I have a 2011 and no where did I find a 70,000 mile warranty for a Ford truck. They have 3/36,000 for bumper to bumper, 5/60,000 for entire power train and 5/100,000 for the diesel engine.
Unless Ford changed something with the newer model year 6.7s? But I (not that "I" really matter) haven't heard or read of them doing so.

who said condemn fords????
So due to the fact that a few have had EGT sensor failures, which I don't doubt at all, we should condemn all 6.7 Fords? I appreciate feedback, and adhere to a regiment that will help alleviate failures due to poor maintenance. With that said our facilities service hundreds of 6.7 Fords. We have seen some EGT sensor failures. But in no way would it ever present me the concern to avoid the trucks. Matter of fact I have one with 30k on it and it works extremely well. The % of EGT failures to the number of the 6.7s on the road is extremely low. Of course that is of small consolation when one breaks down on the road.

If somebody wants to put the blame for these crappy motors on anybody, it's the federal government and the EPA. Man those guys know how to screw up a good thing, just look what they did to our gas by adding water (ethanol) to it.

2014 6.7 with 50,000 and no issues at all. Have a 02 7.3 with 450,000 and only minor repairs. Mseuro is 100 percent correct all the emission gadgets are tools to comply with the restrictions our government puts on the auto builders. Wife just showed up a Christmas present for herself a new Raptor, cool truck.

What is the delete kit? I have a 2011 350 and I was going to start looking for tuners or ecm mods to get better fuel economy assuming they exist.

I got the H&S programmer and dpf delete pipe. No more urea and egr is shut off. Great power and better mileage and the oil stays much cleaner! Sounds good too!

If you have some different warranty information please pass it along.

I just was told the 70,000 is for the exhaust system. Now the question is this, should the EGT probes be covered under the engine's warranty, since there failure will shut engine down? In my opinion the EGT probes are NOT a function of exhaust and are VERY much so a function of the engine since they are connected to the ECM and will shut the engine down if they fail.

[You are correct i am wrong its only a 60k mile powertrain warranty. I still have the window sticker I can show you what it says. Give me your email I will send you a pic!!!
60QUOTE=TW720HVY;4242209]Drivers of 2015s are saying they still have a 100,000 miles on the diesel engine.

Or maybe you need to find a new dealership that understands the warranty program on their diesels.[/QUOTE]

I still believe that the EGT probes should have been covered under you engine warranty if you're still under the 5/100 mark. These are not part of the power train coverage IMO since the engine requires information from them for the normal operation. It seems as if your dealership is either trying to screw you or isn't fully aware of the warranty program.
On a side note, I took my 2011 in for a shifting problem that has a TBS out for it. I provided a description of the issue word for word that the TBS stated and when I went to pick it up I was told it wasn't covered. I was told this by three different Service Writers, but I did not accept their answers because I already knew the answer from a friend who works at another dealership. They finally took it behind a close door to the manager and came out to tell me I was right and that it was covered.
My point is this, I was outside the 60K power train window and it was a hesitation and shifting issue, but it was part of the EMC/TCM programing which is a function of the engine.
