Heck I don't mess with thw warantee on my F-150, I surely would not mess with the warantee on an expensive diesel, however, your truck+your call=your $$$!...........

 

Nice ride Bro
What kind of mods do you plan to do??

when i bought my new fx 4 two weeks ago i really considered a super duty v-10 because i had one in the past, my f150 will do just fine though..very nice purchase indeed.

 

sweet truck, that thing will look sick on 8 inches and 37s

 

Well then do what you want, doesn't bother me at all

I have plenty of friends that have taken theres in for warranty work and have never had any problems. (Most of which, run some sort of tuner)

 

I got my truck with 1700 miles (the owner of the dealership was driving it) and it was around 14MPG then. I have 3.73 gears BTW.

I would recommend either a smaller lift or bigger tires...37s will clear with a 4in so 8in would be way too much IMO. I am going with 37s with 22s and a 4in lift.

You have plenty of friends with 2008 Super Duties? If not then thats totally irrelevant. Up until now you could just return them to stock and unplug the battery and you couldnt tell it had been tuned for the most part...certainly couldnt prove it had. The 08s are different. Besides they may not call you out on a small job but IF you needed some major work and a Ford factory guy has to come look at it then they look for any and everything they can to refuse to honor the warranty. Like I said its a gamble...to some its worth it to some its not.

 

As for friends with 08's, yes.....plenty.

What about the law to where they have to prove that the tuner and or performance modification is what actually caused the problem? I don't see how Ford could have found a loophole for this. Like I said "I" believe it's a scare tactic.

Also to clear things up, I'm not trying to say your wrong but I'm not saying that your right either, just simply relaying information that I myself have seen personally, I believe that having a transmission replaced under warranty is considered pretty major.

So I guess well just have to agree to disagree.

 

As of right now my truck is hovering around 14.5 mpg. It goes up to about 16 on the freeway. I love this truck more and more...until my payment comes around. haha.

 

I was actually refering to the 9's and 10's that Procomp was talking about. I've read around and people that drive it easy get 14, 16 is the highest I've seen. I guess they just restrict these new engines for emissions it is hard to squeeze those mpgs out. My dad just bought an 01 or 02 f250 7.3. The first week he had it I drove it. Extended cab, long bed, 2wd. I had it floored at every take off and I was driving pretty fast. He did his math and he got 18.
