Do I tune the F150

[FirstWorldProblems]

I'm sure it's close to the same as GM. In fact, I have a good friend thats a service writer for Ford. I'll shoot him a text.

Thanks Kevin!

That is what this forum is all about.. Hopefully you get the green light to mod away. The amount of hesitation you guys have not to blow the truck up while under warranty would make me completely hesitate to modify it outside of the warranty...

this thing tuned yet?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Nope, still slow

 

[Spivitz]

You just HAVE to

If you have other toys to mess around I'd leave your daily stock . I was so close to trow a Whipple on my 5.0 F150 but I decided to leave my daily alone . Few years passed by and I'm happy with this decision. My buddy popped a trans on his supercharged Silverado . GM dined the warranty

I think a supercharger is a little different the a tune..

Conrad, I sent you something on FB.

I would leave the truck alone until after the warranty expires. These trucks aren't exactly slow in stock condition.

An aftermarket tune is definitely enough to deny a warranty claim on a transmission.

my boss threw a whipple on his 2016 5.0 similarly to [MENTION=5070]01SILVERBULLET[/MENTION]

less than 500 miles on the clock


warranty?


never heard of her.

 

[Yaj Yak]

fuck, the ways you guys are scared of voiding warranties makes me happy to not have any vehicles with them.


edit.... fuck. sxs has one.

I voided my CPO on the R almost instantly and I'm still getting warranty work passed through Fuck it.

im really surprised no one on tcg from the ferd club doesn't have a hookedupped "cool" dealer to "take care of stuff"

 

[boostedguy05]

i can't wait to hear they wont replace a window switch that stopped working because i tuned my truck

A tune most definitely is. However, it doesn't punch you square in the dick when you open the hood. Tune is a little low key. That was my point.

My new truck warranty was voided with 500 miles on it.

Bredemann in Glenview was good to me about "modified" stuff, but does him no good being in NWI

I had full bolt ons and E85 on my GTR and never had an issue to get work done at the dealer. It would have been a different story if trans or motor let go . Dealer can't do much in situation like that because computer data needs to be sent to the Corp office

 

[Mook]

The VW dealer I go to basically told me that they have to prove the tune caused the failure...obviously if my motor, trans or turbo imploded...id likely be fucked and ultimately ALL warranty work has to be approved by VW America but if my water pump shit the bed, or alternator or whatever...theres a 99% chance I'm getting covered.

It doesnt really matter anymore anyway...pretty sure my CPO is donezo now that I've hit 36k miles. I forget how much I had left on it last time I was in.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

I voided my warranty on my mustang within a month and have voided other fun/weekend vehicles warranties as well. I think what most people voting no to the tune are worried about is that its your daily driver and who wants to void a warranty on a vehicle you depend on?

 

[GTPpower]

As much as I'd like to see it tuned, I wouldn't do it unless you have the cash in the bank to replace the engine or transmission. If you pop the engine, no dealer today is going to warranty it with a tuner on it.
