I have attached the Ford Performance warranty document. It clearly states in the second paragraph that it does not impact the factory warranty. If you had a failure after the FP warranty period associated with the tune that would not be covered but it does not shorten you powertrain warranty.Well.... it only retains 3 years of the warranty. It does NOT retain the 5 year warranty, as far as I could tell, which is why I decided to not go that route.
OK. When I was looking I thought I read that with the tune the warranty would be 3yrs/36000 from the time of purchase of the truck, not from purchase of the tune.I have attached the Ford Performance warranty document.

This is correct in that it's 3/36 from the truck's in-service date.OK. When I was looking I thought I read that with the tune the warranty would be 3yrs/36000 from the time of purchase of the truck, not from purchase of the tune.
Note sure what I was looking at.
The problem with that is you already know every dealership out there will say it has a tune and that clearly caused the failure. That's the huge problem to that. It'd be the same idea if you had a tune not approved by Ford on your truck. The dealership could say that's the cause of the failure now you're SOLI have attached the Ford Performance warranty document.

Regardless, they only have 14,00 miles to say that anyways even if they did want to blame the tune (which I think is unlikely)The problem with that is you already know every dealership out there will say it has a tune and that clearly caused the failure.

Yeah so there is a problem with that theory. Ford already has a way to see if the vehicle has had a tune removed. Sounds crazy but I have seen the bulletin while working at a Ford dealer. Why do they do that? Simple, because on certain vehicles Ford knows it will happen.I think one can flash back to stock and they may not know you had a tune?? so if something pops go back to stock and dont answer too many questions. I hate to sound like an ass but in my mind a warranty is only as good as a dealer salesman... oh wait they call them "service advisors" lol. so in my past experience with ford dealer service i feel pretty much no warranty.? i will not high jack the thread with my stories of the service advisors hosing me. I say tune her up and let it roll. fp put a lot of time in on the tune to be safe and meet the super anal retentive lawyer friendly liability, deniability. They will keep you just happy nuff to finance another ford. problems from the ford tune that havent been bubbed with or seen too much hey yall watch this, are likely few and far between.
Well you can speculate on what will happen but the dealer does not make the call on whether a warranty claim is denied or not, that decision is made by Ford Motor Co.The problem with that is you already know every dealership out there will say it has a tune and that clearly caused the failure.
