@jamanrr - I'm not disagreeing with you on what your Window Sticker shows, as mine shows the same thing, but I am questioning interpretation of
all owner materials.
I did a little research on F250 SuperDutys on the
Ford website and in that same section on Window Sticker, they do specifically list the 5yr/100K warranty for "Diesel Engine"
on both Gasoline and Diesel F250s
=> This would seem to support your argument since the 5yr/100K is listed in the Warranty section of the Window Sticker
regardless of Engine type for F250s
=> I have attached Window Stickers for the following:
- 2019 Ford F250 w/6.2L V8 Gasoline Engine
- 2019 Ford F250 w/6.8L V8 Diesel PowerStroke Engine
Here is my argument: Ford went out of their way to extend their PowerStroke branding down to this little Lion 3.0L "Baby PS" diesel
=> Ford is king of using brand for marketing
=> The Warranty Guide I linked to above covers
all Ford trucks (excludes F650 and F750 + Hybrids + Electrics)
=> The Warranty Guide does not specifically exclude the F150 Diesel from their "blanket" 5yr/100K PowerStroke Diesel warranty
=> I am saving a copy of this PDF to my laptop hard drive now before they make any changes
Question to ask is: Did the geniuses in Ford Marketing organization actually sync up with the Service organization handling warranties to clarify where this engine lies?
My guess: Probably not
Without the explicit spelling out on the F150 Window Sticker, I think that the "blanket" PowerStroke Engine warranty in the Warranty Guide would prevail
=> If Ford doesn't want a 5yr/100K warranty on the F150 3.0 PS Diesel, then they should explicitly exclude this engine in the Warranty Guide
=> IANAL but I think this could be challenged in a court of law
=> I see this as an opening/opportunity for those F150 Diesels owners who haven't purchased an ESP
I'll retract my early position/posts, as
a.) There is a clear discrepancy between the F150 Diesel Window Sticker and the
2018 Ford Warranty Guide
b.) I already purchased a 8yr/100K extended warranty ESP
therefore I have no dog-in-this-fight.
I guess maybe what I should be trying say is that I think there is conflicting warranty information on our vehicles that some F150 PS owners might be able to parlay into an extended warranty for their engines.
For those owners
who have not purchased an ESP, it might be an interesting question to pose to the Sales and Service departments at your dealership (and watch the blank stares ensue) to find out what Ford's official position is on this particular topic... (For anyone who does, please post back with your findings!)
