KIDOR Lemon Law Denied and Suspension Warranty Cancelled

[MarkM98]

As long as everything is disclosed to next owner he should sell it . Maybe for not what he wanted . Truck may be perfectly fine in stock form. That's why i don't buy used for the most part. If i did i would get the complete history on it.

My opinion is his truck is not worth no $70,000. $55,000 or less is more like it. The market is still so crazy on Raptors. He is getting out at the right time for his advantage. This time last year, Used Raptors were not selling at the prices they are today.

I was sour on him when he admitted he didn’t want to reprogram after going up to 37s because the truck will report less miles in the odometer.

Oh man you made me go down a rabbit hole I never thought I would see I think my math is correct so here goes:

35 = 109.9" per rotation
37 = 116.18" per rotation

63,360" = 1 mile

63360 / 109.9 = 576.52 Rotations per mile
63360 / 116.8 = 545.36 Rotations per mile

Difference of 31.16 rotations

So 31.6 * 116.8 = 3690.88" or 307.57 feet more distance travelled per mile.

So 307.57 * 1000 (miles) = 307,570 / 5280 = 58.25 more miles travelled than shown on the odometer PER 1000 miles.

I guess it could be significant over time.

Yea the overall effect is minor on that. It’s more just the mindset or principle of the matter. You’re doing it to mislead. Just like returning the truck to stock and then filing a lemon law suit and being mad you got caught.

Yeah but I was then wondering how much of a difference 2" more tire actually makes in the real world. It works out to be 583 miles per 10k miles which is more than 5% so not super insignificant I guess.

I can’t bring myself to watch this guy’s videos again, but refresh my memory - didn’t he say that he’d secured a lawyer and had been told he had a solid case against Ford?

If that was true, then why would offload the truck that would have netting him a truckload of money? I mean it seems to me he had a golden ticket so why sell/trade? Lawyer was going to make him rich, after all...

I, for one was hoping we would learn of this magical lawyer/law firm, so that all of us consumers would benefit by being able to sue and defeat a manufacturer’s abuse claims easily. Think how much more easy we would have it if we could all just mod our trucks with anything we want and stick Ford with the results, right?

 

[jabroni619]

From his own words, his truck had the issue before he modded it. That begs the question, if you’re having an issue with a truck in the stock configuration, why would you do anything that could jeopardize the warranty prior to letting Ford attempt to fix it.

He’s full of shit

 

[TwizzleStix]

This ^^^^ is Fact

 

[Woolaroc]

I must have missed the video where he said he didn't want to re-program for the larger tires due to the odometer. That's slimy. I would think a re-program could have actually helped the computer and perhaps solved his "issues" that he said were caused by the electronic steering.

But the BFG KO2 is really 315/25.4 x .70 x 2 + 17" = 34.36" so.....

34.36 x Pi = 107.95 so......

Not trying to nitpick but you went down the rabbit hole.

LOL true, I just used a 35 vs 37... but the 37 would be like 36.xx too so I'm gonna call it a wash
