[QUOTE="mullens, post: 10870609, member: 69718"] I don't own a 5.0, so I can be objective here. I've read every post before I put my .02 in, so here goes. 1) I feel for the OP, but Ford will hang their hat on the fact that it was tuned. And they will connect the tune to the failure, as the MM Act dictates. I wish him the best, but it will be a tough fight to win. 2) I believe there is a design problem with#8 cylinder but it only manifests itslef when there is a custom tune. That's no defense for a warranty repair. 3) This is not an isolated incident or one particular tuner. The common denominators are are a custom tune, #8 cyinder, and cracked piston lands. If it were me, I would NOT put a custom tune in a 5.0, never ever. Unless of course my last name was Gates or Trump. FRPP tunes excepted, as all the safeties are left in place, and are tested in ALL types of conditions, and all types of fuels. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
