injector warranty

My # 3 injector decided to start pouring fuel into the cylinder in Wyoming during my PCS from Idaho to Mississippi, I have 56K miles on the truck, does anyone know if the injectors are covered under the 100K warranty or if I'm going to have to pay for this out of pocket. Thanks

Code P0269-#3 contribution, fuel smell in the oil and excessive grayish fuel smelling smoke at all RPMs, no loss of coolant. I use the gray bottle Stanadyne additive and Rotella synthetic oil-normally change the oil every 5K but was lazy and this change has 6K on it, still should have been an issue though

glad to hear that I'll only be out $100, now the only fun part is making a 1400 mile drive in 26 hours

Injectors are covered 5 year 100k as long as it's not caused by contaminated fuel.

I think you need to pay for it. Why, after all your mods (including a tuner) do you think Ford should have to foot the bill?

Ofcourse that just my opinion

that all depends on what caused it to stick...the 6.0 inj have enough problem on there own and i wouldnt be fast to point my fingers at the tuner...although ford will...you can count on that....
