i had a dent in my skid plate an had a dealership tell me it caused my steering column to go bad when the only thing behind the skid plate is the frame(i could have hit a prius an it could have had a direct impact on a prius an it wouldnt have been possible for the plate to hurt the steering column unless it whent through the frame....this wasnt the case obsly).........dont underestimate the shenanigans they will try an pull man always been aggressive an on your toes.

Yeah.. stock truck and no signs of abuse "should" make this a definite warranty repair with no questions asked the way I see it.

I was just shedding light on his comment about not wanting to **** them off. I would've made the dealer hate my guts if I were in his shoes and knew I didn't do jack to blow my motor.

Definitely! I wonder if that happened if I could just run home and swap out my intake for stock, ha!

Reading more and more of this thread makes me want to go back to stock. I don't need my shit exploding on me! :( One in a million thing, though -- we hope! The way some of you nut-jobs drive your trucks, this definitely sounds like a fluke.

Well the problem is that my buddy isn't being aggressive with it. This is going on three weeks and they haven't even offered him a loaner or rent a car. He's telling me that he doesn't want to **** them off and they deny his warranty. I was trying to explain it doesn't work like that......but in the end its his truck and he can do what he wants, but I know I'd be raising hell and I hate to see them walk all over him

If they are paying for a loaner it will get done faster.

I haven't seen a single CAI without the lower section of the air box for these trucks so if the truck took on water they would be water in the air box CAI or complete stock air box. The amount of water might be different but it would still be there. I would be more concern with why number 7 failed nothing else has damage. Also rental is part of Fords new car warranty all he has to do is ask for it. Most service writers won't offer it.

kglesq (brother who owns a identical Raptor to mine) called Ford customer service when his defective PCM failed at about 3000 miles. They gave him their top-of-the line extended warranty and upgraded his ****** econobox loaner to a Dodge pickup.

If he didn't do anything wrong to the truck, he shouldn't have a damn thing to worry about.

That said, Ford's policy on warranty loaner vehicles severely needs to change. When I spend $50k on something, I want a temporary replacement when it fails.

Since when? Had always understood the opposite, would love for that to be the case!

Hmmm I don't know what do tell you but other then my frame(not warranty) every time my truck went into the shop I got a loaner(usually from Enterprise) and it was covered under my warranty.
