[QUOTE="mikehoncho88, post: 734150, member: 14305"] Welp. It's not going well right now. Need some help here guys. Went to El Cajon Ford. They didn't really want to look at the truck (long story). So I decided to go to their competitor in La Mesa, CA, Drew Ford. Brought it in to them today. Took the tech on a ride, and he definitely heard the noise. grinding from under the truck, during downshifts. He thought it sounded like the "transmission or transfer case" Left it with them for further diagnosis. OK I'm feeling good at this point, like progress is being made. Then I get a voicemail from the service manager, that blew my mind, defied all logic, and destroyed all hope of getting this problem taken care of in a reasonable, professional, manner. "The tech took another ride in your truck, and determined the noise is coming from your muffler. That is aftermarket and not covered under warranty." Just to keep the facts in play, I have a Magnaflow muffler that was installed by a professional exhaust shop. Everything else is stock. I never in my life heard of service being denied because of a muffler. Also, to keep the facts in play, the noise is coming from the front/midsection of the truck, not the back. I just don't see any possible way a muffler could cause a rattle like that, and even if it did, wouldn't it be more constant, not just when downshifting? My head is spinning, all my worst fears and horror stories I have heard about Ford are coming true. Any advice here guys? Any help? Does anyone have a stock catback I can borrow (or buy) to prove these guys wrong (or right, but I doubt it.) once and for all? #needhelp #nomods #MossMagnuson #Lawyerup #fightingitalltheway :flipthebird: Ford [/QUOTE]
