thats ford dealer workers adding ford parts... thats very different then other aftermarket parts being self installed or by a third party shop. think about it.

FRPP is not OEM and as such does not carry the same warranty as OEM. Each aftermarket part including FRPP has it's own warranty that is typically 12/12,000 regardless of installer. If FRPP is installed by the dealer and it fails, the dealer can go to FRPP for coverage of the labor under that part warranty, not Ford's. If you install it yourself, you're out of pocket for any 3rd party install costs.

The only exception I am currently aware of is the Whipple/Roush S/C installed on 2010 and up GT's. If an Authorized dealer installs it, it's 3/36K. If you install it or have some other shop do it, 12/12K.

Either way, Non OEM is Non OEM. I've known dealerships that will not install anything but OEM and will be huge butt holes when a modded car is brought to them. They no longer have any of my Ford business.

I'm one of the few lucky ones to live by a dealership that can handle a modded mustang.

Took my car to the dealer for oil change and had them check the rough shifting.
The service manager showed me a tec report from ford to change the tranny fluid. They did and put in:xt 11 qdc fluid. Shifts like a dream. No charge!!!

I totally agree here. I will never go to such a butt hole dealership because those are the asshats that would dare to try to put into your records that you have mods with the sole intent to deny any possible and future warranty service that would be justified.

Only if everyone would assemble such lists of loser dealerships and post them up, we can all avoid them like the plague wen it comes to servicing our cars. Maybe loss of service business would give them a clue and they would drop such dumbass policies.

I don't think you would make a significant dent. Mustangs are a small fraction of their business (5% ish?). Modded mustangs are a fraction of that. When you hang out on forums such as these, it easy to forget that we are a tiny portion of their business.
Your average motorist has no clue if there getting screwed. As long as they can get a hot cup of coffee in the service waiting room, they're good.

I would guess that the typical forum enthusiast picks up on far more issues with their vehicle then the typical customer. Furthermore, I bet we are far more likely to push for issues to be corrected.

At the end of the day, we = tiny fraction of service business = low profit business = PITA business .

YMMV.

I've owned 6 mustangs including 3 cobras and dealing with Dealers in Fl. and Tx. I found that bringing my car in for pay service seemed to be a cheap warranty. They actually look at you as a customer instead of someone who comes in only for warranty repair. Did the same thing with my Corvettes and believe me Chevy service on vettes isn't cheap but when I hit a pot hole and bent two of my rims they actually warrantied them. This is just my opinion and it works for me.

This. But I feel sorry for you ladies that worry about it. It's your f^^ckin' car and they can go pound sand. There are more dealers out there that DON'T give a ratz azz about mods than those that do so go find one and quit being a panty wasted wuss.

I believe you are mistaken on the Ford Warrranty on the Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger(525HP). There is no warranty at all unless it installed by a Ford Dealership and then it is 12/12. Roush warranties its supercharger as does Edelbrock for 3/36.
