Who's warranty is it? You want to read the contract, as that is all a warranty is, just to be sure what they are covering. We bought a used car and paid for a warranty, then in 2 months they sent the "details" which was the full contract and we were able to cancel and get most NOT ALL of our money back.

Most used car/truck warranties have lots of "outs" for them....

Congrats on the truck, it does look nice and with FTE on your side, you will be just fine with your new ride

Yea I will definitely be going over it but it should be pretty straight forward I work for the dealer I got it from and it's almost a bumper to bumper warranty. I think I went with aul

Congrats & welcome to FTE!

Nice looking pick-up!


Like posted above, there are some very knowledgeable and helpful folks here to help out when the time arises. I bought mine recently and the advice & help I received was top notch. I now feel comfortable & ready to pull the 5th wheel camper cross country.

Here is a link to the thread I started. These folks helped me out big time when I noticed my oil temp & ELC temp Delta was outside the norm.

Don't fix anything that ain't broke. Maintenance is key with this truck and it will treat you well. Motorcraft or Racor (they make the motorcraft filters) filters only.

Scan Gauge II can monitor most gauges on the truck. If you have an android device, for $25 you can use Torque Pro with blue tooth OBDII reader. Its a litte better than SGII in my opinion.

Check your delta and FICM voltages. If they're fine, just drive the thang. Run it at least once a week and blow it out good. The turbo veins tends to want to stick if these trucks just sit. I've got the same camper puller as you (+ 100k miles) and I try and drive it once a week and "exercise" it when I do.

Congrats
