What people seem to forget is they have the power to reset the entire truck back to AS-BUILT, just like the day it rolled off the assembly line. That tid bit of info should be enough to give the greatest of worry warts room to breath.

That's why you should hide your license plate with your thumb! to prevent the Ford stalkers on here from figuring out who you are and preemptively voiding your warranty. I heard they get a $500 bonus for every warranty they void! ROFLMAO!!!

Seriously though, Ford will not risk loosing a customer for life, just because they turned on their DRLs, Remote start or another feature that they already included in the truck!
Now if you start messing with engine settings and blow up your truck, they might have an issue with that! Otherwise, nothing to worry about.

Ford doesnt give a **** about losing you as a customer. If they did, the A/C in my truck would be as cold as the rentals they gave me while my truck was as the dealer for ****ty A/C and then telling me that even though i was still under the basic 3/36 warranty if i brought it to Ford again for ****ty A/C it would NOT be covered.


For that, and that one reason only is why when i bought my wife a brand new car last year it was NOT a Ford and i bleed blue!

Dont think for one second they give a flying %^&* about you.

The a/c in my wife's Escape will freeze you out, much smaller area to cool perhaps? The one in my truck is sufficient, could be better no doubt.

I do agree with the part about Ford not giving a ****, that's pretty much par for the corporate course, think you'll get better else where?

Maybe if you buy a Benz or Jag or some other high priced import.

OK, 1 more question.

What's the latest OBDII connector everyone is using with Forscan now? I'd prefer a USB wired unit over a wifi or bluetooth unit. Any suggestions?
