100K warranty work
Hello all.
I am nearing the 100K mile marker pretty quick and I am gearing up to have some warranty work performed on the engine before it runs out. I am sitting on 93K at the moment.
The biggest and most important is swapping the factory bolts for head studs. As some of you may remember my horror story of exactly a year ago; a year has passed and the truck is running fine and dandy but I'm getting what I should have gotten in there now in the first place: ARP studs.
Any other pointers I should address to the tech before the warranty runs out?
What are typical things to have them inspect?
Thanks,
KING

Have them inspect anything you're willing to pay to inspect. Warranty does not cover inspections, it covers broken things. It also won't cover replacing head bolts for head studs when nothing is wrong.

True - but having just brought mine in before my 100k runs out....
get in your truck with a paper and pencil and go over it....
we kept a pad in it for a few days and whenever we found something -
we noted and asked about it...
that little idle bump you got 'used to' over time could be injectors.... ask about that....
the rear wing that stopped opening - ask about it ....
any intermittent thing ? ask about it.....
make 3 copies of the list....
give one to svc writer - save 1 - and have another to add to and check when u pick it up....
good luck...
