Those are all true if the body lift is incorrectly installed.
To say that the warranty on all of those things is void due to the body lift is false. If his brakes fail and they determined the brake lines were over-extended due to the installation of the body lift, that is another story. Same with the steering or anything. At least here, technically they have to prove/show that your modifications caused the problem/failure.

 

man, those crazy asian ladies

 

I never said it would void a warranty. I said it does effect other things. examples:

If your a/c hose rubs through cause the tensioner pulley was rubbing on it after the body lift, you're not gonna get a warranty repair on it.

If your radiator gets a hole from sitting 3" lower (and exposed) and it overheats your motor, warranty won't cover it. If the steering extension you put in comes loose and you loose control and wreck- no warranty.

if your check engine light comes on cause there is lost pressure in the gas tank, it's probably due to cutting and splicing the filler tube.

 

Just to be clear, I wasn't actually disagreeing with you at all.
I said "To say that the warranty on all of those things is void due to the body lift is false," I never said that you said that it would void the warranty. lol

 

I know a lot of people from ford an from what they say if they can tell any thing is after market on the drive train is automatic void of warranty... here at ours even if you change your own oil with out buying it from them..void on the life time engine warranty really the only way you can keep the warranty is to leave it stock but it could just be the dealer here there quite strict. Me my self i don't really care i do all my own repairs any how. An for the k&n in my opinion there great filters oh an for the oil you only spray the side from where the air is coming not on the top side near the mas airflow. Even if your did a ranger dose not pull air threw hard enough to pull the oil off the filter to get it on the mas air flow any how.

 

Your buddies might say that but the law says they can't void a warranty unless it is proven that the modification caused the failure.

As far as the K&N issue... don't certain Mustangs come factory with a similar filter? (Bullitts, GT/CS, Shelbvs) Or is that just non oiled?

 

Well that may be true but the law is gonna listing to a mechanic over your average joe an some dealers are fine with it..some have bad management an will do any thing they can to get there money my uncle had an cold air intake an silver line exhaust on his truck an his trans screwed up an they said those voided the warranty so he told em that was bs an they told him to leave ..but i belive its just our dealer we had tons of complaints about it.

 

my dirtbike can suck enough air to pull the excess oil off a k&n... any vehicle's maf will be at "risk" to an over oiled k&n

unlike what some people say k&n is a great filter when properly maintained, the viper along with tons of other factory vehicles use them

 

key word over oiled but it even says that plainly on the box..there is full instructions if ya screw up basicaly its your fault not the filter an for the oil..there is like an inch or so the oil would have to be lifted up off the filter to even make it to the intake tube..but the oil is to sticky an thick to be be lifted up to the mas airflow or off the filter for that matter...your mas air flow is not at risk unless you spray the oil directly on it to prove me wrong..an even then it will be fine

WATCH VIDEOS!! an here is every ones proof that K&N is a good filter an oil will not get on the sensor or hurt it

absolutely

the people you know are full of ****

Magnuson?Moss Warranty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a judge will take the law's word over a mechanic's... they have to prove without a doubt, that your modification caused the damage, if there is any doubt, they cover it... innocent until proven guilty...

... you did a suspension lift and your rear pinion wore out, your warranty is not necissairly void, even though the pinion angle changed... they have to prove that the damage to the diff was caused by the difference in angle... this isn't necissairly hard... them just saying you lifted it, the angle was different is circumstantial evidence, which is NOT proof, it's supporting evidence... pictures of wear on the top/outerside of the casing, and bottom inner side of where the pinion goes, which is caused by the sharper angle, and the pinion trying to compensate IS proof

 

You best calm down before you get your panties in a wad ..I have seen it happen so im assuming your saying im full of it also ..just because how a dealer or any thing for that matter works in your town or a few others dose not mean there all the same an if u do not belive that. cookeville ford got shut down an had to get all new management they hired almost all new people because of the crap they done...an they moved to a different location across town if you do not believe that then call the dealer your self if your want the number let me know ill give it to ya...i think you an a few other people on this site are dumb as a box of rocks an you are jealous of the others actually getting along trying to help one or nother out with there truck problems like this site was designed for...an to you an all the disrespectful people on here if you do not have
something positive to say then leave!!

Go ahead an get me kicked off this site i could care less...I'm only here to help others an share ideas..Me my self i don't need any help i know my truck front to back

 

My dealer(s) have never said anything about the K&N filter. I call BS!

 

You calling bs on me?

 

haha I call BS on the dealers like I called BS on mine when I took it in for an oil change LESS than a few hundred miles with my BL and they told me my BL caused my tranny fluid to look like oil. I called BS and did it right to their face. As for the K&N, we've run them in all my vehicles and have never had a problem nor at the dealers. I can only talk from my own experiences. I actually think some people are jealous when they see a nice ride come in! HAHA

 

Haha sad to say but that's probably the truth. but i cant say much cause when i seen this one guy leaving the dealer in his new shelby gt500 mustang i hung my head in sorrow Lol

 

see what I'm saying!

 

your magnusen act does not apply in canada

we have our own laws

although your vehicle is warranted by ford.of canada
the dealers are instructed to look for any non-ford modifications done on any vehicle
the ford canada head office must be informed of any warranty voiding work done on any customers vehicle

this was confirmed by my dealers HEAD MECHANIC

 

I don't know why people are hating so much on K&N filters. My truck has benefited from a nice MPG boost when i switched over.

 

becuase people dont keep them maintained properly, dont read instructions, get there mafs oily and blame it all on K&N for being a crappy filter. People are just dumb, that is all

 

This is all exactly the reason when I buy a vehicle I deny any warranties or other sales incentives. Any "incentive" they try to give me to keep me coming back and spending my hard earned cash at their place of business is pure evil in my mind. I buy the car, not a piece of paper with strict regulations and "rules" to keep me coming back for an extended period of time. For what reason does the billion dollar Ford Corporation need my pennies any way?

Warranty Schmarranty!

 

first off, get you kicked off this site? what is up your ***? i have no ambition to get anyone kicked off this site... grow up and stop being so melodramatic you little 6t year old... my point is law is law, but the dealerships are going to try to make people look like *** hats to make money... know your rights and laws to protect you (because they WILL break a law like that to make money) i don't see how this is causing you to have sand in your vagina towards me... all i'm saying is your friend is telling you false truths... he is saying things that are at best half truths (weither or not he thinks it IS truth is another matter...)

true, but common law comes into effect here, and you can plead your case with the magnusen-moss act to the judge, and if you know how to put on figurative knee pads (perfect time to...) worst case senario is you split the cost with the dealer...

common law (in canada) is any thing that has become common practice based on foreign law, or local practice based on previous experiences in relation to your situation

not saying you are going to win, every judge has a stick up their *** for one priticular aspect (excessive force of a peace officer, abnormal circumstances, race, colour, creed, ect...) talk to a lawyer about this, i'm sure you can get a short 5r second answer in this circumstance

 

Well see that's what i was trying to say not that there is no way your cant prevent it. I ment that some will try there best to rip you off an some people let it happen cause they eather dont know enough about cars to know they just got suckered in to something or some people just pay it an go on with there day cause they dont feel like taking it to court an missing work or paying court cost in some cases. maybe we just had a little miss understanding on that but that's fine it happens ..but to say i have sand in my vagina that's taking it alittle to far..I do my best to keep it clean THANK YOU lol ...something like that would normaly make me mad but the way you said it actually made me laugh

 

so im guessin he got BANNED


















HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa point and laugh

 

i think you are right with this here... i'm not here to create internet drama... i've got better things to do, my point is, most people don't know the laws that protect them (granted the mm act isn't canadian) like i said above, i would be very surprised if you took it to small claims court and lost... you basicly explain to the judge that what you did (tires, bl, painted headlights... what ever) created no more difference to the driveline than putting a sticker on the rear window... and that there is no reason that this unrelated modification should cause your warranty to be void... (tires is probably a bad example, as most cases tires could be atributed to premature wear on any driveline component) i think you understand what i'm saying right?

at the end of the day, if metro ford voided his warranty for a body lift, go to another dealer, and talk to them... if they won't do it because metro put a note on your vehicle's information in the computer, send an e-mail to ford canada explaining your situation and how the body lift has absoultely no effect on your driveline... like ok, if your fan chews up your rad... you might have an issue, because you relocate the rad in the lift...

go ahead and stick that foot a little farther into your mouth

 

So let me get this right. The dealer voids your warranty for suspension..because you jacked your truck up... they inform you of this..you get angry and put out an internet posting... the tech can't work on your truck and utilize his tools because of what you've done to your truck...and to top it all off..you find the problem..and behold - it was your fault due to your suspension modifications..so you post an online thread bashing the Dealership..where you somehow manage to find another tech who agrees with you that Lifting a truck is less of a modification ..than a damn K&N filter.
You think you see it all in law enforcement and military but damn! Just cant understand mindsets and this world.

haha, ahhh; i'm just crappin ya. Glad you found the issue.
