Welcome to the site!!

It won't void your warranty. Just make sure you get the kit with the 3" intake tube and not the 3.5" tube because the bigger of the 2 will make your truck run to rich/lean.

Need to tune the truck with a tuner after installing a cold air intake. It took mine 1/2 a point leaner.

An AF1 won't automatically void your warranty, but if the dealership can trace any future issues back to the CAI or any mod then they can void it. If you get the AF1, there are 2 versions as Triton alluded to already. The 3" does not require you to custom tune the truck after install, but the 3.5" requires a custom tune or your truck will run lean and that will cause warranty issues. I have the 3" tube on my truck even though I have custom tuning. Reason I went with the 3" tube is so when I take my truck to the dealership I return my truck to the stock tune, but I don't have to reinstall the stock intake.

Default Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act

To those concerned about after market performance products voiding your manufacture warranty, please look up the "Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act". The manufacturer is NOT allowed to do this!
