Warranty friendly tuner from Ford Racing.

[olla]

Question. So suppose you get the tune from Ford Racing and it's covered for the 32k warranty right? So what if you buy the extended warranty to 100k? Will ford cover the tune to the 100k?

No as stated earlier in the thread this warranty that you would have is no longer the original factory warranty. You would be covered under the Ford racing warranty only for whatever amount of time (most likely 3 years/36k miles). So if you get the Ford racing tuner after having your car for 2 years, then you will be under warranty for 1 more year. AND to get that warranty you would have to have the tune installed by the dealer so there is no hiding it

and that is why it makes more sense to just get a 3rd party tune so you can KEEP your factory warranty. IF it is true that you can just hide the flash and they will never know

Agreed, this thread has convinced me to go Cobb/Adam Tuned when I do. Have to remember to flash back to stock if anything goes wrong.

I guess it depends on the dealer checking for diagnostic codes if they were to know that you flashed the car.. I read somewhere that they won't know if you reflash back to stock and drive for a 100 miles or so.

I can't confirm this and would like to know. I remember when I had to smog my g35 after I just reconnected the battery.. the smog guys said I have to drive it for 90 miles before the computers are ready to be tested.

Thanks I read that.. however, I'm not sure if you have to push the start button cycling it on/off 67+ times or start the car on/off..

I replied but haven't heard anything yet..

Wait wait wait. Explain that last sentence. Isn't the free tune the same as the e-tune... except the e-tune is just so you can keep pestering him after more mods? Lol

Or is it actually more comprehensive than the free tune?

He posted a dyno for his etune and "free" tune.

The free tune is much lower than the etune... one of the reasons I decided not to purchase his tune to test against Torrie's tune, which I have now (SCT).

It means in order to get something better than Torrie, you need the $500 device and then Adam's $250 etune. $750 or keep my $400 device and tunes.... hmm... lol (technically I could sell my SCT for, I guess at least $250 and only be out $500).

Cobb is nice, no lie... that much nicer? I dunno... decided to get my Florida CCW license instead. lol

My vert is hitting 0-60 in 5.3 the last time I checked (month or two ago)... I don't really need to go any faster. Each his/her own though.

Cycle not start. Insert key, turn till everything powers up except the engine.

We don't have a key to insert :shrug:

No ignition either?

Ok. Push the start bottom without pressing the brake.

Here's the key, by the way.
