[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1607239, member: 21926"] Agreed. [USER=35543]@FordTechOne[/USER] and I are frequently on the opposite side of warranty / lemon law discussions, but, I have 100% respect for whatever argument he brings because of his expertise in the field and his ability to articulate to us lay people how the mod or mods can and will impact collateral components. I have to agree with [USER=35543]@FordTechOne[/USER] here, though not that he ‘beat the living hell out of it’, because any Raptor can take a licking that would leave some other vehicles shedding suspension components. But, I can see how he’s possibly put on a bunch of things that taxed the suspension components at an increased rate, worn out some components and then just got frustrated and started blaming everyone else. at about 7 minutes in he’s complaining about jerking ( queue [USER=25546]@Oldfart[/USER] to bring some class to this thread ). so... I’ve had this kind of thing that the guys at RA warn you about, specifically, don’t put your thumbs in the wheel... with pretty much every vehicle I’ve taken off road. Maybe he didn’t fully articulate what’s going on here but ... I didn’t see any death shake. I’ve found a few stealerships willing to do work with aftermarket doodads, [U]at cost[/U] of course. Some things they won’t touch, and I completely understand that. But yeah, they don’t want to be on the hook for seen mods and the inevitable unseen mods. Yeah, you can compromise the factory warranty but there are some places that will work with modified vehicles- but again, it’s pay to play. ~12 minutes in he claims that his lemon law lawyer says he has a case. He shouldn’t have a problem naming the law firm then. I don’t believe this part of the video. yeah, he’s got safety issues... but he caused them. right. To be fair, most consumers are in the dark about what to do when a vehicle becomes a problem and most stealership service departments are not much help for vehicles with repeat / related problems. I’ve been successful in a lemon law suit and gotten about 5k worth of engine work out of an allstate extended ‘warranty’. Neither were easy, fun or experiences I want to repeat, but, the experience has taught me to document, document, document and if there’s a weird concern or issue, I tell the stealership about to “make a paper trail” just incase. I can’t see how this guy could get a lawyer to look at his situation, honestly, and say ‘sure, let’s sue Ford!’. Maybe he wasn’t as forthcoming with info but his lawyer would probably want to know about his exploits returning the truck to stock like condition, presumably to try to get Ford to cover his rather extensively modified truck as if it were not modified. That’s warranty fraud as has been previously pointed out and could cause some problems for them in court. So my takeaway is this guy has a jerking problem alright. [/QUOTE]
