(currently 66K miles) That was why the sensor went bad. So that cost $100 for the warrenty claim. Now since the same dealership has always serviced my truck they should have changed to filters at the right time. So they expect me to pay for their screw ups? Please tell me if I am wrong.

Pay for their screw up's ? Its is YOUR responsibility as the owner to keep up with the scheduled maintenance of your truck. When I take my 20ft Champion with its 225 Optimax to the dealer for its service I ALWAYS inquire as to what is needed for the hours on the outboard. It is no different on your truck. If you read the maintenance schedule supplied with the vechicle, You would have seen that the fuel filters need replacing every 15k. While it may seem expensive to those who dont have the knowledge or ability to do the filters themselves, It is imperative none the less. I would be glad the dealer gave me the benefit of having my service done at their shop instead of charging me for the repair due to lack of maintenance. You have invested alot of money in your truck as well as your boat so its always pays to edcuate yourself on doing wahtever you can to keep them running properly.
