new 6.4 diesel with banks intake and dual monster exhaust started throwing codes brought it to ford they said warranty void due to after market parts banks has an intake tube in the works, has anyone heard of the robertson act and what is it  

ive never heard of the robertson act but i have heard that if you take any 08+ vehicle to the stealership with any kind of aftermarket parts they will stick it to you.  

so stupid cant even improve the air intake anymore, which i still had my 2003 6.0  

Talk to Banks. It's in their best interest to have the dealership change there mind...after all most people would buy a product that doesn't void their warranty.  

FoMoCo can only void the warranty and deny cost free repairs if the after market addon is to blame, which this is. IE you put a CAI on and your lights stop working, FoMoCo must repair them. Now what the hell were you thinkin takin it back to the dealer ship with that CAI installed, get a little programmer read th DTC, guarantee its cause the MAF sensor is seeing more air and clear it and have a good day.  

Dont know what the hell i was thinking its easy to swap back and forth, did find out banks was having problems with the intake, they sent me out a new intake tube to replace the old one, the new one is thinner wall construction, just put it on this morn. we will see  

it dont matter if he took it back to fomoco with it on or not...  they would of still been able to tell if there was something aftermarket on it...  not like the old days boys... computers no everything...  cant stop them nowa days.  

You make think you own the truck but no you do not. The COMPUTER own's the truck, "she just let's you drive the truck". If you are not nice to the COMPUTER the COMPUTER will throw codes and shut you down.  

But if you refash the computer you can now own the computer and your truck.The 6.4 have alot more hidden power in them than what people think.  

yeah i've benn thinking about a tuner for it also but the truck is so new i'm not sure which is the best for the new diesel / dpf filter  

It's called the <u>&lt;strong&gt;Magnuson-Moss&lt;/strong&gt;</u> Act. Basically, the burden of proof is on the dealer to prove that it was aftermarket parts that caused the failure of a factory component.

For instance, they can't deny you coverage on your windshield-wiper motor because you put an exhaust or lift-kit on your truck. But if they can make a case and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a programmer or something is throwing codes, or causes your cat or DPF to go out, they could charge you for it.  

with ford wanting to void your warranty they can not just do that cause of after market parts in the lastest issuse of diesel power mag in the back of sema will tell you which law it is it protects buyers of new trucks under warranty with after market parts they have to really prove that your non stock parts cuased the problems not just becuase they want to say so. Look it up get the new intake on from banks if it did not fix the problems take it back ford if they dont comply see the manger in  a claim manner talk to him like a adult your'll have more leverage that way get him to see your side of things if not call banks tell them the problems with ford voided warranty then get sema invoided.  If it comes to a lawyer then it needs to and beside you can push  something pretty far before it gets into slander. If you can not find the actical pm me and i look it up.  My friend at work has a new dodge diesel and he just wanted to put a k-n air filter in it would be cheaper than to keep buying stock ones and dodge told him they would void his warranty. He is still running the stock one for now but hes throwing a fit with dodge about this crap and the mileage he gets, he said it was the worst mistake of his life so far. Sorry about so long  

man i am so glad i have an older truck, i don't have to deal with these issues, my friend just bought an 08 duramax and i told him he bought the wrong year, i feel bad for you guys that bought these new trucks and still wish you had your old one back.
