Those who have responded to my post may not be the ones who thinks Steve is lying (but may be you are) but the the phrase "if he even has the truck" has come up more than once.
This thread took a turn for the worst at post 8 and 9. Steve came here talking about his warranty being voided. He knew it could happen but was upset about the way it was handled by Ford. They didn't tell him anything and tried to viod his entire warrantee.
Steve my advice to you is give these guys your VIN to shut them up! This is the internet. Shoot maybe half these guys here don't really have a brand new 08.

If you wonder why I asked for his Vin in confidential, that would have saved us 2 locked threads. I am not here to deny or support what has been done to the truck. If he would have submitted the Vin it would have helped keep the flames down on the thread. So if powerstroked162 feels abused, it is under his own terms.
If you keep the discussion civil I leave it open. No BS for me to ask for a Vin, many discussions have turned out well from doing so.

This thread was very civil until post 8 and 9 where others started calling this thread fishy, which means they are calling Steve a liar, pure and simple thats what those statements mean! so if your talking civility on Steve part he has nothing to worry about. The other's (with a few exceptions) are the one who should have the finger pointed at. Sure there has been no name calling but they have implied Steve is a liar many times.

If you want help I am always available. I could have backed his story in confidential, that choice was his.
Keep it on topic or I will.

"So if powerstroked162 feels abused, it is under his own terms."
Absolutely agree. He seems to only add enough to his "remarkable" story to keep the threads going, I have come to believe that he enjoys the speculation and controversy.
I am not saying he is lying, I am saying I am having a harder and harder time believing it all.

Magnusson warranty act is irrelevant then.
For power mods or removing whole systems it is irrelevant anyway. AFASIK MM is for replacement parts that meet or exceeds OEM specs. So I have know idea how chipping a truck would qualify.
I do not have a 6.4

What a worthless thread! Cowboy I hope you get your warranty worked out, they cannot void the entire warranty. It must be the way he writes that gets people upset because he hasn't claimed to have done anything to his truck that dozens of people on this site and others have done. I would like to see pictures, but only because I would like to see the truck not because I don't think he has it.

Ok, name one of those dozens that;
Needs his $40,000 plus 2008 Ford Super Duty truck for his business to the tune of 16,000 plus miles already, yet monkeys around with it like its a toy.
Removed the DPF thoasands of miles ago and never once went into regeneration hell.
Been back to the Ford store twice for head gasket replacement stating the gaskets were pinched or installed incorrectly yet now they are voiding his warranty.
Lists a tuner as one of his many mods on his truck but then when asked says its never been on the truck.
Multiple times has stated pictures and videos are coming, yet ASFAIK they have not been posted despite making 500 posts since end of July even with time off on a FTE "vacation".
