Emblem Cracking
Just like our fleet of 06' F-150's, my emblem on my 2011 F250 is starting to peel and bubble up on the front grill. Every 06' had their rear and front emblems replaced close to 3 times until we just gave up and lived with it. I thought Ford fixed this problem? Going to the dealer tomorrow to get a warranty repair. Anybody elses doing this?

The bumper rusting issue is one that I am monitoring. When I waxed the truck recently (on an unusually warm day in the Northeast) I found that the bumpers are not smooth. My microfiber towels was constantly snagging chrome artifacts. I haven't looked at them with a magnifying glass but I suspect these are either excess chrome or more likely, small pin hole rust spots.

My So Cal dealer ordered a replacement grille emblem under warranty today when I had the truck in for the NOX/PCM flash. The truck is 18 months old with 20k on it. They claimed it was not covered under warranty, but eventually I got them to do it.
Does anyone know if the grille has to be removed in order to replace the emblem? The service writer gal couldn't tell me for sure. If so, I'll replace the stock yellowish halogen lamps with silverstar or the like while they have it off.
BTW, the NOX/PCM flash has worked wonders on the transmissions shift issues, also it looks like the mileage is better too.

The grille is chrome plated plastic, and I'm convinced the bubbling is caused by the plastic gassing off in the heat/sun. My stepdad never parks his trucks (02 & 10 Superduties) inside and they are both bubbling/peeling. I always park mine ( 06 & now an 11) in the shade and have never had one do it.
