OK
You all probably remember me having a Dmax in 05 and had overheating issues, glow plug problems, and injectors going out. All my stuff got fixed under warranty along with the bed repainted and the wiring issues. I sold it after 9 months of proud ownership.
Anyway my neighbor has a 07 classic 3500 SRW 4x4 that has been trouble also. I warned him about buying one but he did not listen. His has had to have some valve on the engine replace twice after going into limp mode. He has also had wiring problems, a passengers seat that has been worked on 2 times and is still not right, a bad U joint, a leaking transfer case, and a leaking rear axle seal. All this with only 45,000 miles. All this has been fixed under warranty with the exception of the seat that is still not right.
Anyway last month it would not warm up. He took it in and it was a bad thermostat. They told him it was not under warranty and got stuck with a big repair bill for a simple issue. Not a month later it was lacking power, blowing smoke, and idling rough. He took it in again with a service engine light on and they said it has 2 bad injectors. They are not covered under warranty and wanted $1400 and change to fix it. He took it home and parked it. Looking on the net you can get 60 HP gain aftermarket injectors, all 8, for $1600. He plans on fixing it and selling it in the spring for the New Ford. Again this truck only has 45,xxx miles on it.
So just what is covered?
