Ford is denying warranty coverage because a Ford part did not fail. You said the dealer fired the last tech for incompetence, well there you go. It's the dealer's responsibility (or whoever had it apart last) to fix it.

That makes a lot of sense as well. I would say letter to Ford with the pictures as well as the fact that the Tech was fired for cause. You may still need the attorney as well though. I have no idea how much control Ford has over it's dealerships in that regard. If you could prove damages stemming from your truck being in their shop for a month.... that has to be worth something.
On a separate note I can somewhat understand Ford's stance on this one but I do feel that protecting their truck customer would be in their best interest here. There has to be somebody at Ford that controls the dealership to customer complaints probably different from warranty claims.... I'd want to talk to that guy.
