Looking at my latest warranty info (for a 04 dodge, but should be similar for ford).

Under Federal Warranty: parts covered for 8/80 - catalytic converter, PCM.

Under ssection 5.3 California Emmisions warranty, section C: parts covered for 8/80 (says see federal emisions warranty) - catalytic converter, PCM.


So, at least with dodge the federal 8/80 supercedes californias 7/70 - but even if Ford for some reason only gives 7/70 in CA you'd still be covered with your mileage.


EDIT: Just read your posts: Wow, looks like Ford really does like to screw you on warranty. Exactly the reason I'm driving a new Caravan (7/70 powertrain, follows federal emmissionss limits even in CA and generally seem to care about keeping customers happy) instead of a Windstar / Freestar .
