Ford along with GM and Dodge are all having financial problems. I would think at this time they will go out of their way to find ANY modifications to our trucks so that they can get out of the warrentees. It might be prudent to keep our trucks stock until after the warrentee's are up. Just about anything on our trucks costs an arm and leg to replace. Just my two cents....

I think I'll probably stay stock as well. Except for maybe an exhaust system. Either way, Stephen's right- runnin a truck too hard with tear something up. How's the new tranny Bama?

Don't worry about the new one, she’ll loosen up…

My $.00002 cents and Personal opinion?
I don't think they are trying any harder....
they've always tried to make sure it wasn't what they considered abuse... and do you blame them ?
i mean, if you don't run an air cleaner for 20K miles thru the desert,
should Ferd be responsible for the turbo failure ?
(and have heard reports of turbo repairs being denied if k&n filters are installed- reported to not filter well enough )
bottom line - to each his own.... if you wanna play, be prepared to pay
but personally, I guess I'm too spoiled by the "responsiveness" of the 6-oh to a tuner and would rather not lug around stock

your post is not real clear to me who the "they" is, and really what your talkin about, as related to this thread.
please explain further and in more detail if you dont mind. thanks.
