I just meet a guy that has a 05 350 6.0 with @79000 miles. It is leaking oil from the turbo and the rear main seal. The dealer told him that there is $100 deductible.He was pissed. He and I thought it was 100% covered. He said he's going to get rid of it and never buy another ford. Has anyone heard of the deductible? My 6.0 has to go for a rear main seal and I sure don't want to pay them anything to fix something under warranty. Why do these thing have so many problems?

Ford warranty is...

3/36000 bumper to bumper with no deductable

5/100,000 engine warranty with a $100 deductable

5/50,000 or 5/70,000 warranty on certain emmissions stuff depending on the state you live in

Seat belts carry a longer warranty...but i dont remember what it is (i wanna say 6/80,000, but only for defects not if it was damaged)

Thanks Marc, thought it was something like that!:thumb:

i don't blame him for not wanting another Ford. i work with someone who had one of the 6.0's, he got his $$ back per the Lemon Law. he doesn't plan to buy another NEW Ford.
Eh, there's goin to be bad ones, EVERY manafacturer has 'em, wifey had a bad Chrysler, they stood by it and replaced with better car for same payment. And about 4 trucks ago, I had a lemon Ford, yes a Ford...and I was taken care of by my local dealer, and I had a new truck and am on my 3rd since by my choice, I just keep buying new ones. Just my :twocents:

it tells you right in the "diesel suppliment" of your owners manual and was in the paperwork you would have signed if you purchased the truck brand new:dunno:
Ah ha! I knew I read it somewhere, would of remembered eventually! :lol2:

Dedcuc

It is in black and white in the warrenty info. It us 3/36 on the deductable. Thats the way it has been. I wont even get into the topic of someone getting pissed over that. All I can say is read your info before you sign.

It is in black and white in the warrenty info. I believe that it is after 12/12 though on the deductable. Thats the way it has been. I wont even get into the topic of someone getting pissed over that. All I can say is read your info before you sign.
its after the 3/36:wink[3]:

Anything over 36,000 miles is outside the bumper to bumper warranty and will then be covered by the 100K engine warranty which has a $100 deductible. That's a small price to pay if you need $2500 worth of work done. Even worse what if Ford replaced your engine at a cost of $12,000+ and you only pay $100? I wouldn't complain about that. As far as never hearing of the deductible, read your owner's manual, it and many other things are printed in there.

The 5/100k is more of a service contract that you don't have to pay for then? I know that most contracts can run anywhere from $800-$1800. Doesn't sound too bad to me. Sounds to me like y'all need to start reading the paperwork before you sign it. Not trying to be an a$$, I don't sign anything unless I read it first.

That was made very clear when I bought my truck used at my Ford dealer about 6 months ago. Almost all warranties after 36,000 have that deductable. $100 is alot better than the full repair. I also like my 6.0

From what i under stand is for the first 36/36 there in no deductible. From 36001 to 100,000 its a 100. I think the biggest reason for the deductible is that it promotes people to keep up with the maitnence on the motor. Most people take care of there trucks its just a few that need the incentive. It also keeps people from over using it for the little things like the turbo makes a whistling noise and the motor is loud and it has black smoke coming out of the tail pipe.

wow 17 replies before i finished typing. I didnt think i was that slow at typing. :(

Man I honestly hate it when people go on and on about the 6.0. Its a great engine. And as far as the deductible goes $100 isnt all that bad. When I had some warranty work done to my truck and it was about $1100, my face light up when he said it was only $100. if you wanna be a baller and drive a big truck with a diesel then sometimes you gotta pay. I mean it could be alot worse. The dealer by me arent cool with mods on the truck. Then I hear about other dealerships that are totally cool with it. I dont know I guess im crazy for thinking 100 isnt a big deal.

NO you aren't evan. I can't believe his friend is that "mad". I mean...cry me a river. it's only 100 bucks. and they fix all that crap.

In 1977, 1980,1985,1988,1995,2001,2006,and in 2007 I have either personally purchased or been issued a FORD company vehicle. With the exception of taking home one with a leaking tire.(demo car)...I HAVE NEVER had to make a Ford warranty claim in 30 years .Please add that to your statistics.

I was glad to sign for that paperwork. This 6.0L was the only truck I ever bought where I did not have to take back to FORD for ALL service work. I can do my own work and still have warranty. NOT A BAD PLAN IF YA LOOK AT THE DETAILS

I just received a letter from Ford notifying me that for my 2007 F350 that the $100 deductible is eliminated for the diesel and the rest of the powertrain is extended to 5 years 60,000 miles. The safety restraint coverage is extended to 5 years 60,ooo miles.
Also roadside assistance is extended to 5 years 60,000 miles. This is for the 2007 model year.
Glad to hear this from Ford.

Have an OASIS run on it Eric. It shows up on my 06 report. I don't know at what build date they started it but it's on mine and I never got any notice of it.

Thank Matt...One of the guys did an Oasis on mine when I first joined up, but that was just for my build date(It was built on a Thursday I remember LOL).

When I get a chance, I'll have to ask them to zip it through for a full report. :thumb:
