I just got and 03 w/ 110K and the turbo was never off because it was driven for long periods of time.. drive it like a Semi and there will be little problems w/ the 6.0L... 6.4L will have some new sensors and heaters to controll these things. also I am wondering if the Ultral low sulfur fuel will help out the coking any.. time will tell..

The 100,000 mile engine warranty covers specific engine parts beyond the 3/36 warranty (or for me, the 5/60), for a $100 deductible.
My salesman made a point of explaining the warranty to me when I was signing the papers. I did learn that the 5/60 extension was only for the drivetrain, not the entire vehicle. I had thought I knew everything better than the salesman

They are all 3/36K, 5/100K on diesel. You could have purchased a Ford ESP warranty when the truck was new, but that is only to pick up where the 3/36K left off on the rest of the truck, you still would have the diesel $100 per repair visit co-payment.. aftermarket warranties have co-payments too. and so do other manufactors. $100 is much less than the $1400 turbo, nevermind the labor for diag and installing the turbo..
tell you what mine has 112K and i need a turbo, set me up w/ your VIN# so I can warranty one for mine and I will gladly pay the $100 for it... I will even pay you for it!!! Just Kidding man.
I own a home and it has no warranty.. brand new homes have no warranty...we should be mad about that!!!

5/100 powertrian. I'm not happy having a deductible on a manufacturer's warranty. I have NEVER heard of that.
