yea sure, you can do that. It will cost an as$load of money to pay them straight up though. IMO, I don't think most dealerships would go out of there way to take on the job...they might send you to a known diesel shop in the area. this is more of a question for the dealership.

Ford doesn't usually do studs for the helluva it because the customer wants studs put in. The heads have to need it and then sometimes the dealership still tries to do other stuff to "fix" it. Sometimes you can get a deal with a local performance shop and it'll be cheaper then a dealership, although, I'm one of the lucky ones that has a dealership that matches just about every shop(atleast every one that I would want to deal with) within the area(BDP is cheaper but it's a longer drive, but I still use them when it requires specialty in the mod. sector to do the repair work). If you want to have ford do it, more then likely your going to need to have head problems which will require blown headgaskets(you might find one willing to do it despite not having symptoms but that will be a lucky find.

this is how it works in a dealership first we determine what bew the gaskets and belive me we can second if we find that is a ligit concern we fix it back to STOCK not with studs ford does not approve of them and wont allow them to be installed under warrenty and if we find it was a deliberate attempt to this you be paying for the whole job my adive is to have a good shop do it becase if you take it to a dealer with a good diesel tech he will figure it out and void your warrenty
