Yea, I saw that earlier aswell, and was a little worried how they got 525hp and not build up the block. Not to mention he says that all the work done to it does not affect the warrenty one bit.... BULL ******ing *****. Ford will void your warranty for placing a bumper sticker in the wrong place. jk

Are you kidding me??? Not only was your warranty voided long ago but if you dumped $50K in that truck for the mods that you have you got jobbed! I've done the same thing to my L, with the exception of the wheels, and it cost me less than $10K (including the 65 dyno pulls that I did to tune it). Somebody bent you over and I'm assuming some kind of lube wasn't included in that 50 large! Not only that but if you ever take that truck into the dealer for any kind of powertrain work that warranty is going to voided so quickly that your head will spin. Nice way to try to sucker some poor unsuspecting bastard...

I SPENT APPROX. 16K FOR THE ADVANCEMENTS. PLUS 34K FOR THE TRUCK. (50K)
I'M A GENERAL MANAGER FOR THE LARGEST FORD DEALER IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS TRUCK IS STILL VERY MUCH UNDER WARRANTY. IF THERE IS DAMAGE THAT IS RELATED TO 1 OF THESE SPECIFIC POWER IMPROVEMENTS, THEN OBVIOUSLY IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED. HOWEVER EVERY OTHER ITEM IS. ADDITIONALY, IF A BASTARD DOES BUY THIS TRUCK, I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE POOR!
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST!

Hmmm...that's a far cry from your previous statement my good man. So we can assume that should anything happen to the motor/tranmission than your powertrain warranty is just about useless. And if you are indeed a General Manager for a Ford dealer and you still paid $34K for your truck (which is a far cry from A-plan pricing plus taxes, etc.) than you've confirmed my suspicions. Lastly, since it is still just a truck it doesn't really take a rich man to buy one of these things...unless you've got a ridiculous reserve set in a vain attempt to recoup your investment.
Good luck chump!
This guy, who allegedly works at a Ford Dealership, not only seems to have overpaid for his truck but is now back-pedaling on his original 'warranty' claim... And he can't seem to figure out where his 'Caps Lock' key is either.
For his inane level of stupidity I humbly present him with the following:
I have no doubt he'll continue to do the award proud!
