My block had the hole in it due to failure of the rod because of defective materials.

Wait a minute...

Inelligible vehicles include....commuter vehicles?

Does that mean if I drive the thing to work every day, the warranty doesn't apply? Or am I missing something?

well we will see what happens when ambulance companies buy this warranty.

I believe that classifies as "emergency"... however, I thought in the past that NO vehicles being used commercially were allowed ESP...

Hail, Hail, Hail, the gangs all here. Since the only 3 techs I actually trust for real Dealership opinions, are all in one thread at the same time. Will any 6.4 owners need this warranty? PM me if you have not received your bullet proof vests from Aaron yet in case it gets ugly.

in my area ryan, i have one had 1 6.4 break (egr valve), and a few come in for mileage and we are a pretty big dealer. i dont think it is needed, i believe ford is trying to appease the common man.

Anything made by a human can break. From what we are seeing, the 6.4 is much more reliable than the 6.0. Now, when things break, they can be pricey. My advice would be, if you are going to buy, put the plan with your payments, the difference would hardly be noticeable. Its kind of like car insurance, you might never use it, but its nice to have it there.

the puller was a booger bear but the nut on the under side was the worse.

Booger Bear,......is this technical lingo?

 

[bowtiehatr]

well for one who tries no to use alot of one sylable words, i make my own.

 

[blacksnapon]

Booger Bear is a new classification of labor op. exclusive to the 6.4.

 

[mrfixit]

Will that be in the '08 Motor Manual?

 

[blacksnapon]

I think its in the Canadian version! Oh Rusty................
