That's going to be a tough one to prove. Since you have a K&N intake you won't see a dime.

At least not form any intake/turbo/intercooler related failures.

Yeah I would be worried about if I bought my truck brand new and kept it stock, but neither of those are true.

if the injectors went bad multiple times then a K&N intake will have nothing to do with that, if he has had EGR failures, the K&N filter had nothing to do with that, if he had an oil leak the K&N intake had nothing to do with that. BUT if he had a turbo failure, they would have to prove that the K&N intake WAS responsible for the failure BUT most of the time it is cause by sticking vanes in the exhaust housing that will cause the turbo failure that the K&N intake has nothing to do with..... so that being said, it is worth looking into for those who have had the above problems. :c::c: |
One of the pages in my Edge instructions was dedicated to whether or not to remove it before going in for warranty work. The bottom line is that they will most likely have a bigger bank roll to prove it was your fault putting on that aftermarket equipment than you do to prove it was their faulty parts. So, that being said, with a K&N on your rig, be prepared to litigate to prove that wasn't why your turbo failed.
Now, if you put on a Dynomax exhaust and you have an injector fail, the two are not related and they would be obligated to repair your injector under warranty. Personally, I have done enough to my rig that taking part in a class action lawsuit would be an exercise in ambulance chasing. Not my style. :nope: |
this would have been great 8 years ago:argh: :se:

Your Ford owners manual clearly states they can void your warranty if you run ANY non Ford parts. Your typical magnusson moss warranty jargon doesn't apply to these trucks. If you think you have the time/money to fight Ford on it, go for it, or buy another truck. At this point I doubt anyone in this thread has a foot to stand on regarding that lawsuit. I knew what I was buying when I got it, I certainly don't blame Ford for that.

I don't think anyone in this thread cares about the lawsuit, it's just another cool subject to beat into the ground. :gunner:

There is a guy who does the billet fender/door badges. Ford got a cease and desist order preventing him from making the badges. He used the Ford font and was creating several different variations. In the end he is limited to what he can make for badges with regard to the wording and such. Ford even tried to make one of his customers take off the badges at a truck show. Needless to say the truck show guy told them to pack sand since Ford has no rights after the product has been sold. In the end you got to have big stones to go against those guys. They will settle out of court LONG before a class-action suit hits the courts. |
billetbadges? I heard about that too.
In the end, even if you had the stones to go up against them, I don't know anyone who has enough money to try... |
I personally wasn't pursuing it but just threw it out there for general info. I was a Ford guy before I bought my PSD. Had a 96 with a 460 that had 298,000 miles on it when I sold it and it never had a problem. I wasn't aware of the PSD problems but the truck has treated me decent. It's got some problems but so far besides tires and LOF I haven't had to spend more then 3 grand on it and some of that was stuff that I could had done myself but either didn't have the time or the space to do.
