Had an O-ring left out of a pressurized air turbo tube at the factory. Could hear a hiss on acceleration but did not know this to be a problem. Significant power reduction and I thought I had purchased a dog. After about a week a warning light came on and recommended emidiate service do to drive train 4-wheel power loss issue. A seasoned Ford Mechanic found the problem after a 3.5 hour search. Next problem part not yet available at Ford distribution centers. A temp fix was fashioned which worked until part came in. The truck was a keeper even without the part. A real workhorse on dirt high mountain roads in the Rockies.

Interesting thing to forget to put in. Glad they got you sorted out.
