It's not, that's all I'm saying.

I went to small claims court here against a dealer, I had facts and reports from an expert, but no eye witness. He had a service tech (the "expert"), and Wikipedia (not even kidding). I got fu**ed bad, so you can understand why I dont really trust the court system when it comes to aftermarket modifications.

Like I said, our neighbors up north get boned coming and going, you assume Ford is actually going to let a case go to court, trust me they do not want that kind of publicity.

I've had my truck in for engine warranty work a few times, none related to running a tune but nothing was said regardless.
If you go in for warranty work and your running after market down pipes, intercooler, exhaust.... not only can those possibly void your warranty but they will definitely dig deeper.

I figure if I sneeze wrong my warranty is voided, so at 25k I tuned it
