Does the ford tune box have too be plugged in at all times, or do you only need it while flashing the PCM?I took this picture while installing my Ford Performance tune just FYI. I would assume that the Livernois may push the envelope a little more, but I can't picture it being much of a difference. All I know is the Ford Performance tune makes the truck feel much more refined, quite a bit more pull throughout the entire rpm range, they've just recently updated it so that you can tow with the tune and it would be a lot harder for Ford to point their own tune out as causing the issue to void a warranty (after the FP tune's 3yr 36k mile warranty). Just my .02. I have no doubt the Livernois tune is amazing, I just also wanted a little peace of mind on a brand new truck. Hope this helped.
Only while flashing, but you can keep it plugged in if you want
Technically the Ford tune does mess with your warranty. It doesnt void it but it does take the powertrain warranty down to 3/36,000 and it goes off the original vehicle sale date. I have already proven this in other threads so no since in trying to argue that.

? Jesus here we go again. No it doesn't. Don't listen to him. This is from FORD not some people on the internet. Here's the link: fpp-warranty.pdf (ford.com)
Apparently you haven't talked to the lovely people over at Ford. You should give them a call. Oh and BTW I am a certified Ford technician that has already verified this. Simple as that?
It's pretty clearly written. You might be a technician, but I can tell you what a lawyer would say after reading the article that is posted and published by Ford Motor Company.
What does "This Performance Pack and Components" mean in the same sentence?Perhaps you did not read this very well. I highlighted a key point for you here.
That is correct because your warranty was down graded to 3 year 36,000 miles. Do yourself a favor and call Ford tomorrow and they will confirm this for you. Remember that there is always a risk when tuning you vehicle.
"Installation of these select Ford Performance warranted performance packs and components by an authorized installer will NOT void your New Vehicle Limited Warranty"
That is completely false. It is written very clearly that the "Performance Packs and Components" are what have a 3 year 36k mile warranty starting from the original vehicle warranty. This is so you can't have a truck with 100,000 miles on it, tune it and then claim Ford is responsible for footing the bill if there is an issue. Your vehicles factory warranty remains intact UNLESS they can prove that the tune was the issue and even if they DO prove that the tune was the cause of the issue, if your truck has 3 years or 36k miles or less, it is covered under warranty. This really should not even be a debate. Im sorry to hijack your thread, but this fake news bs needs to quit spreading.
