Pappy Yokum Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 9 hours ago, Chalkie said: One consideration I do not see mentioned here. If you live in an area that does emissions testing you run the risk of failing the test if you make modifications like one of these tuners unless you remove it before testing. The software *may* still show (memory) it has been "tampered with" even after removal. However the most important consideration is warranty (if the vehicle is covered by same). A common problem with warranty claims with some brands - was when an owner brought in his vehicle with say a transmission breakdown - - *if* the dealer "discovered" the tuning modification , they would flat-out void the warranty, period! (with factory approval). In spite of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act (often cited by the after-market vendors), it is up to the owner to take appropriate action to "prove" the modification was covered by MM. Dealer/factory = deep pockets, attorneys on retainer., time on their side. You = Mega $$ out of YOUR pocket.......*maybe* some assistance from the vendor (doubtful). Charlie - Before you indicated what engine you had - most "suspected" it was a diesel. However, now that the "secret" is out.......There are plenty of forums which include various Ford *GAS* engines, etc. Spend some time on the Ford Enthusiasts Forums . Search the various V10 threads. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieF Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yep, the secret is out! 😀 The warranty issue is a real concern I’m most likely not going to mess with the computer settings. Thanks for your comments. Charlie F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
