Ford issues Technical Service Bulletins same as Dodge. Owners who supposedly have been denied warranty HAVE TO EXIST if this has ever happened. These people must have in their possession PROOF that denial of warranty has occurred. Kapisch? Literature exists right from OEM as to how to operate an OEM code reader and WHICH CODES are assigned to detect the use of improper diesel.
