Diesel Warranty - What's covered?

Keith Browning · April 17, 2005

I have run into a few questions on warranty coverage lately on a couple of items. This would be the 5/100 warranty after the 3/36 runs out for the 6.0L. One item was the EGR valve. I replaced an EGR valve on a 2004 F-Series with around 50K miles on it. I was questioned as to if it was covered which I "thought" it was though my warranty administrator could not find it on the chart. I suggested emissions warranty. I never heard about it again.

The second item is the fuel manifold on the HFCM that gets rusted up, sludged up and the water drain plugs get stripped. I cant find the basic part number (9A343) for that either in the chart on-line on FMC Dealer.

Any clues?

I ran into the same thing on a 6.0 EGR valve and a quick call to the warranty hot line and they said it was covered to 100000 miles or 5 years.

Warranty Hot Line? ...and they don't get annoyed when a tech calls? I guess I have to look that number up and use it the next time my warranty administrator or myself have no clue - hey, it happens! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif

You can be who ever you want to be on the phone but I make the warranty administrator make the call. I already do too much that I don't get paid for.

We just had 2 claims charged back on the EGR valves on '04 models. According to the info we got, for '03/'04 models the EGR valve is covered by the 5/100 with the $100 deductible due after 3/36. In '05 the EGR valve is covered as an emission component. Go figure.
