Well as many of you have read my L is down right now with no compression on the #7 cylinder well I brought it to ford and without even tearing the motor apart to find out why it had no compression they voided my warranty because my pcm box had been open, even after I told them that the ford dealership that I bought the truck from when they put the new motor in because the previous owner put a chip, pulley and other things and blew the motor up, did not change the pcm and that it was open when I bought the truck. Anyway after 7 days of arguing they decided to do the smart thing a tear the motor down and see what was wrong. The verdict was a bent valve and broken rocker arm. So after a few more rounds with ford they decided to warranty it and I should get my truck back on Wednesday. They had to order a new head for the truck and she will be good as new, aslo they are putting a new pcm on the truck. So I will have a spare that I will sale if anyone wants one. But I am thankful they are fixing it because the dealership quoted me an outrageous price of 4100 dollars to fix it. So yea for me. :banana:

Well done... if you stick to your guns, and are polite, understanding, and logical, you'll get prety much anything you want from them, especially if they beleive you in the first place, and realize that you're not trying to rip 'em off. But if yougo in spouting flames and obscenities, the mental doors slam shut, and you're gonna get nowhere. ;)
