Only if Ford can prove without a doubt the tune caused a problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus...s_Warranty_Act

nah, only if you can prove that Ford can't prove that the tune caused the issue, big, big difference...

Thanks for the input. I just don't want to put myself in a situation where I shoot myself in the foot. Has anyone on here ever dealt with a dealership, with a tuner installed, during the warranty period?

this really has been discussed 100's of times.

The chances of a dealer refusing to do work under warranty because of a tune are slim, but it's always possible. Some will look the other way, some will argue that the increased power from your tune caused your wipers to malfunction and therefore won't cover that. Most of the time it's somewhere in between.
"Be ready to pay if you wanna play" type-thing... if you get away with it, good, if not, you should know what to expect beforehand.

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.
