not yet, all the ford dealers in the chicagoland area tell me its all the mods i have on it and thats without looking at the truck and if they have to pull the trans i could be billed for all the labor and repairs that could be over $3500, i think they just don't want the work, also i had 3 dealers tell me to take it back to the dealer i bought it from and they tell me the same thing,but i did talk to a dealer thats 1 1/2 hour away in the sticks that does install lifts & oversize tires that would look at it under warranty,we will see

my gear was 3.73 and the shop that put on my 4.56 gear,6" bds lift said it would be back to stock with 35" tires would be no problem, the problem is my trans i have no reverse and all the ford dealers in the chicagoland area tell me my warranty would be voided if they have to look into the problem,i only have 3000 miles on 2010 fx4 it just sucks knowing that.

I have 35" tires, 4.10 gears and wish I had done the 4.56's. The only reason I would not go to the lower gear would be that it would be too much if I ever went down to a 33" or stock tire. I also had no problem whatsoever with transmission repair after the regear. I needed a torque converter. Good luck either way!
