RE: Custom Tuning and Warranty
If the Search function worked worth a $hit on this forum, more people would use it. If I feel like burning a lot of time and getting nowhere, I come to the forum and try using the search function to find something.

It depends on the dealer. The dealer I work with does not void for the tune simply because for ever aftermarket thing you do to these cars you have to tune for it. I don't think you should have an issue with your dealer voiding your warrenty.

I don't get it. Even if the search function doesn't work, doesn't anyone read the manual to their predator or SCT? Come on, both units hold multiple custom tunes, multiple supplied tunes with your kit, and factory default settings. Simply switch to the factory default setting whenver you have to go to the dealer and it won't even be an issue. It takes about 2 whole minuets and 0 computer/car knowledge.

very true but here in .03 second im gonna welcome you to the 21st century. Every time you touch the ECU on a new car it leaves a shadow code, showing what you did to it and what you used. Therefore even though you restored factory settings, it still shows at one time you altered the ECU. So if the dealer deems that doing the altercation caused the failure, thats when your warrenty goes bye-bye.

Thanks Buck Rodgers. I really didn't know it left a shadow and that's good info. I personally lost my warranty a long time ago in a mod galaxy far far away..... But great info for the guys with intake and tunes. Sounds sarcastic, but I'm j/k - I really didn't know that - thanks for the info.

O.K. I'm the new guy so help me understand. I get the reflash back to the factory setting, but are you guys saying to jank off my CAI each time I have to take the car to the dealer? Put back all the factory stuff? Help me out. Thanks

There is no taking out the tune for me since the 4:10's were installed. The biggest thing you can do for the dealership so they won't mess with you is complete the survey when Ford calls about your service and give them all excellents on there job performance.
