Its just a $3 fuel treatment. Im taking off the tuner when I take it to the dealer. Hope it didn't mess anything up tho.

Yeah that too, stop adding that crap. If it was meant to be there Ford would tell you to put it there in the owners manual.
I just wanted to prevent carbon build up but im done running that stuff. I haven't ran it since 3500 miles but im done. I think I used it twice so im guessing it didn't do anything.

It's not bad to run it a couple times a year or something like that, but I wouldn't run it too often. That stuff is pretty harsh. I'm sure your tuner or the additives had nothing to do with it, I wouldn't worry about that.

Alright that makes me feel better. I did wash the truck Thursday afternoon and water got under the hood and about 3 hours later is when the truck gave me the check engine light.

Probably has nothing to do with it either, everything is sealed up extremely well. The guy who does our detailing sprays the hell out of the motors with a hose lol. Most of the time while they're running. The only time it'll mess with anything is when you have bad spark plug wires. Then they light up like a christmas tree with sparks everywhere.

Iv heard that the coil packs go bad if they get really wet but its under warranty so if anythings broke they will fix it. Hopefully they fix it fast lol.

Nah, they're completely sealed, and the motor gets so hot the water evaporates right off. Even if there's water all around the coil, the boot seals water from getting into the plug.

I suppose if they got soaked and then the water sat for a long time it would cause damage, but say you wash it down then drive it for a while, it'd evaporate right out of there. You don't really have anything to worry about, I'm sure it's something dumb.

I drove it for about 20 mins, washed it and then drove it for about 5 mins. And its pretty cold in Michigan. It was at 198° when I shut it down.
