+1...Voided my warranty at 900 miles
haha, warranty? I didn't even know Ford offered one...
Seriously, have you seen the Dearborn assembly plant in action? Go tour it and then tell me what you see. Number one, the machines and people, are amazing. The number of combinations that you can get are mind-blowing. Each platform the truck moves on is digitally numbered and along with that number each station, from seatbelts, to seat sliding glass/nonsliding, is dictated by the build computer. If one wrong seat, out of almost 1 million vehicles times 250,000 combinations of Fseries is a Travesty, we need to all move to "Perfectland". Oh and if you locate this place please be sure to share it's location with the rest of us 6G members. I'm sure when and if my 18 5.0 has either systemic or an isolated problem, I will get it addressed. Had my dual tank 1990 F150's fuel transfer assembly replaced under recall and it was 2003. I also had my Prius drive battery replaced, $4,300 7 years into ownership for no cost as Toyota noted assembly irregularities in some. So defects happen, and until I find "Perfectland" I'll expect them from anything I buy.
I spoke with a couple of tech's at my dealer when I ordered my 19, I also read it on here somewhere but I don't remember the post.
The point was imperfections, what to you and me seems obvious, ie; the Raptor seat error, isn't always that clear when it's covered in protective plastic from final seat assembly until it's at the dealer. (Imagine these two seats covered in plastic, and you can appreciate more how it's possible). It shouldn't have happened, but to paint everybody that came in touch with that truck as basic idiots isn't fair either. One seats a Raptor, one Leather Lariat.
Dude I just about had enough of you, what mods are done to your car ?
Who are you talking about
Ah yes, the infamous 6.0. I had an '05 F-250 4x4 with the "Six Point Oh Nooo!". That engine was tuned for more HP by Ford beyond the Navistar engine design. Then guys (like me) were adding tuners for more power and blowing head gaskets, oil coolers, etc. I had the head bolts replaced with ARP studs, and the turbo and oil cooler replaced under warranty. $100 tip to the Tech for installing the studs. So far, this doesn't seem to reach the same level of pain that the 6.0 debacle caused. Funny thing is that once the heads were studded, the turbo replaced, and the oil cooler replaced, my '05 ran just fine for 80,000 more miles. I like the 6.7 engine much better though, far more torque and no worries about reliability after 76,000 miles.
