Two things I will never do,

Tires would be warranted if they wore out at 20,000 miles.

I believe if the Dealer could show the shocks failed, they would be warranted too. If I recall, I had some replaced by Ford under...

How do you decide they are shot? Oil out the top?

I've never replaced a shock yet. Had OEM Ranchos on my 2006 with 75K miles. Guess I'm not that perceptive of the ride.

Also interesting, on my sticker under FX4 Off-Road Package it says "Less Tire Inflation Monitor". Took me and the Dealer a while to figure out what that meant, but Fords TPMS does not have the...

It would be important to know what "speed" he was towing at. That can be the difference between 11 and 21 from the same truck (not towing).

15 sounds pretty incredible - more like a fish story...

I just tested it - and it does bind, so maybe they were right in the fact it was working when they drove it. Maybe it was sticking when I got it stuck in the sand and had to get out and manually hub...

Thanks Vaughan,

It does bind up when I use the hubs. So much for the sensor idea eh? That guy is gone as of last week - should have had it re-checked when I had it in last week for a $600...

Actually it is a thread about an F450 vs an F350 which has somehow drifted into unsolicited inferences of other brands.
