I am the proud new owner of 2006 SuperDuty Crewcab shortbox. I purchased the truck from an oilfield company for a very reasonable price after they drove it off the road into the ditch I have repaired it and it looks and drives like new. Well ... almost.

It runs and drives as it should except for cold start ups where it runs rough for 5 minutes or so and then runs well. The fuel milage is pretty decent at 18 empty and 15 with my 22 foot 5th wheel. These are Canadian figures.

After trying to learn about these trucks I am not so sure that the FICM is working 100 % I do not have any method of testing.

I have been wondering if there would be any powertrain warranty on this truck? I was told that in order to get warranty these days that you pretty much have to have documentation on the oil changes. Before I aproach the dealer I would like to be informed. Any information would sure be apreaciated.

Thank you

Engine warranty is 100k miles or 5 yrs. If the 2006 was purchased originally on or after July 14, 2006 then it has a 5 yr 60k mile "powertrain" additional warranty.

The injectors and FICM are covered under the engine warranty. The FICM should be at 0 deductible due to the special emissions warranty - at least it is here in the U.S.

Thank you very much. I was wondering about oil changes? After all you cannot expect to run cheap oil or go for crazy extended periods of time between oil changes and then expect warranty when your injectors fail . I am sure that there are some out there who would do this. I would think that the manufacturers would have some way to protect themselves?

And thanks again.

Not sure what you are trying to ask there. Change your oil every 5k miles and your injectors will thank you.

 

This comes from the " Lemon Law Blog" site... it is the type of thing that prompts my question. Since I am not the original owner I have no way of documenting the past oil changes. Hence my question


Will an oil change void your manufacturers warranty?

April 22, 2009 By: LemonLaw Category: Coolant and Oil Problems, Warranty, engine sludge, maintenance, records

An interesting article today in AOL’s automotive section sparks a debate we have seen many times over the years. A consumer starts to encounter problems with their engine. The car starts to sputter, the service engine soon light comes on, and then all of a sudden, the distressed driver finds himself stuck in the middle of a busy highway. He has his car towed to the dealer. After all, he is under manufacturers warranty and therefore there should be no issue with the car being fixed, right?

Wrong. The dealer blames the problem on engine sludge and asks to see the driver’s oil change receipts confirming that they have cared for the car as outlined in the owner’s manual. Fear starts to set in the driver’s face. He doesn’t remember if and when he got his oil changed. Perhaps, he went to a franchise, but when and how many miles were on the car? Did he take it to his mechanic? Did he change the oil himself? Before he knows it, the consumer is socked with a repair bill in the thousands and there is nothing anyone can do about it, including us. Why? because the consumer did not keep proof that he fulfilled his responsibilities.

Now more than ever, as manufacturers continue to look at the bottom line, it is imperative that you keep records of all maintenance. There is nothing wrong with going to Jiffy Lube or Grease Monkey but hold to those receipts; do not discard them with the egg mcmuffin wrapper from the sandwich you enjoyed in the waiting room. Those receipts outline the date and mileage of the service. If you choose to change the oil yourself, you want to keep the store receipt and the proof of purchase, as well as keep a written log.

If you have proof that you have covered all of your responsibilities and the manufacturer still is not covering the repair under warranty, that is where we step in. We have represented many organized drivers in these types of breach of warranty claims and manufacturers have no idea what hit them!

 

Good evnening, my truck is at the dealer where I bought it getting the oil cooler replaced. It is an o5 and the service gentleman said it would be covered by the powertrain warranty. He also said I had a 100 dollar deductible. I know my after market warranty has a 100 dollar deductible but should the powertrain warranty have a deductible?? Thank you...

 

Technically it is not a powertrain warranty - it is an engine warranty - and yes it has $100 deductible UNLESS it is covered under the emissions warranty as I stated earlier. Your FICM is covered under your emissions warranty at ZERO deductible.

 

correct ! the 3 /36 is the oem powertrain aka bumper to bumper except for some late
o6/07 that were 5/100k

the rest get the extended 5/100k engine coverage due to all the issues

 

Mark...if he bought one of our trucks with a "Certified Pre-Owned" label like mine...it will not only include the original 100/5 for the engine...but also a 100K for the powertrain too. And it does include a $100 dollar deductible.

To me, $100 is cheap insurance against things that can go wrong on our 6.0's.

Mike

 

Good to know Mike - thanks!

Still, the Emissions Warranty is in effect if under 5 yrs and 100k - and that is w/ zero deductible on the covered parts.

 

I have an 07 and never heard about 5/100 except for the powertrain, mine came with a 3/36. I would like to know more about the 5/100 if your saying it was bumper to bumper.

 

maybe it was only later07 with the 6.0 ( maybe when the 6'4 came out and they were on the same lot together? I only heard about the rare few after I bought My 06 on the very day the 3/36 expired lol ,, I went with an aftermarket extended warranty because ford stated they would deny most powertrain claims do to the lift .. the aftermarket warranty was ok with the lift for a few extra $$ and I have it in writting

Gaurdian Warranty

 

That's something to look into as far as a warranty company. I did buy mine is 07 when the 08 were on the lot and never heard of the 5/100, course I am sure the dealerships weren't just offering that bit of information either.

 

I dont think there was a 5/100 bumper to bumper on anything. I think that Ford came out with a 5/60 powertrain to be a little competetive with GM's 5/100 powertrain. As far as the 5/100 engine warranty goes, all the 6.0's have it.

 

You are correct. Maybe some dealerships added on some warranty, but Ford did not.

The 5/60 from Ford was for each vehicle purchased after July 14, 2006 (complimentary for the 2006 model years, standard for the 2007's).
