are not correct as I do not have information in front. Major brake issues, transmission shifting issues and turbo is now leaking oil again. Lots of intermittent issues that no one can duplicate. Unsure what to do.
