No it wasn't out of warranty, it was done at 50k miles, it had a 60k powertrain on it. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference, if he buys an extended warranty from ford, they have to honor it. There is no way the customer can have any control of what parts were used on a prior repair. Anyway, he is obviously not going to buy it because of the work being done, me personally I would look at it like an engine with only 10k miles on the timing set, which should equal more life. The reason why you see napa and other parts trucks at the dealer all of the time is because they service other makes and models besides fords, their used inventory, etc. For example I can take my expedition to the gmc dealer in my home town for a brake job, oil change, etc. . I bought my expedition from a Nissan dealer used, and they wanted me to bring it there for service, do you think Nissan parts dept has brakes, oil filters, fuel filters, spark plugs, etc. for an expedition?
