Yes! Usually you can call them but need the vin or could drive it in to the dealer! Newest updates I've seen for the 2004-2008 f150s is the air bag recall on harness and the transmission vacuum hose over the bell housing! It can be requested to have a reflashed PCM but they charge you for it not free like a recall! Our customer cost is like $89.95 and takes like 20-30 min from the time the IDS and VCM are hooked up to the truck!
I have a full bumper to bumper warranty on the pickup
Got a 36k warranty when I got it, I got my truck at 84 not 79k I still got a few miles
Will camphasers be covered?

Cam phasers are covered by power train warranty and not sure about bumper to bumper! That's a different department that deals with that! Belt slippage is common in about all f150 trucks! The torque transfer and the rpm drop due to shifting is common for belt to slip and squeal for a second! Totally normal! As for your warranty I would call your dealer and ask them! I fix stuff that brakes with tools I don't push papers and sit behind a desk all day like the sales and warranty department! Call them and just ask! Best advice right theee
Dealership is a good family friend. I git a hella deal on my truck and get family discounts plus warranty's on repairs

I have a 2005 fx4 with 5.4 of course and get 13 city and 20 highway! 76k on the truck! Mods are K&N CAI, bully dog tuner, Custom computer remap by yours truly (I am a ford tech at a dealer), comp cams, and exhaust! But I am also making 450hp or more! Also tires I am running are 275/70/18 and I have brush guard as well so it's not that! Most people need to see if there is a update for your PCM on 04-07 f150 trucks! Makes a big difference
