Something fell off my stroker
Doing some work at my farm today and found a piece that came off my truck in the road. I have attached some pictures in hopes someone can identify it. Near as I can tell a bolt worked loose.
If you click the pic once you have reached the link it will enlarge further....

Where it came from under the hood:

From underneath

I just got my truck (03' F350 XLT 6L powerstroke) it is still under a 4 yr warranty (engine, trans, +few other things)
I am thinking something just wore loose or when they had it on the lot they did a few things and didn't tighten something.
Anyways I am here to find out what it is, and how costly it will be to get it reattached, would this be considered an under warranty repair or what...?
Thanks in advance

It looks like an A/C compressor clutch to me. Never heard of one coming off like that. If you can find the right hardware, you may be able to re-install it, although it may be out of balance depending on how hard it hit when it fell off.

Well I was hoping there might be some dealership mechanics on these forums who would know.

If you have a powertrain warranty, it will not be covered.
But good news... AC compressors (with a brand new clutch) is cheap for Fords.

If that part fell off... hmmm are you in danger of losing everything if there is only one serpentine belt?
Or at least everything on that belt...
I'd have a look see if something else is about to fall apart.
And take it to the dealer fast.

It doesnt sound like it would be covered. I assume you got a A/M warranty which may not over much anyway. I spent 5 years in a dealer fighting with non factory warranty companies that wanted to use used parts, and pay 1/2 the labor rate.
Like it was already stated new compressors are not too expensive anyway, just remeber that you need to hve the refridgerant recoverd with a machine, then you need to remove the compressor, balance the compressor oil, reinstall the compressor, vacum the system and recharge.
Check with the dealer first and see if its covered, maybe do it with a phone call cause some dealers may charge you a 100.00 diag fee just for pulling the truck in the bay. They do that up here, even though anyone could tell you the compresor clutch fell apart.
