If the trucks transmission fails because of an engine tune , they've got to definitively prove the extra horsepower and torque, changed shift points caused this.
I doubt they'd really want to say OMG , our transmission failed because a tune added
50 hp/45 ft lbs. That alone would make people think , fords transmissions are weak and can't hold up to the daily uses of a truck.
They'd fix it and move on because of this.

We do not have any experience with warranty voidance. We do always advocate being honest if asked about any modifications. Here are two articles that are a good read if you are concerned about your warranty and modifications.

This statement would apply to specific items called out in the warranty that would not be covered, which tuners are specifically called out in the Ford powertrain warranty:
Read your warranty. Often bundled with your owner’s manual, the warranty gives a general
description and specific details about your coverage.

The Magnuson Moss Warranty act is written for warranty protection when using aftermarket parts like Fram, or Purolator filters. BTW, I wouldn't use a Fram oil filter on ANY engine!

I don’t particularly like loud exhausts but I don’t bother posting that in threads where people who do are asking about them as it doesn’t add any value or helpful information to the OP.

@Takeda – I’m curious, what is the ultimate outcome you’re trying to achieve by continually preaching about potential warranty implications and Tunes? You’re obviously not in support of tuning, correct, so why opine every time the topic of tuning comes up?

In case you missed it, here's an example just from today where a member's engine blew and Ford never even asked or discussed that the engine was tuned (most likely because they recognized it was a defect in the engine from the start):

Thread after thread it's the same people who come in and ruin them. Posting their opinions once or even twice is not enough but over and over and over and.....
