If anything Sand Ranch, your experience has forced me to believe that i really don't need that trick intercooler and high ram afterall.
Best of luck to you, your family and the King......Ranch that is.

I did buy the monster exhaust but they lost me to the SC1704 tuning wise.
A guy on dieselstop said the intercooler lowered the EGT by 200-250 degrees.
I really want it but not from them under the current situation.
I'm waiting until Banks steps up and puts pressure on the Ford rep or if they don't (most likely) i'll wait till someone else fills the void.

The six gun and speed loader. The exhaust is ok. There is another guy on this forum who lost his engine and didn't disconnect the six gun before taking it in to the dealer. They blamed it for the engine and denied his warranty. They can't do anything about an exhaust which is a little bigger in diameter...that would be a stretch.
my 2 cents.

I have had many issues as well and the Ford Engineer is going to examine my vehicle tomorrow. Point is Ford throws up every and any roadblock possible dragging the process out but we will see what happens tomorrow and beyond. I am a consumer that is forced to buy american vehicles in this class because unless I want a Unimog the alternatives are nil. My vehicle will be in the shop for most likely a couple of days again and this is just to find out what is wrong so, yes I am put out and I dare say you would be as well if it were your 4 month old truck costing 43 grand plus mods that Ford had and you were stuck in a Tarus!

Okay please tell me that you DID remove a tuner and unhook batteries to clear codes before you brought it to Ford?
Have you been running a 6-gun?

Hdfatboy99,you really dont need to disconnect anything when you bring it in for service ect..they would know by the hole on the left side of your manifold and it does'nt affect your warranty unless the 6-gun is the cause of the problem,like in my case they claim it did and I bought a $10k motor for my baby..and if you removed it ect. they still know if you had an after market on ..they go in your trucks comp. and there are codes,and they can go back approx. the last 200 start-ups on your truck,and if you have them cleared like some after market devices/chip ect.they would no due to the codes..good luck with yours..sandking

You have to unplug all of it if they are reflashing. I would advise it for any service including changing the oil because if there is a flash available they will try to flash it. I took mine in after 2 starts and they did not know the Banks had been hooked up. I stated I put it in and planned to turn it on as soon as another issue has been cleared up and they said okay. SandKing I am sorry about your situation but my dealer is mod friendly anyway.
