Heaven forbid a manufacturer try to save money in warranty repairs by not covering damage from customer modifications or abuse.
Stay stock keep your warranty coverage, modify your motor and lose your warranty coverage. It's that simple.

Oh don't take me as saying we should all stay stock. If the stock truck doesn't make you happy and you need more power, then go for it. Just don't come crying to anyone but yourself if your vehicle is less reliable and not as durable as it could have been. There is a reason that the maker only rated it for "x" amount of power output, sure there is the desire on their part to have some upgrades easily built in to keep up with the competition. However durability is one of the biggest reasons, and you can bet that if Ford could offer the truck making 500hp and still be super reliable and durable they would very likely do so.
Modding is a game for people who can intelligently weigh the real risks involved versus the perceived benefits to be gained. Sometimes the odds catch up with you, and it costs a lot of money. If you can't stand the chance of losing, then don't roll the dice.

These trucks have plenty of power for me .Reliability is the key for me. I wont modify my truck because I can't afford the downtime really. As long as it does what I need it to do there's no issues.

anyone know the warranty on this bad boy they should make it just over 100,000 or 10 years on powertrain with bumper to bumper of about 5 years 50,000 miles, that would be a huge selling point.

Man I didn't even know about diesel care plus, I know one thing I hope to keep this one for 10 years. The problem is I have a Taurus as my daily driver and therefore only put an average of 10k miles per year on my truck. This one may get even less mileage than that because I'm not snowplowing with it. I don't know...

Around $2,200 vs $2,500 for 7 years, 200,000 miles.
Easy enough to save the extra cash for two years and purchase it.
Seems almost crazy not to have it but I'm not an expert.

Pay close attention to the extended warranties that are available. I know of two people that purchased extended warranties. One from Chevy and one from Ford and both of them couldn't use them on any of the problems that they had on there vehicles after the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty.
The Chevy had a wiring harness that went bad at 60-70,000 miles. It wasn't covered, but the dealer told him that the extended warranty was just like the 3yr/36,000 and it covered everything except regular maintenance. (Friend of mine)
The Ford had EGR ports (4.6L) that were clogged up at 70,000 miles and the dealer told him the same thing that the chevy dealer that told my buddy. It's wasn't covered. (My brother)
Not trying to scare anyone, just saying to make sure you read the plan very well and ask questions about the extended warranty.

Of the two plans discussed above, the document I found specifically stated what was covered.
If the extended plan didn’t cover what was stated on the document, then I don’t know how Ford could argue or refuse repair. I guess anything is possible…
