self maintainance

if i were to do all the maintainance on my new truck, what should i do in case there was a disput with the dealer at some time during my warrantee? do i keep all the reciepts from purchasing the materials and keep a log? is this enough for the dealer or is there more i should know and do?

If you keep all the reciepts where you purchased any applicable parts then there shouldnt be a problem . For the warranty period , any trouble you have outside maintenance type things like oil changes Etc should be taken back to the Ford Shop for repairs . Under warranty , if you try to repair something & mess it up then there may be some discussion as to who should pick up the cost .Bottom line , if its anything other than scheduled maintenance under warranty , its still Fords Problem .

oh yeah, i'd deffinatly bring it back for any repairs. i was only talking about scheduled fluid changes. i remember years ago when i used to bring my car to one of those national oil change outfits (won't use their name, but they use filters with their own name on them).a freind told me that sometimes if they see their own filter on the car, they won't always change it, just give it a quick wipe. so i followed his instructions to make a small x scratch with a nail in an inconspicuous place on the filter, and sure enough, i checked it out right after they pulled it out and it was the same old filter. they had wiped it clean, but the x was still there. the manager redid the whole service over, apoligized, and gave me a free future lube (no thanks sport). been doing my own fluid changes ever since

2001 f-350 xlt super-duty 4x4, reg. cab., long bed, 5.4, 3.73 hvy-duty sus pkg,, 9900 lb gvw, airaid intake & spacer, cat back dual exhaust, rhino spray in liner, ...................AND THAT'S ALL MY MEAN WIFE WILL LET ME BUY!!!

If you use the `chain` outfits for oil changing they keep a record of what they do to your car by Vin #...
They would never want you to come back and miss selling you something you may think you need

I have used one and they guarantee New Car Service Rated!!
