Does this affect those of us with pre-existing extended warranties? I'm counting on that extra 25K...

Someone posted on the SMB Yahoo group (same subject) that Good Sam Club will issue an SMB 4x4 extended warranty $450 a year to include everything, including the motor home stuff (like the fridge) with a $500 deductible.

The warranty package cancellation does not affect existing plans and Ford still offers a plan for all Ford built 4x4s, but not Quigley which surprised me. We have Ford vans at work that are four wheel drive and I was told they were done by Quigley for the Ford corporation. According to Jay, these too are no longer availiable. If I were going Quigley I would check with them. I am looking at the Good Sam offer as well.

Well, I just got a mailer frm FORD on an Extended Service Plan (ESP) that they are offering. It never describes it an an extended warranty, but is certainly sounds like one. 7yrs / 100k miles

I know that we had previously determined that the Ford Extended Warranty offering had disappeared, but now it sounds like given the current conditions, that FORD may be looking for a way to keep customers and a little more cash flow.

Yesterday, I talked to James Minto, who works for Town Ford in Fresno (650-562-2225). When I asked him about getting an extended warranty, he said Ford was not giving any extended warranties for vans with an added 4X4.

I was very surprised to get this mailer.

A lot of third party suppliers try to make their mailers look like they are manufacturers, so I looked at the this pretty closely to make sure it was really from FORD, and it does look like it.

I have not read the details of program yet. I will try and read it tonight.

wouldn't surprise me. How about those of us that are too late now to enroll? Keep us informed.

My 5 years ends this July. The van is in the shop right now with the turbo removed (TRL came on: "Turbo Replacement Light"). I do not know right now what the repair will be. I only have 33K TOTAL miles on the vehicle but this is my 3rd turbo. This visit should not cost more than $100 even if they put on turbo #4. Without the warrantee it would have been about $1000 to remove and repair (carbon?) and I think he told me once about $1800 to replace with a reman unit. Turbo #2 lasted 7000 miles and 362 days. Maybe this repair will have a 1 year coverage so I'll just drive it like I stole it. Very discouraging. I might do this once out of pocket but then I will sell the van. Getting the 6.0 diesel has been the worst consumer decision I've ever made.

I called Ford regarding their extended warranty on the diesel engine 7yr/100,000mi. I also told them that the van was a 4wd conversion RV and they said no problem. The quoted me $1970 for the warranty.

I had coking (carbon deposits) this freezes up the vaiable pitch vanes. The turbo was cleaned and I got a new unison ring where the claim is that this is a upgraded design (different metal (nickel?) something is now larger - oh well you have to believe them. To be on topic I could have got the extended warranty but for me that is only 2 more years and $1850 so I'll just wing it. Now a mileage one I would have bought but that's not an option. For people like me who only drive 5-6,000 miles a year it would be nice!

Anyway, I'm researching fuel additives and maybe be running the engine more to keep that turbo turboing!
