Setup an appointment, took it in with the Whipple whining, loud exhaust, big tires, 8" gauge cluster, Fox Shocks and a ton of different mods.

The service manager came up and shook my hand and said..."I see a lot of modded truck, yours is one nicest I've seen".

Drove out with new window no questions asked. Granted they didn't do anything to the engine, I doubt that I would even pursue them fixing any engine problem. I'll just take care of it.

Yeah I don’t worry much about the coyote... it’s not an Ecoboost.

Oh, Summer, ... is called an ellipsis. It only has 3 dots, not 4. Learn some grammar, or I’m told no one will read your post. I don’t care about grammar and SP, so rag on. I love it when someone is a grammar dick and makes a mistake. Lol
They won’t void a windshield. They will void a driveshaft, transmission, or anything drivetrain/engine related. Summer, I’m glad you stopped reading because I misspelled warranty. That means you made a comment without even knowing the information, and hence it was a hasty generalization, and of no value to anyone, and I can write you off as “ not useful”. In fact, with 14,000 posts, I thought you might be more helpful. Since 75% of the posts on here have spelling mistakes, you must not read much, and only criticize other people. Thanks, that’s real help.
So here is what I was told by Ford, through Roush, draw your own conclusions.
The 2018 warranty on the Roush, through Ford, is not the same warranty they offered last year. So go do some research, or call someone from Roush or Ford if you really don’t believe me. I’m not saying it is true, just that Roush told my dealer this, and they passed it on.
Ive tuned and raced 6 cars: 2 Audi S4s, 1 STI, 1 Porsche 996 991, and an R32. Some dealers are better than others. However, Subaru has been known to go on NASIOC to follow users who post race videos, and have denied claims for this. Other dealers write off any car that has been tracked. I’ve spent a lot of money tuning cars, and twice had my warranty denied, even when the tech at the dealer said the mod is ok. You can take the manufacturer to court, to make them prove the modified part caused the failure, but I know of no one who has spent the money to do this.
So, do what you want. I think only 5 or 6 people on here have the 2018 Roush, this post was to help them out. Jerks can move on.

Still trying to decide if I should feel silly.

I think the 2650 rotors are a great design, the Roush blower not so much.

This fact doesn’t have anything to do with this thread.

Custom tune and enjoy

Here's a thought, if you take your Roush supercharged truck in for warranty work, just make sure to right "F**K You!" on the windshield the night before, then clean it off. That way, if the secret agent Roush tech makes scene at the dealer, he'll be in for a surprise when he does the forensics on your windshield glass.

You can get glass polish/scrub at most auto parts stores, its like paint polish but for your glass. Removes any residue and should help delete any invisible number marks.

Did you purchase the supplemental powertrain warranty or do you just have the standard warranty? There is a difference...

There was a difference in 2017 not in 2018.

Well, it doesn't really matter anyway, according to this document https://www.roushperformance.com/med...edWarranty.pdf It's plainly written in the warranty info that issues that result from racing are not covered by the warranty.

Pasting messed up the formatting so I bolded that part...
