my extended warranty dude is claiming that my f250 blew an engine because i am running 265 70 17 instead of the 245 75 17 suggested tire size. please help w/any suggestions

 

He's full of crap. Just goes to prove that 3rd party extended warranty companies will do anything they can to deny coverage. If this is a FORD extended service plan, you have a good chance for resolution.

 

thats pretty close to factory size tire......

 

31.6" vs. 31.5". WOW!


This is from a 2012 brochure for an XL:

 

Can they prove it? That's the deal with that Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is all about. You will need to go thru your warranty coverage and find all the 'fine print' to see if what they are claiming is what you agreed to..

Sucks for sure, as like was said, that's not any significant change in tire size and if anything, it would be more "transmission failure" related than the engine...

Sounds like you got taken on your aftermarket "extended warranty" company...

Good luck!

Don't let them get away with it. Force them to honor the warranty.

 

I've never had a problem with Ford ESP warranties. Period.

The last big warranty job only set me back my $50 deductible. Ford even included fluids and a few "consumable" parts, that technically I should've had to pay for.

When I had my 2003 Ford Escape, the transmission blew up 4 times (CD4E, stator kept going). All covered under warranty. No hassles -- they even hooked me up with a rental car too.

If you have an aftermarket warranty -- good luck.

 

Attorney if they give you ANY caca!
