Yeah I get it but this is just one (maybe not so great) example of ford turning their back on an issue that perhaps they should address. I was denied a TSB for rough shifting transmission because I have an intake. Really?

I agree with Fordtechone 100 percent. You can’t expect Ford or any other manufacturer to warranty a product that you purposely alter or modify, especially to the extent that he has. I don’t feel bad for the dude at all. Do people mod their trucks? Sure they do. But you gotta accept some responsibility when you make alterations that change the original design. It’s not like he is bitching that his transmission went out because he added a different bumper. He tore into that truck pretty good changing out major components.
If you want a race trophy truck then buy or build one. Even those vehicles that are raced and managed by professional teams have a cadre of mechanics and support personnel. Watching his videos you get the idea he thinks he’s a pro driver for Terrible Herbst or another pro team.

Suspension and steering are one in the same. He installed aftermarket suspension components, lifted it, installed 37’s, and then beat on it until the steering rack failed. He committed warranty fraud by reinstalling the factory tires and then bringing it in for warranty work. He has fully documented his mods on his channel, a judge with any common sense would throw this clown out of court.

That’s a dealer discretion issue at that point; at the corporate level Ford is not going to have an issue with a transmission TSB on a speed density engine with an aftermarket intake.
This is exactly what I thought when I saw his video of him taking all his shit off of the truck.
It’s not like there is a bunch of threads on here with the same “death shake” issue either where you could make the case that it is a known issue. Like phasers or roof issues.
I’m sure the search gurus will prove me wrong though. Lol.
Anyone else have this issue he is having?
he doesn’t hide anything his videos are there far all including ford to see, he did springs and 37s big deal, ford has not been able to solve the issue after replacing everything, if the mods caused a given part to fail then helio should pay for the repair but they can’t figure that out, the stock truck is still shaking so ford should definitively find the cause or why did they use their truck for the baja race?
Springs and 37’s are a big deal. His mods are the root cause of his issues. This is not an issue that stock trucks have. Ford owes him nothing, he should have been paying for the repairs from the beginning, but he committed fraud by removing mods before bring it to the dealer. What are you referring to about a “Baja race”?
I agree that with the truck now in stock form, the dealer should be able to find a root cause if it is still having an issue. Once the root cause is found then they can argue about who pays.
That being said I don’t agree with the lemon law claim.
