Talk about procrastination...

I just cancelled my extended warrantee today. I had the 7 year - 100,000.
Been meaning to do it for a while now.

The guy goes "Why you cancelling? , Did you put a chip in it?"

(Holding back from laughing ), I was like, " Something like that".

You imagine if I tried to use my warrantee.." UMM... Mr. Telesco , Ford doesn't sell Kenne Bell blowers. "

Most aftermarket extended warranties allow the customer to take the vehicle to any repair facility for repairs. Also, they dont know as much about these trucks as Ford does and they dont send out an adjuster. Blowntruck had a headgasket and transmission repairs done by JJ at his shop and his extended warranty paid the 2400 bill without ever coming to look at the truck, and it had almost 80kmiles on it.

You may have been able to have your truck fixed under the extended warranty without Ford ever having to touch it. Modded or not.

Just thought you should know

Later...

The thing that sucks is they prorate the warranty. If you buy a 100K miles warranty is technically starts at 0 miles. So If you cancel at 30K they pro-rate you for the 70K miles even though the factory warranty would have picked up any repairs anyways.

Its all a rip off...

I bought a 100K but all I really care about is when the window motors go out or door locks quit working.. crap like that.

As said above, you can usually take the track to a non-dealer and have the repairs completed. So even if you aren't stock things could still get paid for.

I definately Lost 'Hand'. I never even saw it coming. All the sudden my money was Her money.

Now we are saving for a bigger house (We are looking at one w/ 4 garages WOOHOO), then furniture, then this, then that...etc.

The L won't be getting much done in the future.

Back to the subject. Its a Fomoco warrantee and besides I modded the ***** out of it. Its now My problem, not Fords.

Broke or not , I have no problem with the pay to play theory

One of those garages better have my name on it
Instead of me meeting you and the Boys on those special race days, I can come to your house a week early and borrow one of your spare bulit motors (oh ya, you should get one of those)
Of course you have no prob with pay to play
YOU GOT A GOT DAM MONEY TREE
OR SOMETHING

Us poor people can't afford to blow the Motor, but everytime me and Gator get going, we do seem to push it a little more.
(it's that time again) CANT WAIT FOR FALL BRO ..............

and BTW, who has it better than You V,
They don't make um like Teri anymore, (you sure she dont have a sister)

Hey I know, you guys can adopt a teenage Daughter,
AND I CAN MARRY HER

DAD

they would have voided your warranty for an aftermarket paint job...


"sir those flames aren't stock, we have to void your warranty"
