Just remember this:
"Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal
Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something
breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the
dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you
have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question."
That is right from the Edge product manual. You should certainly lay that "card" on the table in your dealings with the dealership.
Just my two cents. Wanted to let you know you still have options. Good luck.

Dont you have an extended warranty? I dont care what happened if you have a warranty that motor should get replaced/fixed. Why pay to have a warranty then having the dealer not fix anything when something goes wrong. Thats how my dealer is starting to do to me, I have had it in 3 times in the past few months and they fixed my rear axle seals then I took it in for the knocking and ticking and they said its normal, yet its gotten louder since I bought it. Then i take it in for the 4x4 vacuum leak and had to take them for a ride just to prove that it was what I said it was. Sorry about the rant but I hope your truck gets fixed.

Call Ford Customer Assistance.
Maybe i miss understood him. The tech showed it to me. Anyways, i'll talk to the dealer in a day or two once they get the response back from inspector
